Hi,

I'm getting an “EXC_BAD_ACCESS” but just can't work out why, any help would be massive - thank you in advance.

The user takes a picture and I want to do some processing on it in another thread...

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{

...

NSString *uid = [Asset stringWithUUID];

[_imageQueue setObject:img forKey:uid];

[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(createAssetAsyncWithImage:) 
                toTarget:self 
              withObject:uid];
}

Then the new thread

-(void) createAssetAsyncWithImage:(NSString *)uid {

 NSAutoreleasePool * pool =[[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

 if ([_imageQueue objectForKey:uid]) {
 Asset *asset = [Asset createAssetWithImage:[_imageQueue objectForKey:uid]];

 asset.uid = uid;

 [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(asyncAssetCreated:)
         withObject:asset 
      waitUntilDone:YES];

 }

 [pool release];
}

Which calls

    +(Asset *)createAssetWithImage:(UIImage *)img
    { 
   ....

     UIImage *masterImg = [GraphicSupport createThumbnailFromImage:img pixels:img.size.height/2];
    ....

     return newAsset;
    }

And then this is where I keep getting the BAD_ACCESS

+(UIImage *)createThumbnailFromImage:(UIImage *)inImage pixels:(float)pixels{

 CGSize size = image.size;
 CGFloat ratio = 0;

 if (size.width > size.height) {

  ratio = pixels / size.width;
 }
 else {
  ratio = pixels / size.height;
 }

 CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, ratio * size.width, ratio * size.height);

 UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rect.size);

 //NSAssert(image,@"image NULL");

 [image drawInRect:rect];

 return UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext(); 
}

It's image that is giving me all the complaints...

What am I doing wrong??

Many thanks in advance
