You can get first the color space through CGImage.
@property(nonatomic, readonly) CGImageRef CGImage
CGColorSpaceRef CGImageGetColorSpace (
CGImageRef image
);
And depping of the colorSpace apply a format conversion. So to get the color space of an image, you'd do:
CGColorSpaceRef colorspace = CGImageGetColorSpace([myUIImage CGImage]);
Note: make sure to follow the get/create/copy rules for CG objects.
Color conversion to RGB8 (also can be applied to RGB16 or RGB32, changing the bits per component in the method newBitmapRGBA8ContextFromImage):
// Create a bitmap
unsigned char *bitmap = [ImageHelper convertUIImageToBitmapRGBA8:image];
// Create a UIImage using the bitmap
UIImage *imageCopy = [ImageHelper convertBitmapRGBA8ToUIImage:bitmap withWidth:width withHeight:height];
// Display the image copy on the GUI
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:imageCopy];

But I'm still unable to apply those settings automatically to all my pictures.
