I am working on an iOS project that lets the user import a custom photo from the camera or library. I can manage the import and naming the image. I know that the photos will have to be saved to documents. The imported images will be used on several cards and with different sizes. I have several questions that I can’t find answers.
1. Do I import the photo on each card, and resize dynamically on preOpenCard?
2. Will the imported photo be a reference to the saved photo?
3. Should I delete the photo from each card when going to a different card?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: iOS Imported Photos
Hi Dixie, how would that work if the original photo is the one that gets imported? I am guessing a copy of the photo would have to be saved somewhere. Would this be a case for using a substack?
Re: iOS Imported Photos
I am having a hard time with this. I am thinking about importing a copy to a card and then referencing to that instead of the original. If the photo is resized, will it degrade over time? If I don't save the new size and lock the new size (keep the original dimensions), it should be OK, right?
