iOS – UIImageView – how to handle UIImage image orientation

If I understand, what you want to do is disregard the orientation of the UIImage? If so then you could do this:

UIImage *originalImage = [... whatever ...];

UIImage *imageToDisplay =
     [UIImage imageWithCGImage:[originalImage CGImage]
              scale:[originalImage scale]
              orientation: UIImageOrientationUp];

So you’re creating a new UIImage with the same pixel data as the original (referenced via its CGImage property) but you’re specifying an orientation that doesn’t rotate the data.
