How to set the resolution of a saved image from the UIImagePickerController.

[BarryK88]

I'm using an UIImagePickerController to set a picture from my cameraroll to a UIImageView. However the image is getting scaled automaticly inside this UIImageView because I mentioned 'scale to fit' inside the IB. I'd like to save my chosen image with a resolution of 80x80 pixels so that I won't have to scale. (My App is getting realy slow because of this scaling issue.)

Here's a snippit from my code:

-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
    	  didFinishPickingImage : (UIImage *)image
    				 editingInfo:(NSDictionary *)editingInfo
    {
    	[picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    	UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, nil, nil, nil);
    		photoView.image = image;
    	
    
    		NSString *docDir = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];		
    		NSString *pngFilePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/foto1.png",docDir];
    		NSData *data = [NSData dataWithData:UIImagePNGRepresentation(image)];
    		
    		[data writeToFile:pngFilePath atomically:YES];
    }

Help is greatly appreciated!

Use UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions to create a new context of the size you want, then use the drawInRect method of the UIImage to draw it in the same rect size, then use UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext to grab the resulting, scaled down UIImage.
