IOS7: inability to crop photos for home or lock screen

iOS7 doesn't allow you to "move and scale" photos to set for the lock and home screens. When will this be fixed?

Great, that's what I was worried about too...seems like since Steve died they are no longer interested in keeping the quality up, just trying to push "new" things. I'd trade the stupid parallex effect in a heartbeat for the ability to use my own photos as wallpapers again. Very sad.

HT4623 Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7??

Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7?? Installed ios7 this morning. Tried to use one of my photos from camera roll as background for lock screen and I can't scale the photo to fit the screen. Never had a problem before and now when I pinch the photo to get it to the right size of the screen, it won't stay that way. The photo is enlarged way beyond the screen size so it doesn't look right. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello, cliffiapp4.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

Pictures for home and lock screen...

How do you downscale a picture to use as a background on home screen? However hard I try it doesnt get down to the size as shown in my photos...

The image will only go so small. Before the update to ios7 you use to be able to shrink an image and allow black space to show but the new iOS wants all image to show

I can't figure out how to resize my picture for my home or lock screens.

I can't figure out how to resize my picture for my home or lock screens. It shouldn't be his difficult. Any suggestions? I'm running the latest software. Thanks.

whichever app store you are connecting to, hyou need a credit card with an address in that country. Also, itunes gift cards must be in local currency too.
If you are in japan, you need to use the japan app store

You make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get it serviced/replaced. You broke it. If you can't even force a reboot, there's nothing much more you can do.

Does the 3GS get the photo button on the lock screen?

I thought the update included a photo button on the lock screen. Did anyone else get it on their 3GS?

Yes, I have it on mine. Just double click the home button.

It's too late now to worry about not having backed up. You have to restore the iPad or .....
A. You can have a device that still has all of the photos on it but you can't get to them because the device doesn't work
or.....
B. You can restore, lose the photos and have a functioning device again.

How to set email notification on home page lock screen on iphone 4s . Settings did not work, what am I missing?

I have a iphone 4s. I cannot get any email notifications on the home page/ lock screen. Also to find out if i have mail i have to press on the email icon and it will update , then it will show i have mail. I talked to a verizon technician and went trough all the settings . He suggested to reset the settings to default , if that does not work i need to replace the phone. Any suggestions ? Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Miri

What are you rmail settings? Sounds like manual pull versus push, is this correct? If your email provider does not offer "push" mail like gmail or iCloud then change from manual pull to hourly or the interval you prefer; more frequent can degrade battery performance.
Also, go to Settings > Notifications and select "Mail" and move "view in lock screen" to on to see message previews in the lock screen.

My home and lock screen is draining my battery, why?

My husband just bought me a new iPhone 6 and my Home and Lock screen is draining my battery. Its using 43% of my battery it has been recently updated with the newest apple update. Please help me resolve this issue.

Poke around in the notifications. You may find a lot of stuff defaulted to on that you may not need. Also look at the background app update and background app refresh.

Home and lock screen draining battery 4s

Home and lock screen draining battery 4s. Also I can not turn the phone off, it keeps restarting itself. I'm guessing these issue may be related. The phone is set up as a new phone, no apps installed.
Usage and standby time are equal even though the phone isn't being used with "home and lock screen" taking up 90% battery power.
Can anyone help me with a solution?

Try again to set it back to factory settings, using iTunes and again not using a backup afterwards. If this does not help, you'll have to get your phone checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or by contacting Apple Support:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
iPhone - Contact Support - Apple Support

My Home and Lock screen is a battery hog according to IOS8.

What settings can lower the usage? What is being used by the Home and Lock Screen?

Hello stephenfrompalm beach gardens,
The page linked below details a number of settings that you can adjust that can help reduce battery usage.

Using external editor PSE to crop photos for iPhoto

For years I have used PSE (Photoshop Elements) as the external editor in iPhoto (iPhoto 8 - 7.1.5). Recently I upgraded to a new machine which has iPhoto 11 (9.4.2) installed. I decided (amongst other things) to crop a photo in PSE using the "No Restriction" option. When this photo was re-opened in iPhoto, iPhoto rendered it as a "stretched" photo - like it was trying to force it to the original photo ratio. Obviously all the dimensions looked weird in this "stretched" photo! As an experiment I reverted the cropped photo to "Original" and then performed the exact same crop within iPhoto itself. No problem. The photo was rendered exactly as you'd expect. So why does the new iPhoto not seem to handle externally cropped photos properly? Is there a solution? (other than forking out another 50 quid for the latest version of PSE - which may or may not have the same issue!)
Yes I'm using an old version pf PSE (6 in fact) but everything else (at least everything else that I've tried!) seems to work OK.
Thoughts anyone?

I may be preaching to the choir here but there may be some PSE tips here that might help, particularly regarding PSE's preferences:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Crop photo for just ONE layer in CS6

I have 2 layers.
One photo was PLACED on each layer.
I turn off the other layer so thet the "eye" icon is no longer seem.
I crop photo in the active layer but remaining layer photo get cropped too.
What am I doing wrong? I did the tutorial for the new crop tool.

Charles,
I did all the relevent Adobe PS tutorials plus those I googled done by third parties. I can't find the PS page now, but you know the one I mean, 20+ video tutorial links on the page. None address layers while cropping.
Does this mean I need to do masks, if so, doesn't this add unnecessary data/K to the file since masks cover and don't delete? I'll crop originals before I bring in then, then mask from there.
Thank you, I was ticked off not understanding.

FCP Sequence compression / format for editing photos for a HD Plasma screen

Hello Forum
I'm editing a 10 minute documentary that's mostly based on graphics and photographs, and a voiceover. There's maybe 30 seconds of HD Video in it (Sony EX1 Camera). (But I assume the video will be convertable into any format anyway.)
The final film will be screened on an 1920x1080 HD Screen.
What sequence preset should I use? I don't see any 1920x1080 in my final cut pro 5.2.
I'm somewhat new to the world of HD. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Cheers,
sk

Thank you for all your replies.
You guys are right. Sorry it's 5.1.4...
Let's assume there's no video involved. What would be a good format workflow for a 10 minute film containing audio, graphics and photos only (72dpi jpgs and tiff files)?
I will receive low res / temp photos for a rough cut. And then high res photos for the final cut.
I would like to edit offline with a timeline setting that allows me to pan and zoom in/out of photos without much rendering, a fast compression. And then once the cut is approved another setting that allows me to uprez to a higher compression with little effort.
My setup: Mac Pro (2009) with 3 gigs of RAM (thinking of upgrading to 6) and 512 megs graphics card.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thank you
