The documentation for UIImage -scale says: "If you load an image from a file whose name includes the @2x modifier, the scale is set to 2.0. If the filename does not include the modifier but is in the PNG or JPEG format and has an associated DPI value, a corresponding scale factor is computed and reflected in this property. " So I would expect PNG images to retain their scale value when saved and loaded. If this does not work, there seems to be a bug somewhere. Ray, did you try to explicitly set the image's scale value before creating the PNG representation? Something like this: UIImage *newImage; NSData *imageData; UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSizeMake(44.0, 44.0)); [selectedImage drawInRect:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 44.0, 44.0)]; newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext(); UIGraphicsEndImageContext(); newImage.scale = 2.0; // <--- imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(newImage); Andreas _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
