ios - Passing UIImage between ViewControllers -

in first view controller have uiimage property synthesized in implementation file. in second view controller pushed, create uiimage object there , @ same time set uiimage property first view controller. in end, dismiss second view controller. however, appears image not saved after viewcontroller dismissed. understanding since uiimage pointer, data passing reference , since controller dismissed, uiimage. correct , there better way accomplish task? reference, using arc.

in first view controller (firstvc),

@property (strong, nonatomic) uiimage *image; 

in second view controller,

[firstvc setimage:self.ivaruiimageview.image]; 

where ivaruiimageview defined as:

@property (strong, nonatomic) iboutlet uiimageview *ivaruiimageview; 

now lets in third view controller, have in viewdidload method:

imgview = [[uiimageview alloc] initwithimage:firstvc.image]; 

where imgview defined as:

@property (strong, nonatomic) iboutlet uiimageview *imgview; 

you want make sure uiimage retained first view controller, making property strong. if displaying in uiimageview have set uiimageview's image new image in order see change reflected in ui.
