I've looked around everywhere to no avail. I'm doing some image loading in a thread and since UIKit is not thread safe I'm going to have to store the images as CGImageRefs but I can't figure out how to do this. I haven't played with any of the Quartz stuff before so it's confusing me. Basically I just need to load a JPG from the disk into a CGImageRef. Also for bonus points, is there anyway to load a GIF into a CGImageRef?
