Image from UIImagePickerController to UIImage image= - ios

Question

Trying to load a camera/album photo into a 'add border' loop, but can't get it to work.
The app basically takes a photo or picks one from album, then allows the user to choose between 4 different borders but as the user switches borders it doesn't revert back to the original photo it just layers the borders on top.
I've tried using
UIImage *image = [info valueForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
But it doesn't like 'info'
Code below.
// ABViewController.m
#import "ABViewController.h"
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
#interface ABViewController ()
#property (nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *imageView;
#property (nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *border1;
#property (nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *border2;
#property (nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *border3;
#property (nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *border4;
#end
#implementation ABViewController
#synthesize imageView;
#synthesize border1, border2, border3, border4;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
border1.tag =1;
border2.tag =2;
border3.tag =3;
border4.tag =4;
imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"a7qIB4OiXsz5Q0BG4ipZV0FLF5_jB71p24h7Oa2ExYU.jpg"];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
//Border code
- (IBAction)borderButtonTapped:(UIButton *)sender {
UIImage* image=(UIImage*)[#"UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage"];
UIImage *borderImage = [UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"borderImage%i.png", sender.tag]];
NSData *dataFromImage = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(imageView.image, 1);
CIImage *beginImage= [CIImage imageWithData:dataFromImage];
CIContext *context = [CIContext contextWithOptions:nil];
CIImage *border =[CIImage imageWithData:UIImagePNGRepresentation(borderImage)];
CIFilter *filter= [CIFilter filterWithName:#"CISourceOverCompositing"]; //#"CISoftLightBlendMode"];
[filter setDefaults];
[filter setValue:border forKey:#"inputImage"];
[filter setValue:beginImage forKey:#"inputBackgroundImage"];
CIImage *outputImage = [filter valueForKey:#"outputImage"];
CGImageRef cgimg = [context createCGImage:outputImage fromRect:[outputImage extent]];
UIImage *newImg = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cgimg];
imageView.image = newImg;
}
// Camera CODE
- (IBAction)TakePhoto {
picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.delegate = self;
[picker setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
[picker setShowsCameraControls:YES];
[picker setAllowsEditing:YES];
[self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:NULL];
[picker release];
}
- (IBAction)ChooseExisting {
picker2 = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker2.delegate = self;
[picker2 setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary];
[picker2 setAllowsEditing:YES];
[self presentViewController:picker2 animated:YES completion:NULL];
[picker2 release];
}
- (void) imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
[imageView setImage:image];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
- (void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
#end

Answer 1

Try the following...
Create a NSDictionary reference to hold onto the info:
#implementation ABViewController{
NSDictionary *imageInfo;
}
In the imagePickerController: didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: method add:
imageInfo = info;
In the borderButtonTapped method, replace:
UIImage* image=(UIImage*)[#"UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage"];
with:
UIImage *image = [imageInfo valueForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
Edit:
and change:
NSData *dataFromImage = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(imageView.image, 1);
to:
NSData *dataFromImage = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1);
