I am trying to process image using Core Image. I have created UIImage category to do it.
I have added QuartzCore and CoreImage frameworks to project, imported CoreImage/CoreImage.h and used this code:
CIImage *inputImage = self.CIImage;
CIFilter *exposureAdjustmentFilter = [CIFilter filterWithName:@"CIExposureAdjust"];
[exposureAdjustmentFilter setDefaults];
[exposureAdjustmentFilter setValue:inputImage forKey:@"inputImage"];
[exposureAdjustmentFilter setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:5.0f] forKey:@"inputEV"];
CIImage *outputImage = [exposureAdjustmentFilter valueForKey:@"outputImage"];
CIContext *myContext = [CIContext contextWithOptions:nil];
return [UIImage imageWithCGImage:[myContext createCGImage:outputImage fromRect:outputImage.extent]];
But I have got nil output image from the filter.
I have also tried to use CIHueAdjust with the same result.
Than you in advance
UPDATE: I have found solution. It was necessary to alloc new CIImage, not only pass reference to UIImage.CIImage this way:
CIImage *inputImage = [[CIImage alloc] initWithImage:self];
