I have a 3х3 Matrix which I need to apply to UIImage and save it in Documents folder. I successfully converted the 3x3 Matrix (represented as [[Double]]) to CATrasform3D and then I have broken my head with trying to figure out how to apply it to UIImage. The only property where I can I apply it is UIView(or UIImageView in case with working with UIImage) transform property. But it has nothing to do with UIImage itself. I can't save the UIImage from transformed the UIImageView with all the transformations. And all the CoreGraphic methods (like concatenate for CGContext) only work with affine transformations which not suits for me. Please give me a hint what direction I should look. Does Apple has native methods or I have to use 3rd party frameworks for this functionality?

Does anyone know why the following call fails? CGPDFOperatorTableSetCallback(operatorTable, "ID", &callback); The PDF specification seems to indicate that ID is an operator? BTW what is the proper topic/subtopic for questions about Quartz? Wasn't sure what topic on the new forums to post this under.

The guide on how to make a QC composition a standalone app assumes I use an earlier version of Xcode (and retired). And Xcode, of course, has changed a lot since the past decade and the guides basically can't be used anymore.

Hi Team, some of our users are getting crash in QuartzCore. But we are not sure the exact reason for it. Can you please help us in it? App is crashing in production.

I am trying to generate a PDF file with certain components draw with Spot Colours. Spot colours are used for printing and I am not clear on how one would do that but I think that if I can create a custom ColorSpace with a specific name or a color that has a specific name - our printer looks for the name Spot1 and they use the colour green. Can anyone shed any light on how I might be able to do this. For reference I have attached two pdf files with two different spot colours in them. I need to be able to create similar using CGContext and CGPDFDocument. I can already generate the PDF documents using CMYK colors but don't know how I can create the equivalent "spot" colors. At the moment I am loading the page from these attached pdf files and scaling them to fill the page to get a background with the spot color. This works fine but I also need to generate text and lines using this same spot color and I am not clear how I could do that using the Core Graphics APIs. My guess is I need to create a custom ColorSpace with a single color and then use that color for drawing with. The only 'custom' option for creating a ColorSpace seems to be the CGColorSpace(propertyListPList:) constructor, however there does not appear to be any documentation on what needs to be in the property list to do so. Nor can I find any examples of that. Any pointers would be appreciated. Regards

I really love Quartz Composer from Apple which is a quite old app, not updated for years. It works well on my 2015 mid MacBook Pro, but not on new M1 iMac. Does anyone know how to run this great app on my new machine? Thank you!
