Can renderInContext: maintain corner radius and shadows?

Question

I have a custom UILabel with round corners and a drop shadow. I'm using the properties on CALayer to achieve this. Next, I'm trying to save this as a UIImage using renderInContext:. The round corners are maintained, but a black background appears and a loose the drop shadow.

Any thoughts on rendering the UILabel as an image but maintaining the shadow and rounded corners?

Here's the code I'm using to render the label:

UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(label.bounds.size, YES, 0);
[label.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

Answer 1

You can get rounded corners by changing the second argument to "NO" in UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions.
