I am just using AssetsLibrary Framework to load images from Photos.
[UIImage imageWithCGImage:[asset defaultRepresentation].fullScreenImage scale:1.0 orientation:(UIImageOrientation)[asset defaultRepresentation].orientation];
It will take about 0.5~0.6 second to get one photo. And the photo is not that large (for about 700*900).
Am I using the method in a wrong way? And can it be optimized? (I want the photo of this size, do not want the thumbnail)
Many thanks!
