UIImage: Resize, then Crop

Question

I\'ve been bashing my face into this one for literally days now and even though I feel constantly that I am right on the edge of revelation, I simply cannot achieve my goal.

Here you go. This one is perfect ;-)

EDIT: see below comment - "Does not work with certain images, fails with: CGContextSetInterpolationQuality: invalid context 0x0 error"

// Resizes the image according to the given content mode, taking into account the image's orientation
- (UIImage *)resizedImageWithContentMode:(UIViewContentMode)contentMode imageToScale:(UIImage*)imageToScale bounds:(CGSize)bounds interpolationQuality:(CGInterpolationQuality)quality {
    //Get the size we want to scale it to
    CGFloat horizontalRatio = bounds.width / imageToScale.size.width;
    CGFloat verticalRatio = bounds.height / imageToScale.size.height;
    CGFloat ratio;

    switch (contentMode) {
        case UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill:
            ratio = MAX(horizontalRatio, verticalRatio);
            break;

        case UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit:
            ratio = MIN(horizontalRatio, verticalRatio);
            break;

        default:
            [NSException raise:NSInvalidArgumentException format:@"Unsupported content mode: %d", contentMode];
    }

    //...and here it is
    CGSize newSize = CGSizeMake(imageToScale.size.width * ratio, imageToScale.size.height * ratio);


    //start scaling it
    CGRect newRect = CGRectIntegral(CGRectMake(0, 0, newSize.width, newSize.height));
    CGImageRef imageRef = imageToScale.CGImage;
    CGContextRef bitmap = CGBitmapContextCreate(NULL,
                                                newRect.size.width,
                                                newRect.size.height,
                                                CGImageGetBitsPerComponent(imageRef),
                                                0,
                                                CGImageGetColorSpace(imageRef),
                                                CGImageGetBitmapInfo(imageRef));

    CGContextSetInterpolationQuality(bitmap, quality);

    // Draw into the context; this scales the image
    CGContextDrawImage(bitmap, newRect, imageRef);

    // Get the resized image from the context and a UIImage
    CGImageRef newImageRef = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(bitmap);
    UIImage *newImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:newImageRef];

    // Clean up
    CGContextRelease(bitmap);
    CGImageRelease(newImageRef);

    return newImage;
}
