How to add graphics on top of camera view?

Hi,
I've tried some examples adding camera functionality in an app but i wonder if it is possible to add graphics on top of the camera view when shooting photos?
If it is, will it be possible to save the photos with the graphics on top?
Any hints on tutorials or examples covering this is highly appreciated!

Cheers!

Yes. You can set the overlay view. You have the details in the UIImagePickerController class reference in the documentation. But the overlay is just for presentation. After the image is captured you'll need to composite the captured image with whatever you had in the overlay.

Ok - thanks! I'll dig into that and give it a try. Sounds fun!
