平滑地将渐变应用于 UIImage

我正在尝试使用 CoreGraphic 将渐变应用于 UIImage；然而，我得到的结果不是很好。我想在图像底部创建一个黑色到透明的渐变，以便为我放置一些文本创建对比度。然而，我能够实现的渐变与图像不能很好地融合；你可以清楚地看到中心的分离。我正在寻找的结果就像这个应用程序：http://capptivate.co/2014/02/17/yummly-3/ http://capptivate.co/2014/02/17/yummly-3/我应该如何应用渐变来实现这一目标？ （我必须将其应用于大量图像）。

我的结果：

这是我的代码：

func imageWithGradient(img:UIImage!) -> UIImage{

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(img.size)
    var context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()

    img.drawAtPoint(CGPointMake(0, 0))

    let colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB()
    let locations:[CGFloat] = [0.50, 1.0]
    //1 = opaque
    //0 = transparent
    let bottom = UIColor(red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0, alpha: 0.5).CGColor
    let top = UIColor(red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0, alpha: 0).CGColor

    let gradient = CGGradientCreateWithColors(colorSpace,
        [top, bottom], locations)


    let startPoint = CGPointMake(img.size.width/2, 0)
    let endPoint = CGPointMake(img.size.width/2, img.size.height)

    CGContextDrawLinearGradient(context, gradient, startPoint, endPoint, 0)

    let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()

    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    return image
}

SWIFT 3

func imageWithGradient(img:UIImage!) -> UIImage {

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(img.size)
    let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()

    img.draw(at: CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0))

    let colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB()
    let locations:[CGFloat] = [0.0, 1.0]

    let bottom = UIColor(red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0, alpha: 0.5).cgColor
    let top = UIColor(red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0, alpha: 0).cgColor

    let colors = [top, bottom] as CFArray

    let gradient = CGGradient(colorsSpace: colorSpace, colors: colors, locations: locations)

    let startPoint = CGPoint(x: img.size.width/2, y: 0)
    let endPoint = CGPoint(x: img.size.width/2, y: img.size.height)

    context!.drawLinearGradient(gradient!, start: startPoint, end: endPoint, options: CGGradientDrawingOptions(rawValue: UInt32(0)))

    let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()

    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    return image!
