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.

Answer 1

scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0,0.0,ScreenWidth,ScreenHeigth)];
    [scrollView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
    [scrollView setDelegate:self];
    [scrollView setShowsHorizontalScrollIndicator:NO];
    [scrollView setShowsVerticalScrollIndicator:NO];
    [scrollView setMaximumZoomScale:2.0];
    image=[image scaleToSize:CGSizeMake(ScreenWidth, ScreenHeigth)];
    imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
    UIImageView* imageViewBk = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"background.png"]];
    [self.view addSubview:imageViewBk];
    CGRect rect;
    rect.origin.x=0;
    rect.origin.y=0;
    rect.size.width = image.size.width;
    rect.size.height = image.size.height;

    [imageView setFrame:rect];

    [scrollView setContentSize:[imageView frame].size];
    [scrollView setMinimumZoomScale:[scrollView frame].size.width / [imageView frame].size.width];
    [scrollView setZoomScale:[scrollView minimumZoomScale]];
    [scrollView addSubview:imageView];

    [[self view] addSubview:scrollView];

then you can take screen shots to your image by this

float zoomScale = 1.0 / [scrollView zoomScale];
CGRect rect;
rect.origin.x = [scrollView contentOffset].x * zoomScale;
rect.origin.y = [scrollView contentOffset].y * zoomScale;
rect.size.width = [scrollView bounds].size.width * zoomScale;
rect.size.height = [scrollView bounds].size.height * zoomScale;

CGImageRef cr = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect([[imageView image] CGImage], rect);

UIImage *cropped = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cr];

CGImageRelease(cr);
