Image Scaling – The Simple Way
 Let the storyboard do most of the work

Layout detail view controller




Top level view has UIToolbar and UIScrollView
UIScrollView has UIImageView
Set scroll view’s min and max zoom levels
Set UIImageView’s mode to “Aspect Fit”

Top level and scroll views set to “Scale to Fit” (default)
 Code in PhotoScrollViewController


Let setPhoto handle all image loading activity
In main queue portion of setPhoto add:


self.photoScrollView.contentSize=image.size;
self.photoScrollView.zoomScale = 1.0;
