Existing implementation of cropImage:to:andScaleTo: and straightenAndScaleImage()?

Question

I'm writing code to use UIImagePickerController. Corey previously posted some nice sample code on SO related to cropping and scaling. However, it doesn't have implementations of cropImage:to:andScaleTo: nor straightenAndScaleImage().

Here's how they're used:

newImage =  [self cropImage:originalImage to:croppingRect andScaleTo:scaledImageSize];
...
UIImage *rotatedImage = straightenAndScaleImage([editInfo objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage], scaleSize);

Since I'm sure someone must be using something very similar to Corey's sample code, there's probably an existing implementation of these two functions. Would someone like to share?

If you check the post you linked to, you'll see a link to the apple dev forums where I got some of this code, here are the methods you are asking about. Note: I may have made some changes relating to data types, but I can't quite remember. It should be trivial for you to adjust if needed.

- (UIImage *)cropImage:(UIImage *)image to:(CGRect)cropRect andScaleTo:(CGSize)size {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size);
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGImageRef subImage = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect([image CGImage], cropRect);
CGRect myRect = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, size.width, size.height);
CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0f, -1.0f);
CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0.0f, -size.height);
CGContextDrawImage(context, myRect, subImage);
UIImage* croppedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
CGImageRelease(subImage);
return croppedImage;

}

UIImage *straightenAndScaleImage(UIImage *image, int maxDimension) {

CGImageRef img = [image CGImage];
CGFloat width = CGImageGetWidth(img);
CGFloat height = CGImageGetHeight(img);
CGRect bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height);
CGSize size = bounds.size;
if (width > maxDimension || height > maxDimension) {
    CGFloat ratio = width/height;
    if (ratio > 1.0f) {
        size.width = maxDimension;
        size.height = size.width / ratio;
    }
    else {
        size.height = maxDimension;
        size.width = size.height * ratio;
    }
} 

CGFloat scale = size.width/width;
CGAffineTransform transform = orientationTransformForImage(image, &size);
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size);
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
// Flip 
UIImageOrientation orientation = [image imageOrientation];
if (orientation == UIImageOrientationRight || orientation == UIImageOrientationLeft) {

    CGContextScaleCTM(context, -scale, scale);
    CGContextTranslateCTM(context, -height, 0);
}else {
    CGContextScaleCTM(context, scale, -scale);
    CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, -height);
}
CGContextConcatCTM(context, transform);
CGContextDrawImage(context, bounds, img);
UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return newImage;

}
