## Discussion

Use this property to display the unedited Live Photo’s photo content, or to provide still-image previews in your editing UI.

> Note:
> For the best interactive editing performance, use a Metal, OpenGL, or OpenGL ES view and corresponding Core Image context to render editing results. See [Processing Images](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/CoreImaging/ci_tasks/ci_tasks.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30001185-CH3) in [Core Image Programming Guide](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/CoreImaging/ci_intro/ci_intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30001185) for details and examples.

This image does not reflect the Live Photo’s orientation metadata. Adjust your rendering based on the [`orientation`](/documentation/Photos/PHLivePhotoEditingContext/orientation) property to ensure that the image appears to the user in the correct orientation.
