Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have a weird issue...  I have an
image (a small thumbnail) included in the project AND as a file
in the documents directory (both files are IDENTICAL)... when I
load it into an image view using [UIImage imageNamed:xxx] it is
perfect however when I load it into an image using [UIImage
imageWithContentsOfFile:xxx] then it is really blocky....
Anyone have an idea why this would be... I repeat the images are
identical (so it is not a different format or resolution which
is the issue).  This is on the iPad, iOS 3.2  share|improve this
question This question is so old it's probably left the rest
home. But I just ran into what appears to be the same thing. In
my case it's nothing to do with scale factors, and everything to
do with imageWithContentsOfFile: returning a 34x34 image, even
though the source image is ten times that (and a different
aspect ratio). I'm smelling an iOS bug, but instead of hunting
it down I just worked around it. YMMV –  sobri Mar 8 '13 at
