Answer 1

You can't save a UIImage directly to NSUserDefaults. You could save it as NSData, but it really is not advisable. NSUserDefaults is meant to store small bits of information in key value pairs. If you start throwing images in there, you could overload the space reserved for it. The contents of the NSUserDefaults is written to a plist. I believe any time you access the user defaults, it reads the whole file. If you put large images in there, it will cause a lot of unnecessary I/O.

If you still decide to do it (not recommended), here is a good post on getting an NSData object from the image.
