ios: change the colors of a UIImage
Set the Image rendering mode then for color purpose use tintcolor property.
yourImageView.image = [image imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate]; [yourImageView setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
The easiest and shortest:
Way to do that in case when you dealing with UIImageView:
Obj-C:
theImageView.image = [theImageView.image imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate];
[theImageView setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
Swift:
let theImageView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named:"foo")!.imageWithRenderingMode(UIImageRenderingMode.AlwaysTemplate))
theImageView.tintColor = UIColor.redColor()
hi you want to change remove/ one specific color means use the below category....
.h file:

+(UIImage *)changeWhiteColorTransparent: (UIImage *)image;
+(UIImage *)changeColorTo:(NSMutableArray*) array Transparent: (UIImage *)image;
//resizing Stuff...
+ (UIImage *)imageWithImage:(UIImage *)image scaledToSize:(CGSize)newSize;
@end

i changed the removed white color to transparent by this code....
the call will be...
self.rawImage.image=[UIImage changeWhiteColorTransparent:originalStateImage];
i hope this idea will help you....
hi use this category file to change the image entire color....
.h file:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface UIImage (AddtionalFunctionalities)
//TintColor...
- (UIImage *)imageWithTint:(UIColor *)tintColor;
//scale and resize...
-(UIImage*)scaleToSize:(CGSize)size;
@end
.m file:
#import "UIImage+AddtionalFunctionalities.h"
@implementation UIImage (AddtionalFunctionalities)
- (UIImage *)imageWithTint:(UIColor *)tintColor
{
// Begin drawing
CGRect aRect = CGRectMake(0.f, 0.f, self.size.width, self.size.height);
CGImageRef alphaMask;
//
// Compute mask flipping image
//
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(aRect.size);
CGContextRef c = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
// draw image
CGContextTranslateCTM(c, 0, aRect.size.height);
CGContextScaleCTM(c, 1.0, -1.0);
[self drawInRect: aRect];
alphaMask = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(c);
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
}
//
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(aRect.size);
// Get the graphic context
CGContextRef c = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
// Draw the image
[self drawInRect:aRect];
// Mask
CGContextClipToMask(c, aRect, alphaMask);
// Set the fill color space
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
CGContextSetFillColorSpace(c, colorSpace);
// Set the fill color
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(c, tintColor.CGColor);
UIRectFillUsingBlendMode(aRect, kCGBlendModeNormal);
UIImage *img = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
// Release memory
CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
CGImageRelease(alphaMask);
return img;
}
-(UIImage*)scaleToSize:(CGSize)size
{
// Create a bitmap graphics context
// This will also set it as the current context
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size);
// Draw the scaled image in the current context
[self drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height)];
// Create a new image from current context
UIImage* scaledImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
// Pop the current context from the stack
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
// Return our new scaled image
return scaledImage;
}
@end
the method call will be :
self.outputImage.image=[sourceImage imageWithTint:[UIColor redColor]];
if u want to use the image means use this:
self.outputImage.image=[sourceImage imageWithTint:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed: @"red.jpg"]]];
i hope this will help you...
