Answer 1

I just started working on this issue in my own app.

I used the UIImage category that Trevor Harmon crafted for resizing an image and fixing its orientation, UIImage+Resize.

Then you can do something like this in -imagePickerController:didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:

UIImage *pickedImage = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
UIImage *resized = [pickedImage resizedImageWithContentMode:UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit bounds:pickedImage.size interpolationQuality:kCGInterpolationHigh];

This fixed the problem for me. The resized image is oriented correctly visually and the imageOrientation property reports UIImageOrientationUp.

There are several versions of this scale/resize/crop code out there; I used Trevor's because it seems pretty clean and includes some other UIImage manipulators that I want to use later.
