IOS 7 wallpaper resizing will not shrink photo to fit screen...

After update, wallpaper stretchs larger than image. Unable to resize smaller to fit screen. My photo only measures 24k @ 261x231 and is HUGE; bigger than the screen can accommodatem (shrink). Cannot resize smaller to fit screen. Any ideas/suggestions? I have tried resizing my photo (smaller crop in size and dimensions) and photos render too large for screen. Cannot resize smaller to fit. I know I am repeating myself. Just to be clear. Am I doing something incorrectly in IOS 7? Any ideas/suggestions or similar problems solving input would be appreciated.

For everyone with an iPad, I have another solution. Take your pictures upsdide down. Then rotate them 10-degrees opposite from the gravitational pull of the earth. Take a screenshot. Then invert the image in iPhoto, submit it to Instagram but route it through Facebook. Take whichever photo comes through smaller and resize that into approximately what you think is a third the size of the screen. Take another screenshot and repeat the process. After an hour or so, you should have a photo you like. Or, maybe not.


For everyone with an iPhone, reverse the process. Except the repeat part.


Or, for all of us, report the bug.

I think I've got it! if you look at the photo in your photos, then tap the screen so around the photo goes black take a screenshot with the surrounding black, careful not to touch the screen again or you'll get the photo numbers and it'll go back to white again at the top(don't want that) then apply the photo with the black around it, then it doesn't zoom in once you apply it as a background. Hope it works for everyone else!

You're asking this question rhetorically, right? I mean, pay attention. Apple hasn't done ANYTHING about it, but you would have known that simply by reading the preceding pages. This thread now stands at 41 pages. How many people is that? You figure it out. And this is only one thread of several similar threads, not only in the Apple Support Communities but on other mac forums as well. EVERYONE who has an iPhone or an iPad and tries to size photos--like they used to do without any problems---but is now unable to do that---is complaining about this. It used to work. It doesn;t work now. We;re all complaining and asking Apple to fix it. Any other questions?
