Saving an image from imagePicker

[InspiroSW]

I'm having a few troubles saving an image into a String, I've brought up the imagePicker correctly with no issues, but then saving the image is a problem, here's what I've got so far;

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingImage:(UIImage *)image editingInfo:(NSDictionary *)editingInfo {
	[picker.parentViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
	myBackground.image = image;
	
	myString = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:image];
	myBackground.image = [UIImage imageNamed:myString];
	
	NSUserDefaults *stringDefault = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
	[stringDefault setObject:myString forKey:@"stringKey"];

But this throws some errors on the following line

myString = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:image];

Which are:
warning: incompatible Objective-C types 'struct UIImage *', expected 'struct NSString *' when passing argument 1 of 'initWithString:' from distinct Objective-C type

Could someone help me out here?

Why are u saving an image as string? That will not work.
