See author post for explanation: http://vocaro.com/trevor/blog/2009/10/12/resize-a-uiimage-the-right-way/
It provides:
Extends the UIImage class to support resizing (optionally preserving the original aspect ratio), cropping, and generating thumbnails. (iPhone 4 retina display support added in this branch)
Extends the UIImage class to support adding rounded corners to an image.
Extends the UIImage class with helper methods for working with alpha layers (transparencies).
