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

  • 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.

  • HT1933 Why can't I move and scale pictures for the back ground

    I try to make my personal pics the screen saver and it doesn't let me move and scale it so it fits the screen.... The old system worked but this one doesn't. It gives me the option but I can't do anything.

  • Cannot move and scale wallpaper on my mini iOS 7.1.2

    Yesterday I updated my 16GB iPad mini to iOS 7.1.2. Today I wanted to change the wallpaper but can't get the mini to "move and scale" the photo I chose. I have tried the suggested remedies posted for the last iOS update (this past fall): turn off "Reduce Motion," try again (no dice).  Edit the photo choosing the 5x7 aspect ration, save, try again (no dice). Go to photos and send the photo to wallpaper, try again (still no dice).
    Using two fingers I can move and scale the image but when I remove my fingers from the screen the image reverts to its original size and position.

    What happens when you try?
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • 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.

  • How do I move or scale my wallpaper?

    Ever since the iOS7 update I have been unable to move and scale pictures when setting my wallpapers. The screen always centers the picture and scales it automatically to fill the entire screen. As you can imagine, this isn't always how I would like my wallpaper to look. I would appreciate any suggestions, thank you!

    It appears no longer to be possible in IOS 7. See the many unanswered questions in the "More Like This".
    I use a work-around:
    Scale and crop the photo in the photos app to the section you want to use.
    Take a screen shot by holding down the power button and home button at the same time, The screenshot will appear in your camera roll.
    Use the Photos.app to set this screnshot up as your wallpaper.

  • How do I get a picture to stay when I move and scale it for my home screen?

    How do I get a picture to stay when I move and scale it for my home screen?

    Unfortunately that seems to be a known bug. And something we have to wait for APple to fix. THere are other threads on the same topic and some people have work arounds so you might want to poke around in the 'more like this' on the right.

  • 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.

  • Animation Issue - Move and Scale

    I am working with InDesign CS5 and am animating a set of images next to text. I am using the Move and Scale preset and modifying the motion path. The picture is set to enlarge 300% and move about an inch diagonally upon mouseover. When the picture enlarges, it overlaps with text and other images in the document. Sometimes, the image enlarges and is "on top" of the other images and text so that none of the picture is obscured. However, most of the time, the picture enlarges and is "behind" the text or other images, thus obscuring the image. How do I make it so that the image is always "on top" when it enlarges?
    Thanks!

    If you currently have motion 'on' then from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5595 :

    Please help ! Why can I not " move and scale my pictures as wallpaper on my iPad mini ? I can do it on my ipad and iPhone. No one seems to be able to help. I am not alone in this but nothing is being done to solve this problem. I have googled and there is a lot of discussion on this, many updates have happened , but still I am unable to do it. Very frustrating !

    Do you have the parallax effect (the 3D effect) 'on' (Settings > General > Accessibillity > Reduce Motion 'off') ? If you do then you will either need to create higher resolution versions of your images, or turn that effect 'off'.

  • How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

    How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

    You can't save a PDF directly to the photos app, but if you can open the PDF in the mail app and get the entire PDF to appear on the screen, take a screenshot of it and that will be saved to the photos app camera roll.
    Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time briefly until you see the white flash on the screen and hear the shutter sound. That's how to take a screenshot.
    You should probably tap and hold down on the PDF in the mail app and select it to open in iBooks or another PDF app that you might have on the iPad.

  • How can I move photos from pictures to my Iomega external hard drive?  I have copied all photos, however it won't allow me to paste them.  The paste button is grayed out.

    How can I move photos from pictures to my external hard drive? I have copied all photos, however it won't allow me to paste the photos.  The paste button is grayed out.

    Do you want to copy some pictures to the external drive, or do you want to move your whole iPhoto library? The latter will free up hard drive space on your start up disk; the procedure is explained here:

    Note this is not the same as a Time Machine backup.
    If on the other hand you want to copy some photos from one drive to another, you can just drag and drop them from one location to another. This is a true copy, the originals will remain intact.

  • 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!

  • Move and Scale Action

    I have text moving from one place to another using the Move Action.
    The text itself is too small to really be able to read, so I'm looking for the best way to increase the size of the text (not necessarily scale as that will give me fuzzy text) from, lets say 5px to 20px, where it reaches 20px by the middle of the move, and then reduces back down to 5px by the end of its journey.  A pause in the middle may be nice too, but that's probably asking to much.
    In effect I'm trying to show
    Where the text is coming from
    What the text is
    Where the text is going to
    Any suggestions welcome, thanks.

    Welcome to the forum, and to the Mac!
    Combining actions and builds is pretty simple, and is done in the Build Order flyout drawer in the Action Inspector palette. Create your move action, then click the small "Add Action" plus sign at the bottom of the Action palette to add your scale action. When you add this action, the Build Order drawer will appear, listing the actions/builds for the slide. In order to combine actions/builds, you simply need to select an action and in the bottom "Start Build" drop-down menu choose "Automatically with build #" (where "#" is the prior build). After doing this, your object will move and scale simultaneously (and could also rotate and change opacity, if you wanted, as all these actions can be put together in any combination using this technique).
    This procedure is also how you get multiple objects to build in or out together. Playing with the time delay for the build (just below the "Start Build" dropdown) can also produce some very nice effects.
