title: UIImage is equal to
body: <p>I need to check if a file loaded into an <code>UIImage</code> object file is equal to another image and execute some actions if so. Unfortunately, it's not working.</p>
  
  <pre><code>emptyImage = UIImage(named: imageName)
  
  if(image1.image != emptyImage) {
      // do something
  } else {
      // do something
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above code always enters the <code>if</code> branch.</p>
