that helped so much thank you. One small problem now. everytime i click the button to save my image, it saves which is great but when i try to do anything else after that, the app crashes.

- (IBAction)saveImage {
      UIImage *image = imageView.image;

      UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Image" message:@"Image" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
      [alert show];
      [alert release];

      UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, self, @selector(image:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:), NULL);
}

- (void)image:(UIImage *) image didFinishSavingWithError: (NSError *) error contextInfo: (void *) contextInfo {
      NSLog(@"SAVE IMAGE COMPLETE");
      if(error != nil) {
            NSLog(@"ERROR SAVING:%@",[error localizedDescription]);
      }
      [image autorelease];
}

Maybe, because of that line: [image autorelease];

try to cmment it. If it does not help, comment the alert (all lthree lines about the alert).
