Edit image after taking a picture

Question

I\'m currently making an iphone app where the user takes a photo or select it from an album, then an overlay is placed over the image. The user can then scale, rotate and save t

Answer 1

there's a way don't change your code much:

- (IBAction)takePicture:(id)sender {
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]) {
    [imagePicker setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
} else {
    [imagePicker setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary];
}

[imagePicker setAllowsEditing:YES];
[imagePicker setDelegate:self];

//place image picker on the screen
[self presentViewController:imagePicker animated:YES completion:nil];
}

If you want to use the image that after editing, please change "UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage" to "UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage", that's it!

For Q1, is it possible to implement an action sheet, so that the user can choose to use the photo from an album or take a new pic.? with the action sheet function as something like the following:

-(void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
    if (buttonIndex == 0) {
        picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc]init];
        picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
        picker.delegate = self;
        [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
        [picker release];
    }

    else if (buttonIndex == 1) {
        if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]) {
            picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc]init];
            picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
            picker.allowsEditing = YES;
            picker.delegate = self;
            [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
            [picker release];
        }
        else {
            UIAlertView *noCameraMsg = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"no camera on this phone" message:@"" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
            [noCameraMsg show];
            [noCameraMsg release];

        }


}
