This will allow you to take a screenshot of a UIView, but more importantly only a section of that view

THANK YOU NITRAG!
One correction for taking image over subview is to adjust the origin point too:
rect.origin.x = subview.frame.origin.x * image.scale rect.origin.y = subview.frame.origin.y * image.scale
