Question

Answer 1

You're not the only one with this problem. I've had major problems with CGBitmapContextCreateImage(). When you turn on Zombie mode, it even warns you that memory is released twice (when it's not the case). There's definitely a problem when mixing CG* stuff with UI* stuff. I'm still trying to figure out how to code around this issue.

Side note: calling UIGraphicsBeginImageContext is not thread-safe. Be careful.
