Long story short - there's no Interface builder involved but I'm basically using a scrollview with an imageview in it to allow for manipulation of the image by the user. When they hit the save button I grab that layer, dump it into another imageview and put some labels on it. That is then saved as the final image.
I'm going to re-work this process because its convoluted right now, but it works fine for right now.
To answer your specific question though ... Yes, this would be second generation since its not using the original image data but creating a whole new image from the view. However, if there's any image degradation its minimal from what I can see and for my purposes its not really an issue.
I can't say I'd do the same thing if I was planning on creating works of art =)
