I'd like to put an image stored in a JPEG file onto a CALayer. It seems that I do this by assigning a CGImageRef to its contents property. But how do I get a CGImageRef from a file? Do I make an NSData object from the file and do something with that?

You use ImageIO Framework. See CGImageSource reference.


Specifically, you would do something like this:

NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForImageResource:@"myImage"]];
CGImageSourceRef source = CGImageSourceCreateWithURL((CFURLRef)url, NULL);
CGImageRef image = CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex(source, 0, NULL);
CFRelease(source);


Do what you will with 'image' and release it when your done.
