Transferring Image Data From Camera View To Another View.

Hello! I'm trying to create different ways to transfer image data to another view. For example... I create a button that accesses the camera and the camera view pops up and the user can take a photo. After the photo is taken and you click "Use Photo" I want the photo come up on a different view so the user can edit, filters, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

implement prepare for segue to pass information between view controllers. You implement it in the view controller you want to pass the information from.

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{

    if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"usePhoto"])
    {
        UsePhotoViewController *viewController = (UsePhotoViewController *)segue.destinationViewController

        //Assuming you have already set a photo property in the current view controller, and have a photo property defined in your destination controller
        viewController.photo = self.photo;
    }
}

Assuming you are using storyboards, you would have to set up this "usePhoto" segue by control + clicking and dragging from your show photo button to the show photo view controller and setting the segue identifier to usePhoto.
