Crop Image using CGRect - ios

Question

I have been trying to do this since forever. I have a camera overlay. I want to get my final image to be the part of the image viewable from the in-built camera.
What I did was make CGRect with dimensions equal to the square in the camera. Then I tried cropping it using this function.
- (UIImage *)imageByCropping:(UIImage *)imageToCrop toRect:(CGRect)rect
{
CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect([imageToCrop CGImage], rect);
UIImage *croppedImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef];
CGImageRelease(imageRef);
return croppedImage;
}
I called it like this
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(10, 72, 300, 300);
UIImage *realImage = [self imageByCropping:[self.capturedImages objectAtIndex:0] toRect:rect];
What I get is a bad quality image with the wrong orientation.
::EDIT::
With Nitin's answer I can crop the correct part of the screen but the problem is it crops the view that follows the camera view, 'the confirmation view'. I suspect this is because Nitin's code uses
UIImage *screenshot = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
and because the ViewController in which all this is happening because the View Controller for the Confirmation View is the Controller in which this code is being executed. I will try to explain this with a small map
CameraOverlay.xib(it uses this xib to create an overlay) <===== CameraOverlayViewController ---------> ConfirmationView
So when first the ViewController is evoked(button on Tab bar), it opens the camera(UIImagePickerController) with an overlay over it. Then once user clicks an image, the image is shown on the ConfirmationView.
What I think is happening is when
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.view.frame.size, YES, 1.0);
[self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *screenshot = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
these lines are being executed, the View at that time is ConfirmationView.
Note: I call the function in
(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info method.

Refer Drawing and printing Guide.
The default coordinate system is different between CoreGraphics and UIKit. I think your issue is because of this fact.
Using these may help you solve the issue
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextTranslateCTM(context , 0.0, rect.size.height);
CGContextScaleCTM(context , 1.0, -1.0);
