How do I move and scale my photo for wallpaper?

When I select a photo, I can't get the move or scale to adjust. It just reverts back to the original.

You could use the free Instafit app https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/instafit-post-photos-to-instagram/id591706840?mt =8

  • How can I move and scale my photos

    How can I move and scale my photos so that I can use them for wallpaper?  After update, I'm no longer able to do this as much as I need to.  They just pop back to their original size or larger.

    You will either need to turn Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion 'on', or create a higher resolution versions of your images
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5595 :
    When the parallax effect is on, you may notice the following:
    Wallpaper, icons, and alerts shift slightly as you move your phone.
    When you set a wallpaper in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness, the photo or image will be slightly zoomed and can't be scaled to fit the screen.
    If you zoom in, you will need to rescale your wallpaper to fit to the screen. You can't rescale certain photo formats, including landscape or square images.

  • Ever since ios 7 I havent been able to "move and scale" a photo for my wall paper or lock screen. Any suggestions?

    I Would like to use a person photo for my lock screen and wall paper but the ios wont let me scale the photo to fit the screen. Thisnis an issue since the ios 7 upgrade. I was hoping it was fix in ios 8. NOT!  Any suggestions?

    It must have changed before i bought a ipod touch as as long as ive had a ipod you could only use itunes for putting music etc on to one,
    Hope this helps,

  • How do I move and scale pictures on iPad mini

    How do I move and scale pictures on I pad mini I can move but not scale

    You can go into the settings, accessibility and turn parallax motion off. THis is what makes it look 3D, like your icons are floating on your screen. It helps a bit because to have that 3D, your wallpaper needs to have an overlap off the edge of the screen.
    ALso, if you go into the photos app, find your photo, send it to be wallpaper (the box with the arrow poking out of it) you will have a bit more control. The higher resolution your image is the more you will have.
    Some have also reported some progress rotating their image. For example if your picture is landscape (wider than it is tall), when you go into the photos app, hold your iPad in portrait mode, taller than it is wide. Do the send to that way and see if it helps with you having more scaling room

  • One of the 7's results that I don't like is the ablitly to Move and Scale a photo that I want to use as wallpaper.  Last version had this.  Techie i spoke with said that there was a product feedback site on here to comment on this, but I can't find it.

    One of the features that I miss since uploading 7 is the ability to "Move and Scale" a photo that I want to use as wallpaper.  Techie I spoke with said that I should post this on Product Feedback, but I can't find that.

    Sorry.

  • Can you please fix the move and scale when adjusting a wallpaper can you set it up right before iOS 7 update

    Can you please fix the move and scale when adjusting a wallpaper can you set it up right before iOS 7 update and it aggravates me that every time I try to put a picture of my wallpaper is just Zooms in and you can't see all of the picture it wasn't like this before

    Nobody here can change it. We're all just other users like yourself here.

  • Since the new updates am unable to move and scale a photo when trying to apply it as wallpaper or to a contact.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    SInce getting the new updates I am unable to move and scale a picture when I am trying to assign it as wallpaper or as a contact. Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

    It's a known issue. You do have more control if you go into the photos app, resize etc and then send it to your wallpaper. It wont' be perfect, but better.

  • HT5595 Is there going to be an update soon that will fix the "move and scale" not working on wallpaper, etc???

    The move and scale feature on the setting of wallpapers has not worked for quite some time now, Ive tried ALL suggestions online and none of them are working.  This is an apple issue that needs to be resolved asap.

    No one would know when or if an update is coming, unless Apple announces, which is rare.

  • Why can't I scale my photos for wallpaper?

    When I select a photo for wallpaper I can't scale it.

    I'd imagine you're trying to zoom out on a photo. I think there's a problem with scaling if the dimensions of the photo are not fit to wallpaper size.
    The workaround is in the photo app itself, select the photo you wish to use. Resize it to what you want the wallpaper to look like. Take a screenshot (press the home button and sleep button at the same time).
    Set the screenshot as wallpaper. That should fit nicely.

  • Instagram won't let me move and scale my photos

    Is anyone else having this problem with Instagram? I deleted it and reinstalled it and I still cant move the little box to the part of the photo I want to edit. It goes back to the center on its own.
    Note: I'm trying this on my iPhone 4S

    Thank you for the news
    I also had problem move and scaling my pic on instagram.
    The latest version should be 2.0.3, update now!

  • Having trouble sizing a photo for wallpaper in iOS 7

    When I try to move and scale a photo for my home screen wallpaper on my iPad3, using iOS 7, it immediately reverts to it's original size, which is larger than the screen. Is this a bug in iOS 7 or am I doing something wrong?

    I was able to move and scale the wallpaper on my iPad 4 by turning off the parallax motion....
    Go to Settings > General > Assessibility > Reduce Motion "set to OFF"
    Next, in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > Choose Wallpaper (pick the wallpaper) - you should now be able to "Move and Scale" the photo that you've chosen for your wallpaper.
    After you've SET the wallpaper, you can go back to Parallax motion by turning Reduce Motion to "ON" (see step 1)

  • HT1476 My Iphone 5s does allow my Iphone to use panorama photos to be a live wallpaper, when i want to go set one of my panorama photos to be a live wallpaper it only say "Move and Scales" why is that?

    Hi i just recently brought an iphone 5S and i hear about the live wallpaper using panorama photos. I took a panoramic photo on my iphone, and i went to set it as my wallpaper but it says "Move and Scale" shouldnt it say "Wallpaper Review"? why is this happening?

    I live in China as well and my iPhone5s is the model A1530 I bougth outside China. I have the same problem as Nikatnight with the iPhone while the iPad Air (wifi only) is working like a charm. It must be definitely something related to the carrier since I was abroad few days ago and everything worked well.
    If you pay attention at the source of your maps, you'll discover they are provided by AutoNavi instead of TomTom and make them appear in chinese with their own border interpretation. Queries are only acceppted in Chinese (p.e. if I type in english "Los Angeles International Airport"  it replies it cannot locate it)
    I suppose everything will be fine when you'll be out of censorship....
    Perhaps iOS  Apple Maps are absolutely useless for expatriate in China.
    Use Google Maps instead
    BTW, I'm surprised how much Apple might prostrate towards hard power Governments.... No matter what, money are always on top!

  • Unable to move and scale photos for wallpaper on IPad mini after iOS 7 update.

    After update to iOS7 on my IPad mini, I am able to select my personal photos for the wallpaper, but I cannot move and scale them to fit.  The option is there but unresponsive.  I already had to remove the protective case to access the new control panel via up swipe which must begin below the screen next to the "home" button to initiate.  Now I can no longer personalize the wall paper with my own photos.  It's been a frustrating experience without any real perceptible improvements.

    What a nightmare! Had I known what was in store for me, I would never have updated my iPAD Mini to iOS7.
    The calendar with it's ultra-thin Helvetica is near impossible to see. To add insult to injury, not being able
    to move and size a wallpaper photo is just totally unacceptable. So annoying when software is thrown out
    there for the general public when it's obviously not ready. I tried the solution:
    Go to Settings > General > Assessibility > Reduce Motion "set to OFF" 
    Next, in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > Choose Wallpaper (pick the wallpaper) - you should now be able to "Move and Scale" the photo that you've chosen for your wallpaper. 
    After you've SET the wallpaper, you can go back to Parallax motion by turning Reduce Motion to "ON" (see step 1)
    And it just DOES NOT WORK. Plain and simple. I am so tired of Apple products that have bugs that we are all expected to work through and work out while paying anywhere from $500 to $2000 for a product. And of course you can't get online support in a quick, efficient manner. My big old $600 bite out the Apple is tasting mighty sour at the moment.
