Answer 1

Save a temporary image after every drawing operation.
You should save on temporary files and limit the number of undo operations.

Answer 2

I have the same issue in my app after the long search i found the simple solution for this issue.

i just used touches methods of the UIViewController

The below is the my approach,

Code:-

   #pragma mark touches stuff...



 - (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
        UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
        lastTouch = [touch locationInView:self.editedImageView];
    }

    - (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
        UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
        currentTouch = [touch locationInView:self.editedImageView];

        CGFloat brushSize;
        if (isEraser) 
        {
            brushSize=eraser;
        }
        else
        {
            brushSize=mark;
        }
        CGColorRef strokeColor = [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor;

        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.editedImageView.frame.size);
        CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
        [self.editedImageView.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.editedImageView.frame.size.width, self.editedImageView.frame.size.height)];
        CGContextSetLineCap(context, kCGLineCapRound);
        CGContextSetLineWidth(context, brushSize);
        if (isEraser) {

            CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:self.im].CGColor);
        }  
        else
        {
            CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, strokeColor);
            CGContextSetBlendMode(context, kCGBlendModeClear); 
        }
        CGContextBeginPath(context);
        CGContextMoveToPoint(context, lastTouch.x, lastTouch.y);
        CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, currentTouch.x, currentTouch.y);
        CGContextStrokePath(context);
        self.editedImageView.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

        lastTouch = [touch locationInView:self.editedImageView];
    }

    - (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
    {

    }

The Inputs:

self.editedImageView.image = "Your Custom image";

self.im    =   "Your Custom image";

The simple solution of your problem will be :-

CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:self.im].CGColor);

Note:

This not unerase it again drawing the image over

Update:-

 self.im    =   "Your Custom image";

this will be like this....

-(void)eraserConfigure
{
    UIImageView *resizeImage=[[[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:editedImage]autorelease];
    /*UIImage */self.im=[UIImage imageFromView:resizeImage scaledToSize:CGSizeMake(self.editedImageView.frame.size.width, self.editedImageView.frame.size.height)];
}
