I hadn't seen CIFilter, no, that might have been a good avenue to explore however I think that's not available on the phone (and this is for the phone even though I didn't explicitly state that earlier, apologies). So I'll have to use something a bit more primitive.

I think perhaps a bitmap context is what I may want

CIFilter would be ideal, I think, but if you need to work on an environment without it then I think BravoBug Software (whoever that is) was right; you want to grab the data with the -bitmapData method and manipulate it directly yourself.

Of course, that means that you must support any pixel format (and endianness) issues that result, but it does mean you can do what you please with the data.

Using a bitmap context IMO is a red herring... I don't see how it helps you to do what you need, and even if you were to misuse such a thing (e.g. drawing rectangles to fill individual pixels), it'd be horribly slow by comparison to direct image manipulation I think.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
