Question

Here is the deal, I have tried using both of the methods shown below to save an image to the photo library. Upon saving the image successfully and launching the Photos App to take a look at the image, the app automatically scales/resizes the image to full screen.

Is there any way to prevent this? It is annoying because to see the whole image the user needs to pinch the image out to show the whole thing. I have noticed a few of the more popular camera apps do not have this issue when saving to the photo library. I am curious what method they are using.

//Save to Photo Library;
ALAssetsLibrary* library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
//CIImage *ciImage = image.CIImage;
[library writeImageToSavedPhotosAlbum:finalImage.CGImage
                          orientation:ALAssetOrientationUp
                      completionBlock:^(NSURL *assetURL, NSError *error) {
                          NSlog(@"Done");
                      }];

Save to Photo Library;
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(savedPhoto,nil,nil,nil);

Thank you for your help!

After doing a bit of research there is no solution to this problem. The photos app automatically scales up the image to fill the screen.

Thanks for all of the responses.
