iOS : Save image with custom resolution

Question

Hi I am try to capture a view then save as an image into Photo Library , but I need create a custom resolution for captured image , here is my code but when app saves the im

Answer 1

CGSize sizePic = CGSizeMake(320, 460);
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(sizePic);
    [self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
    UIImage *imagePic = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(imagePic, nil, nil, nil);

Answer 2

have a look at this answer. The code includes rotation but nonetheless the questioner asked the same question: "How to get a […] image from an UIImageView at its full resolution?"

copied content (in case of deletion or whatever):

- (UIImage *)capturedView
{
    float imageScale = sqrtf(powf(self.captureView.transform.a, 2.f) + powf(self.captureView.transform.c, 2.f));    
    CGFloat widthScale = self.captureView.bounds.size.width / self.captureView.image.size.width;
    CGFloat heightScale = self.captureView.bounds.size.height / self.captureView.image.size.height;
    float contentScale = MIN(widthScale, heightScale);
    float effectiveScale = imageScale * contentScale;

    CGSize captureSize = CGSizeMake(enclosingView.bounds.size.width / effectiveScale, enclosingView.bounds.size.height / effectiveScale);

    NSLog(@"effectiveScale = %0.2f, captureSize = %@", effectiveScale, NSStringFromCGSize(captureSize));

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(captureSize, YES, 0.0);        
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1/effectiveScale, 1/effectiveScale);
    [enclosingView.layer renderInContext:context];   
    UIImage *img = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    return img;
}

This worked for me. I tried with image that i got from Facebook SDK http://pulkitgoyal.in/resizing-high-resolution-images-on-ios-without-memory-issues/

First get your image in UIImage object. Create your size what ever you want and use following..

UIImage *image = // you image;
CGSize size;
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] respondsToSelector:@selector(displayLinkWithTarget:selector:)] &&
([UIScreen mainScreen].scale == 2.0)) {

     // RETINA DISPLAY
      size = CGSizeMake(640, 640);
}
else {
     // Non Ratina device
      size = CGSizeMake(320, 320);
}

UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size);
[image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height)];
UIImage *destImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();    
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

Now you will get destImage with new resolution.

Hope this is what you are looking for :)

Answer 5

Your code is pretty close. What you need to do is re-render the screenshot at the custom resolution. I modified your code to do this:

UIView* captureView = self.view;

/* Capture the screen shoot at native resolution */
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(captureView.bounds.size, captureView.opaque, 0.0);
[captureView.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage * screenshot = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

/* Render the screen shot at custom resolution */
CGRect cropRect = CGRectMake(0 ,0 ,1435 ,1435);
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(cropRect.size, captureView.opaque, 1.0f);
[screenshot drawInRect:cropRect];
UIImage * customScreenShot = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

/* Save to the photo album */
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(customScreenShot , nil, nil, nil);

Note that if capture view is not square then the image will be distorted. The saved image will always be square and 1435x1435 pixels.

You can use that :

UIImageExtras.h

@interface UIImage (Extras)
-(UIImage*)imageByScalingAndCroppingForSize:(CGSize)targetSize;
@end

UIImageExtras.m

#import "UIImageExtras.h"

@implementation UIImage (Extras)

- (UIImage*)imageByScalingAndCroppingForSize:(CGSize)targetSize
{
//Image de base
UIImage *sourceImage = self;
//Image redimenssionnée
UIImage *newImage = nil; 

//Taille de l'image de base
CGSize imageSize = sourceImage.size;
//Longueur et largeur 
CGFloat width = imageSize.width;
CGFloat height = imageSize.height;

//Dimension désirée
CGFloat targetWidth = targetSize.width;
CGFloat targetHeight = targetSize.height;

//Echelle...
CGFloat scaleFactor = 0.0;
CGFloat scaledWidth = targetWidth;
CGFloat scaledHeight = targetHeight;
CGPoint thumbnailPoint = CGPointMake(0.0,0.0);

//Si taille des image est différentes on redimensionne de facon proportionnelle
if (CGSizeEqualToSize(imageSize, targetSize) == NO) 
{
    CGFloat widthFactor = targetWidth / width;
    CGFloat heightFactor = targetHeight / height;

    if (widthFactor > heightFactor)
        scaleFactor = widthFactor; // scale to fit height
    else
        scaleFactor = heightFactor; // scale to fit width
    scaledWidth  = width * scaleFactor;
    scaledHeight = height * scaleFactor;

    //Centre l'image
    if (widthFactor > heightFactor)
    {
        thumbnailPoint.y = (targetHeight - scaledHeight) * 0.5; 
    }
    else if (widthFactor < heightFactor)
        {
            thumbnailPoint.x = (targetWidth - scaledWidth) * 0.5;
        }
    }       

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(targetSize);

    CGRect thumbnailRect = CGRectZero;
    thumbnailRect.origin = thumbnailPoint;
    thumbnailRect.size.width  = scaledWidth;
    thumbnailRect.size.height = scaledHeight;

    [sourceImage drawInRect:thumbnailRect];

    newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    if(newImage == nil) 
        NSLog(@"could not scale image");

    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    return newImage;
}
@end
