How to get a correctly rotated UIImage from an ALAssetRepresentation?

Question

I’m trying to get a correctly rotated UIImage from an ALAssetRepresentation using the fullScreenImage method. I have several testing p

Answer 1

ALAssetRepresentation *rep = [asset defaultRepresentation];
UIImage *img = [UIImage
    imageWithCGImage:[rep fullScreenImage]
    scale:[rep scale]
    orientation:UIImageOrientationUp];

Is correct as under iOS 5 the fullscreenimages is already rotated (so it’s always “up”). Under iOS 4 the behaviour is different. Please see Orientation does not behave correctly with Photo in ALAsset for a more in depth explanation.
