Actually we are just looking for the fastest way of creating a 72 dpi image (thumbnail) of our original 400 dpi image. It seemed that CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex was the fastest way to do this.

I am not expecting an image larger than the original but the docs say that it could be as large as the image itself if you don't pass kCGImageSourceThumbnailMaxPixelSize as a key, which is not the case.

What i noticed now is if i do pass kCGImageSourceThumbnailMaxPixelSize and give it a value larger than the original image, my thumbnail is the size of the image itself, if you don't pass it, it maxes out at 5000 pixels.

Perhaps there are other solutions to our goal but i think they will be slower.

Kind regards,
Florian.

The documentation says that if you do not specify kCGImageSourceThumbnailMaxPixelSize the width and height of a thumbnail is not limited and thumbnails may be as big as the image itself.

In our case the outcoming image is always 5000 pixels wide, even though the original width was over 5000 pixels.
Anyone has any clue on this, i googled but found nothing relevant?


I would say that this level of behavior is undefined, if your looking for a thumbnail, then your implying to the API that you are expecting an image no larger than the original - which is what you are getting. Could you better explain what you are trying to do?
