How can i get UIImage from GPUImageView

Question

I am using GPUImageView library in my project where it is using GPUImageView and i have added filters like contrast and other image effects like sepia etc on that GPUImageView , everything is good but problem is now i want to convert that GPUImageVIew into UIImage so that i can extract the image out of that UIImage and post that image on Facebook , but i am not able to do that the image which is getting post on facebook is simple camera captured image without special effects which i added using GPUIMageView . How to achieve this . Please help me .Thanks in Advance ... Below is my code

    -(void) loadFilters
{
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        UIButton * button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
        [button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d.jpg", i + 1]] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        button.frame = CGRectMake(10+i*(60+10), 5.0f, 60.0f, 60.0f);
        button.layer.cornerRadius = 7.0f;

        //use bezier path instead of maskToBounds on button.layer
        UIBezierPath *bi = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:button.bounds
                                                 byRoundingCorners:UIRectCornerAllCorners
                                                       cornerRadii:CGSizeMake(7.0,7.0)];

        CAShapeLayer *maskLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
        maskLayer.frame = button.bounds;
        maskLayer.path = bi.CGPath;
        button.layer.mask = maskLayer;

        button.layer.borderWidth = 1;
        button.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor blackColor] CGColor];

        [button addTarget:self
                   action:@selector(filterClicked:)
         forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
        button.tag = i;
       // [button setTitle:@"*" forState:UIControlStateSelected];
        if(i == 0){
            [button setSelected:YES];
        }
        [self.filterScrollView addSubview:button];
    }
    [self.filterScrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(10 + 10*(60+10), 75.0)];
}
-(void) filterClicked:(UIButton *) sender

You can get the image by

UIImage *currentFilteredImage = [filter imageFromCurrentlyProcessedOutput];
