That should at least mostly work. I might have some concern for effects that should read outside of the clipping region (antialiasing for example), but that may not be an issue. You’d notice immediately if it was.

As far as slicing, if CGBitmapContextCreate doesn’t let you use columns & rows, it should at least let you use rows, although I would have expected columns & rows to work.
