How to create duplicate copy of UIImage

[vishal]

Hi,

I am very new to iPhone SDK, so this might be very foolish question.

How to create duplicate copy of the UIImage. I am having the imageRef and creating one image from it. I want to create duplicate copy of that image. But my application is crashing while accessing the duplicate copy.

Is he creates the reference to the image when tried to create new image from same imageRef?

Is there any API to copy UIImage.

Try this...

// Get the Core Graphics Reference to the Image
CGImageRef cgImage = [image CGImage];

// Make a new image from the CG Reference
UIImage *copyOfImage = [[UIImage alloc] initWithCGImage:cgImage];

... do stuff ...

// Dont forget to release your allocs when you're done with them!

[image release];
[copyOfImage release];

Fyi, not an expert, but this does not seem to make a deep copy of the image.

i hope that after 2 years he solved himself....

However it is another object with the same image....so basically it is a copy.
