## Declaration

```swift
func settingProperties(_ properties: [AnyHashable : Any]) -> CIImage
```

## Parameters

- `properties`: A dictionary of metadata properties akin to the CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex() function.

## Return Value

Return Value  An autoreleased CIImage instance with a copy of the new properties.

## Discussion

Discussion When you create an image, Core Image sets an image’s properties to a metadata dictionary as described here: properties. Use this method to override an image’s metadata properties with new values.
