Photo to Wallpaper Troubles

How do you down scale a photo to fit my wallpeper? You can zoom in but cant zoom out to make photo fit to screen size...

Yep, it's either a bug or was changed by Apple on purpose. No one knows which. Look around and you will see many people with the same issue.

  • Imported photo in wallpaper unable to be resized

    As mentioned earlier....imported photo to wallpaper cannot be resized even though it suggests it can

    To me the opening post sounds rather like Susie does external editing in "Nik software" triggered from within LR, like you would do e.g. with Photoshop. She might hit "save" in this external editing program and expect to have a 2nd file inside LR.
    Sometimes I do not find such a picture upon return, because LR might have sorted it to the bottom due to changed file date (my usual sorting order is by capture date).
    Or the external software does a "save as" and assign a new file name, in which case LR cannot auto-import it into its catalog.
    The software "Portrait Professional" does the same on my computer by default, so I have always to take care that I actually save over LR's exported version.

  • Setting photos as wallpaper

    Each time I choose a photo from my gallery to make a wallpaper it gets enlarged and distorted. Is there a way to set a photo as wallpaper without zooming in?

    I provided some information below that may help.
    1 . Ensure that when you are setting the picture as your wallpaper, that you are stretching the orange box around the picture all the way out. If not, the wallpaper will center on a smaller portion of the picture making it oversized and pixilated.
    2) Ensure the image is at least 480 x 854 (the size of the Droid 2’s screen) and make sure that you have a good resolution. The more pixels per inch you have the sharper the image will be. If you have an image that is too small, it will appear pixilated and distorted once it is applied as a wallpaper. 
    **If you are using your camera, it is recommend to set the image sizes to Large(5mp), or for best results Widescreen(6mp). To change the camera settings, you can follow the instructions below:
    -Select the Applications arrow
    -Select Camera
    -Select Menu
    -Select Settings
    -Select Picture Resolution
    -Select the desired resolution

  • Is Apple working on a fix for editing photos for wallpaper, call contacts with photo, etc? The iPhone used to be so intuitive for everything but that tanked with the ios7 upgrade

    iPhone 5 was so intuitive before the update. Editing photos has changed for the worst-any word of a fix for editing photos for wallpaper? Not a work around, a fix. If I wanted this kind of photo editing I'd still be using my droid x.
    Anyway to go back to ios6?

  • 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.

    Are the photos saved on your phone's SD card? Try removing and reinserting the card and restarting your phone.

    When trying to use a photo for wallpaper, cannot scale the image to size I want to use.  Feature worked fine in iOS6

    James, thank you. I'm experiencing the same issue and submitted feelback at that link. I'm trying to use the same pumpkin image I used last year for Halloween on my lock screen and attempting to follow instructions (Move and Scale) and would like to make the image smaller so that it appears BELOW the time and date, but although I'm able to move the image, I'm unable to scale it - make it smaller. I've since tried this with several other photos with the same outcome. It seems that in iOS 7 one can make images bigger, but not smaller. I'm not sure what the logic behind that could be.

  • Problems sizing photos for wallpaper

    Since the IOS software updates I have been unable to resize photos for wallpaper & lock screen, they just don't remain the size or position I set.

    How do i delete all my photos in wallpaper that are in my camera roll

    There is an option, under Advanced, on the Info Pane in iTunes to replace all contacts on your phone with what's on your computer for the next sync only. So, edit everything on your computer & use that method.

  • IOS7 Issue with Using Photos as Wallpaper

    I've tried to use my own photos for wallpaper as I had done with the iOS6.1.4.  I am unable to "resize" the photos down so they fit in the screen.  Any tips?  Thanks!

    If you have access to a photo editing program like photoshop, resize the photos there, making them 2048 x 2048 and they should work for your wallpaper

  • Is there any way to get the apple stock photos as wallpaper? From the iPhone features page?

    I want this picture.
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/
    The picture on the black phone next to the 4 inch retina display section. Is there any way to get it? Is it a default photo or wallpaper of iPhone 5?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer/files/docs/pics/music/etc, for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Once the music is in itunes on your computer, then you can sync to your iphone.

  • 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)

  • How do I set a photo as wallpaper to my iPad Mini after iOS 7.0.2 software update?

    I open up the Photos app on my iPad Mini to choose a photograph to use on my home screen and lock screen. First, I hit Select located in the upper right side of the screen of the app and I choose a photograph to use. Second, I choose AirDrop located on the upper left corner of the app. Afterwards, I choose Use as Wallpaper found in AirDrop. Next, the photo is shown with the words Move and Scale on it. Then I choose Set Lock Screen, Set Home Screen and Set Both, not all do these at once though. When I click on each of these buttons nothing happens. The photograph I chose will not show up on my Lock Screen and Home Screen. I want to set this photograph to show up on both my Lock Screen and my Home Screen. I am getting very frustrated that I can not set a photograph to Set Both so that it shows up on both my Lock Screen and Home Screen at the same time. I forgot to say that I just went to my settings, then general, then reset and finally Reset All Settings before doing this, because I could not download any new apps at all. I am wondering if this has anything to do with this? I am willing to take any help I can get. In the end, I end up hitting cancel, because I am very frustrated.

    Hello there, RedHead101.
    The following iPhone Basics guide should help you with how to do this. It should work just like that on your iPad:
