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.

  • 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.

  • Why can't I resize my pics for wallpaper science o s 7 update?

    Anyone else having problems resizing photos for wallpaper since o s 7 introduction?

    It's a glitch. No idea when Apple will release a fix (or if they will)
    if you go into the photos app and 'send' your photos to be wallpaper, you still can't scale but you can at least maneuver the image around and choose what part you want to see.

  • Why can't resize picture to use for wallpaper?

    What program can I use to resize picture for wallpaper. The new system won't let you resize.

    I suggest using a photo editor on your computer. There may be one on the iPad that let's you resize a photo to specific pixel dimensions. PhotoForge2 allows you to do that but since Google bought PhotoForge it is no longer in the App Store.
    Using your image processing app, increase or decrease the image size to one of the following, depending on the device you’re targeting:
    iPad 2 and iPad mini: 1,424 x 1,424
    iPad 3 and iPad 4: 2,448 x 1,936
    iPad Air: 2,448 x 1936
    iPhone 4S: 1,360 x 1,040
    iPhone 5: 1,536 x 1,040

  • Why can't I use my photos as wallpaper on iOS 7. It says move and scale.  but you can't move it much and you can no longer make it smaller to fit?

    Before the new upgrade iOS 7 you could move in scale your personal photos and use as background wallpaper. You could make them smaller move it up and move it down to fit the screen. Now you can only move it side to side and you can't make it small by pinching the screen. So when you're through and you made your wallpaper background the picture is too big to fit the screen. Is there a way to make the picture smaller so it fits as it did before the upgrade?

  • Why can't I scale/ crop photos in instagram?

    In Instagram, I don't have the option to scale or crop photos/ the function doesn't work. At the top of the screen, the only menu item is "next" when I'm in the scale and crop function. There is no "crop" button as Instagram help indicates there should be.
    Also, I can zoom the photo way out when trying to scale, but can't get it to stay when I pinch and drag it smaller.
    Tried reinstalling the app which didn't work.
    Is anyone else have this problem?

    Not related to apple or IOS update.
    double check the app store to see if there is an IG update.

  • Why can I no longer import photos to iphoto library from the internet with a right click?

    Why can i no longer import photos from the internet to my iphoto library with just a right click?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
