Objective C: How to create border effect around photos

Question

Can anyone advise me on how I can create a border around photos (like what you see in the screen shot below)? It seems like there is a thin grey border and a drop shadow at the back.

Appreciate any advise here.

Answer 1

Simple way: wrap the photo into a UIImageView, setup the borderColor, cornerRadius, shadowColor, shadowOffset, shadowPath etc. for the layer of the UIImageView.

Complex way: subclass the UIView and draw the border and shadow by yourself in -drawRect:.
