Tint a UIImage like with a UIBarButtonItem

Apologies if this is obvious, but why can I not tint an image within a UIImageView like I can tint an image as a UIBarButtonItem?

Thanks

You can in fact tint an image in a UIImageView.

Make sure that the tintColor-property of your UIImageView is set to the color your want, and then make sure that your UIImage has the correct rendering mode. UIImageRenderingModeAutomatic should work - but to force it to tint you can use UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate.

You can change the rendering mode of an existing image like this:

UIImage *myImage = ...
myImage = [myImage imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate];
myImageView.image = myImage;

Please refer to the Apple Documentation on template images for more detailed information.
