Correct crop of CIGaussianBlur

Question

As I noticed when CIGaussianBlur is applied to image, image\'s corners gets blurred so that it looks like being smaller than original. So I figured out that I need to crop i

Answer 1

This works for me :)

CIContext *context = [CIContext contextWithOptions:nil];
CIImage *inputImage = [[CIImage alloc] initWithImage:image];
CIFilter *blurFilter = [CIFilter filterWithName:@"CIGaussianBlur"];
[blurFilter setDefaults];
[blurFilter setValue:inputImage forKey:@"inputImage"];
CGFloat blurLevel = 20.0f;          // Set blur level
[blurFilter setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:blurLevel] forKey:@"inputRadius"];    // set value for blur level
CIImage *outputImage = [blurFilter valueForKey:@"outputImage"];
CGRect rect = inputImage.extent;    // Create Rect
rect.origin.x += blurLevel;         // and set custom params
rect.origin.y += blurLevel;         // 
rect.size.height -= blurLevel*2.0f; //
rect.size.width -= blurLevel*2.0f;  //
CGImageRef cgImage = [context createCGImage:outputImage fromRect:rect];    // Then apply new rect
imageView.image = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cgImage];
CGImageRelease(cgImage);
