Im trying to get a full sized image from the photo library using UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage. the returned UIImage size is 750 x 1001, but when i extract the image using Image Capture, it is actually 3264 x 2448, how can I get the real original image?

When you initialize the UIImagePickerController make sure to set allowsEditing property to NO, which would allow you to get the full-sized original image.

For an example, if you use:

self.imagePickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
self.imagePickerController.delegate = self;
self.imagePickerController.allowsEditing = YES;

the resulting image you get in - (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info from info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] will have it's size less than the actual original, like it's happening to you.

But if you set self.imagePickerController.allowsEditing = NO;, UIImage from info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] will be the exact same size as it's in the library.
