High Memory usage when cropping Panorama [IOS 7.1.1 multiple devices]

[ataranlen]

I'm just running the example application included in the project. When selecting a panorama in the Apple's Default Cropper, Memory usage is 15.5 MB. When using the Custom Cropper, it jumps to 88.6. This is using a 7.4 MB JPG, 8208 x 2332 image. I've done a lot of testing with other panoramas as well, it gets worse the larger the image is.

Within the context of another app, this is causing memory warnings, and in some cases, crashing the app.

Default:

Custom Crop:

VM Allocations is pointing to ImageIO as the culprit, but I haven't found a potential solution.

Hey did you find any solution?

No, I still do not have a solution for this problem.
