Hi Coronas,

I am not sure, whether this is really a bug or a bit of quirkiness in my head today...

When loading an image from the camera-roll, the with is reduced to 1024 px. That is ok, I understand this as a "feature" of iOS and the iPhone 4. But try this example with the image below. The image will be cropped to the bottom right quarter, and will be saved in 1/4th of the original size.

I talked about this issue here: http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2011/06/12/image-camera-roll-physcis#comment-40428

function onComplete2 ( event )
  if (event.target ~= nil) then
-- this will save only 1/4th of the original image (the bottom right quarter?) of the original image
    display.save(event.target,"temp.jpg", system.TemporaryDirectory )
    local head = display.newImageRect("temp.jpg", system.TemporaryDirectory, 120, 120)
    head.x = 120
    head.y = 120        
    print (event.target.width)
    print (head.width)
  end
end
 
media.show( media.Camera, onComplete2 )

Please tell me, it's a bug, not my coding skills...
Thanks!
