I am just using AssetsLibrary Framework to load images from Photos.
[UIImage imageWithCGImage:[asset defaultRepresentation].fullScreenImage scale:1.0 orientation:(UIImageOrientation)[asset defaultRepresentation].orientation];
It will take about 0.5~0.6 second to get one photo. And the photo is not that large (for about 700*900).
Am I using the method in a wrong way? And can it be optimized? (I want the photo of this size, do not want the thumbnail)
Many thanks!
you are using the method correctly. An idea to optimize the user-experience:
=> Load the thumbnail image first (best with dispatch_async) - that should be really quick. When this has completed, load the fullscreen image like you did above.
This is what apple does in the Photo App to provide a smooth user experience.
Cheers,
