iPhone merge and save overlay

[Sketchiie]

I've got a code for merging two UIImageViews. The first UIImageView (theimageView) is the background, and the second UIImageView (Birdie) is an image overlaying the first UIImageView. You can load the first UIImageView from a map or take a picture. After this you can drag, rotate and scale the second UIImageView over the first one. I want the output (saved image) to look the same as what I see on the screen. I got that working, but I get borders and the quality is bad and the size too. I want the size to be the image which's chosen, and the quality to be good. Also I get a crash if I save it the second time, fast after the first time.

    - (UIImage *)combineImages{
    	
        // Draw image1
        [theimageView.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0,0, theimageView.image.size.width,theimageView.image.size.height)];
    	
        // Draw image2
        [Birdie.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(Birdie.frame.origin.x, Birdie.frame.origin.y, Birdie.frame.size.width, Birdie.frame.size.height)];
        //have you added Birdie over theimageView if not than do this. If your size is already set as you want then there is no need for above two lines of drawInRect.
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(theimageView.bounds.size);
        [self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
    	
        UIImage *resultingImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    	
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    	
        return resultingImage;
    }

Thanks in advanced!

- (UIImage*) addImageToImage:(UIImage*)img:(UIImage*)img2{
   CGSize size = CGSizeMake(img.size.height, img.size.width);
   UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size);

   CGPoint pointImg1 = CGPointMake(0,0);
   [img drawAtPoint:pointImg1 ];

   CGPoint pointImage2 = CGPointMake(0, 0);
   [img2 drawAtPoint:pointImage2 ];

   UIImage* result = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
   UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

   return result;
}

UIImage *complete = [self addImageToImage:myImage1:myImage2];

Thanks for the answer, but I can't seem to get it to work.

I've also changed my saving code from:

//save actual design in photo library
- (void)captureScreen {
    UIImage *myImage = [self addImage:theImageView ToImage:Birdie];
    [myImage retain];
    UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(myImage, self, @selector(imageSavedToPhotosAlbum:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:), self); 
}

I've changed the rest of the code to:

- (UIImage*) addImage:(UIImage*)theimageView toImage:(UIImage*)Birdie{
   CGSize size = CGSizeMake(theimageView.size.height, theimageView.size.width);
   UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size);

   CGPoint pointImg1 = CGPointMake(0,0);
   [theimageView drawAtPoint:pointImg1 ];

   CGPoint pointImage2 = CGPointMake(0, 0);
   [Birdie drawAtPoint:pointImage2 ];

   UIImage* result = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
   UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

   return result;
}

I've changed the first line (addImagetoImage) to addImage:.. toImage...

Thanks in advanced!

Can someone help me with this code?

[Sketchiie]

Please, I really need some help.

[dany_dev]

for me work, what I obtain is the background image img as background and img2 over that.

Hi sir here also same problem.i have selected the one image from albums or take picture from cam and editing the selected image with another image with touches/zooming/scaling and save the same as editing image....how can solve.please sir help me

-(IBaction)done
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(imageView.image.size);

CGRect rect1 = CGRectMake(0,0
maskimage.image.size.width , maskimage.image.size.height);
NSLog(@"net translation are %f,%f",netTranslation.x/translation.x,netTranslation.y/translation.y);

CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0,0, imageView.image.size.width, imageView.image.size.height);

[imageView.image drawInRect:rect];
[maskimage.image drawInRect:rect1];

UIImage *resultingImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

[editingimage setImage:resultingImage];
[editingimage setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1, 1)];
[myview addSubview:editingimage];
[self.view addSubview:myview];
}

Thanking you sir
