## What it is
PhotoTweaks is an Objective-C iOS library that provides a view controller for cropping photos with drag, rotate, and scale gestures, mimicking the iOS 8 Photos.app interaction. It integrates with UIImagePickerController and returns the cropped UIImage via a delegate callback.

## Use cases
- crop photos picked with UIImagePickerController
- let users drag, rotate and scale an image before cropping
- add a Photos.app-style crop interface to an iOS app
- limit the maximum rotation angle when editing photos
- automatically save cropped images to the photo library

## When to choose
- you are building an Objective-C or Swift iOS app that needs interactive photo cropping
- you want a lightweight CocoaPods drop-in crop view controller instead of building gesture handling yourself
- you want the familiar iOS 8 Photos.app crop interaction

## When to avoid
- you need a modern SwiftUI or cross-platform image editor
- you need advanced editing features like filters, annotations, or aspect-ratio presets
- you are not targeting iOS
