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.

If that doesn't fix things, you may want to try my workaround:

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.

I had photoshop elements 8 installed on my previous computer and it did not work properly when it came to sizing photos for a website I was adding to. I now have a new computer which runs windows 7. Is it worth installing it again on my new computer?

I have PSEv.8 on my computer running WINDOWS 7. It works perfectly..
Perhaps you need help with saving files for web use.. Will be pleased to assist you when you get everything set up.

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?

How would we know?

No

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)

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.

Trying to size my photo for wallpaper on iPad Retina

I am trying to use one of my photos, sized 2048 X 1536, for use as wallpaper. I have no problem selecting the desired photo. When I do that, the selected photo is shown enlarged, too big to fit the whole photo onto the screen. At the bottom of the selected photo it says "move and scale" but when I try to size the photo I get no response. I can pinch or spread the photo onscreen, but when I release it, it goes back to being too large.
In other words, how do I make the "move and scale" function work as intended? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

You want to print two photos on an A4 page, right?
1 - select the two photos and click on Print.
2 - set Page size to A4 borderless
3 - set Print size to Custom
4 - enter a width of A4's width less .25" and length to A4/2 less .25".
That should give you 2 photos per page with a minimal white border. If you try to set the width to exactly the width of the A4 page and exactly half the length it will revert to 1 photo per page. You can experiment with the .25" dimension a bit and might be able to get it a bit larger.
OT

Why Can't I Access Old Photos for Wallpaper Anymore?

Because of the new switch in photo organization on ios8 I can't access photos that are on my phone to set wallpapers. The photos exist, just not in any photo album as only "Recently Added" appear. When I go into the Photos app I can access them via Photos (and all the dumb "collections" and "moments" subgroups) instead of Albums, but when setting Wallpaper via the Settings menu, you're only given options to choose photos on your phone that are in the newly created albums instead of having access to all that exist. This is beyond stupid. I'm not looking for community help as much as saying how stupid this is and that NOBODY had a problem with the good old Camera Roll. What stupid regressive designing.

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.

Problems with Photos for Mac

Last night, I upgraded to Photos and I've noticed three problems for which I'd like help.
First, Photos seems to have lost about 10 percent of my photos. When upgrading, it asked me which of my two iPhoto libraries I wanted to upgrade and it only gave me the option to select one. Now, I can't find any option to import my second library. How do I do that and add my missing photos?
Second, I spent months organizing curating my iPhoto library, which consists of 35,000 photos, into various events. The new Photos app has completely obliterated that hard work by removing "events" from the organization and then by jumbling photos into what seems to be, at times, a random ordering. Is there any way to resurrect my events and the prior chronology I had established for my photos? I am absolutely fuming at what occurred.
Third, even though I turned on iCloud support for my Photo library, and purchased additional iCloud storage for my photos, no additional photos from my Mac's photo library seem to be appearing on my iPhone or iPad. Is anyone else having that issue?
In sum, I'm not sure what benefits this supposed upgrade from iPhoto actually provides to consumers. It destroys consumers' prior work, replaces it with chaotic organization -- especially for consumers with large photo libraries -- and its most compelling feature -- iCloud support -- doesn't seem to work.
Apple, I have been a loyal customer for many years but I must say that the quality of your software upgrades, both on the Mac and the iPhone/iPad, is deteriorating sharply. It used to be that when a consumer bought your products or loaded your software, it worked with few apparent bugs. Now, I increasingly find that major features don't work well or don't work at all. I am beginning to feel the frustration and irritation with Apple that I felt with Microsoft and that had made me flee Windows for OS.

Use the feedback form to let the developer team know: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
This apparent mess is intentional. Photos organization of the library is automatic. It will structure the library by Moments - grouping the photos by location and date.
The only organization you can add are albums and smart albums based on keywords, etc.
However, your events should have been migrated. You should be seeing a folder "iPhoto Events", with albums for each event. Is this folder missing?

HT5595 Can't scale photos for wallpaper in iOS 7, even with reduce movement turned on in accessibility options. Any fixes?

Extremely frustrated with new iOS 7 wallpaper settings, cannot scale photos down to fit screen. So basic of a need! I turned on reduce screen motion on accessibility as instructed but still doesn't work!

I was able to move and scale my wallpaper by turning off the parallax motion.
Go to Settings > General > Assessibility > Reduce Motion "set to OFF"
Next, in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > Choose 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".

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.
