A UIActivityViewController to share images while displaying them as a nice preview
PSActivityImageViewController
Overview
This view controller allows you to share an image the same way as a normal UIActivityViewController
would, with one bonus: The image is actually shown on top of the UIActivityViewController
with a nice blurred background.
You can add any items you want to share, but only the image is displayed.
