Since CGImage is derived from CFType you can just do:

[(id)aCGImageRef autorelease]

The reason being that CFType knows how to handle a -release message, and autorelease is just a way of deferring that message.

Given a CGImageRef, how can I autorelease it?

Perhaps this is obvious, or perhaps its impossible, but googling hasn't found me the answer yet except for a tantalizing comment in the docs for NSBitmapImageRep:

- (CGImageRef)CGImage (added in 10.5)
"Returns an autoreleased CGImage object (an opaque type) from the receiver's current bitmap data."

For CFStringRef, I know I can cast it to an NSString* and then autorelease it, but is there an equivalent for CGImageRef?

Thanks,
  Peter.
