I have read that it is automatic but it doesn't appear to be happening in my case. Using UIImagePickerController with allowsEditing set to YES I get my editing view with the crop square overlay, but when i am finished with the image its not cropped as I expect.
Should it be automatic at this stage? If not, what might be a good solution to crop the image in the matching area that the default view provides?
Thanks.
You are probably using the wrong key for the info dictionary: UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage
.
To get the cropped (yes, it is automatic) image you have to use UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage
key.
This should do the trick:
-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
UIImage *pickedImageEdited = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
//dismiss the picker and process the image...
}
