Using CoreImage to filter an image results in image rotation

Question

Thanks for reading.

I\'m trying to use CoreImage in iOS 5 to alter the appearance of an image. The problem is that the existing image appears to lose its orientation

Answer 1

Actually, the solution to my issue turned out to be quite simple. Since the CGImage loses its orientation and scale factors, I simply needed to add

UIImageOrientation originalOrientation = imageView.image.imageOrientation;
CGFloat originalScale = imageView.image.scale;

early in the code and then used this instead of [UIImage imageWithCGImage:]

    UIImage *newPtImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:img2 scale:originalScale orientation:originalOrientation];

Thanks for the suggestions too.
