uiimagepickercontrolleroriginalimage memory waring - ios

Question

I have a collection view (UICollectionViewController subclass) where I placed a UIBarButtonItem named "Take a photo". When I tap the bar button item my camera opens & I take a photo. In my project after "Use Photo" from camera it will move to a crop view controller where I crop the image after selecting the image from my crop view the image gets placed here in my collection view the current controller. In crop view I have two buttons use and cancel.My problem is when I take oddly 2,3 or 4 I receive a memory warning in console then the app crashes with a alert "application terminated due to memory pressure". I've been using this code, when I use UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage there is no issue instead if I use UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage I come across memory issue.
My problem is to provide a good quality image and this UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage provides a good quality than UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage.I have to get rid of this memory issue and so I used this line [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];but I couldn't able clear the memory warning.
- (IBAction)TakeaPhoto:(id)sender {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]setStatusBarHidden:FALSE withAnimation:NO];
gallery=0;
picker1 = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker1.delegate = self;
self.resizeableCropArea =YES;
self.cropSize=CGSizeMake(296, 350);
picker1.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
[self presentViewController:picker1 animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
UIImage *image = [info objectForKey:
UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
image_cap = [self imageTemp:image scaledToSize:CGSizeMake(320, 370)];
dataTemp = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image,0.0);
CropViewController *cropController = [[CropViewController alloc] init];
cropController.sourceImage = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
Original_img = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(cropController.sourceImage,0.0);
[original_image addObject:[UIImage imageWithData:Original_img]];
NSLog(#"source image=%#",cropController.sourceImage);
cropController.resizeableCropArea = self.resizeableCropArea;
cropController.cropSize = self.cropSize;
cropController.delegate = self;
Cancel_Image= cropController.sourceImage;
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
[self.navigationController
pushViewController:cropController animated:YES];
}

Maybe you should compress your JPEG images. For example if you need that your images have a size less than 70kb, you can use this code:
float compressionRate = 0.90; // Initial compression rate
float maxCompressionRate = 0.10; // Max compression rate
NSData *data = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(outputImage, compressionRate);
// Our limit of size is MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE (70000) and compressionRate is 0.03f
while ([data length] > MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE && compressionRate >= maxCompressionRate) {
compressionRate -= 0.03;
data = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(outputImage, compressionRate);
}
Note: you can edit MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE with you desired size in bytes.
