Don't forget to add scale parameter otherwise you will get low resolution image

CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect([uncroppedImage CGImage], CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 120));
[imageView setImage:[UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef scale:[[UIScreen mainScreen] scale] orientation:UIImageOrientationUp]];
CGImageRelease(imageRef);
