To read an image from file you can use CGImageSourceCreateWithURL() which will give you CGImageRefs. You can get the image data via CGImageGetDataProvider(). If you need to convert to another data format, use a CGBitmapContext. UIImageJPEGRepresentation() can be used to get the JPEG data from a UIImage/CGImageRef.

convert jpec image to byte array

Hi,
Thanks for your reply....

At present we are reading an image from resource file.We r using the following code

CGRect myImageRect = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 300.0f, 250.0f);
	UIImageView *imageview = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:myImageRect];
	[imageview setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image1.jpg"]];
	imageview.opaque = YES; // explicitly opaque for performance
	[self.view addSubview:imageview];

Now we can display the image.But we want convert that image to Byte array.Then again convert Byte array to Image.Then finally to display that image.Actually i am new in iPhone developing.i tried.But i didn't get.i hope u will give better idea regarding this...

Thanks
