I want to load images from UIImagePickerController, then save the selected photo to my app's document directory. UIImage *image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage]; NSData *data1 = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image); NSString *fileName = "1.png"; NSString *path = //get Document path, then add fileName BOOL succ = [data1 writeToFile:path atomically:YES]; but after I save the image to my document, I found that, the image was rotated 90 degree, then I change the method UIImagePNGRepresentation to UIImageJPEGRepresentation, this time it's fine, anyone know what's the problem?
