Creating UIImage with renderingMode in Swift

Question

In objectiveC I would do this

UIImage *image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"myImage.png"]   imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]; 

but in Swift I have tried all alternatives like this, without success

var image : UIImage = UIImage(named:"myImage.png").imageWithRenderingMode(renderingMode: AlwaysOriginal) 

It shows an error: use of unresolved identifier 'AlwaysOriginal'

How do I do that?

Answer 1

that would be the proper syntax:

---

(for Swift 3.x or Swift 4)

var image: UIImage? = UIImage(named:"myImage")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal) 

---

(for Swift 2.x)

var image: UIImage? = UIImage(named:"myImage.png").imageWithRenderingMode(UIImageRenderingMode.AlwaysOriginal) 

but you can use this 'shortcut' as well:

var image: UIImage? = UIImage(named:"myImage.png").imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysOriginal)
