Know of any iOS/OS X Photo Frameworks

Im working on an iPhone app and would like to add a photo element to it. The features Im looking for are:

I know there are a lot of great frameworks out there for iOS/OS X so I was hoping someone knew of one that could accomplish the above.

Also I was wondering if it would be a better idea to have a framework for the photography features and a fuller networking framework for uploads and downloads? Im leaning towards two because Im familiar with MKNetworkKit : https://github.com/MugunthKumar/MKNetworkKit

I just thought of another thing. I need to set up a server with an API so I can send and receive photos and data. Does anyone know of any frameworks/libraries/toolkits that would help me set up the server for uploading/downloading photos and data?

I dont want to program from scratch what I dont have to. Why reinvent the wheel when I can give it chrome plating and spinners :)

I've used MWPhotoBrowser for generating gallery views before, but it's not been updated for a little while, and it doesn't cover everything you want out of the box. You'll probably be best served by splitting it into multiple libraries to cover the necessary functionality, and adapting them as needed.

In terms of the backend server you'd probably get quite far with Rails and the Paperclip gem. I set up a basic image and data serving API in about half a day with the two, and there's a fair amount of tutorials showing how to do it with the Rails scaffolding commands. To get you started a video of how to build a RESTful API in Rails and a railscast on Paperclip.
