Swift UIImage extension for tinting images

UIImage+Tinting.swift

/**
Usage:

let originalImage = UIImage(named: "cat")
let tintedImage = originalImage.tintWithColor(UIColor(red: 0.9, green: 0.7, blue: 0.4, alpha: 1.0))

*/
extension UIImage {
  
  func tintWithColor(color:UIColor)->UIImage {
    
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.size)
    let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
  
    // flip the image
    CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0)
    CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0.0, -self.size.height)
    
    // multiply blend mode
    CGContextSetBlendMode(context, kCGBlendModeMultiply)
    
    let rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.size.width, self.size.height)
    CGContextClipToMask(context, rect, self.CGImage)
    color.setFill()
    CGContextFillRect(context, rect)
    
    // create uiimage
    let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    
    return newImage
    
  }
  
}

Omit self when you don't need it:

func setTint(_ color: UIColor) -> UIImage {

    defer { UIGraphicsEndImageContext() }

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, UIScreen.main.scale)
    guard let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() else { return self }

    // flip the image
    context.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
    context.translateBy(x: 0.0, y: -size.height)

    // multiply blend mode
    context.setBlendMode(.multiply)

    let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.width, height: size.height)
    context.clip(to: rect, mask: cgImage!)
    color.setFill()
    context.fill(rect)

    // create UIImage
    guard let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() else { return self }

    return newImage
}
