Captured UIView image has distorted colors (iPhone SDK)

Answer 1

Just checked my own code that is doing the same thing you are. Yours is nearly identical to mine, except that I am asking the view's layer to render instead of the window's, i.e.:

[self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];

I don't know why that would make a difference, but it's worth a try.

Answer 2

Solved it by using the just-approved private function UIGetScreenImage().

UIGetScreenImage() is quite annoying when you just want to capture a view. I found a nice trick, just re-save all your PNG images into TIFF format using Preview.app :)
