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.

Personally I don't think either of us need this drama, I'm probably old enough to be some of the posters mother, and don't need to get into a flame war on here (an online fight) not interested, but very insulted when I get abused and others are too. I'd suggest Rory just ignoring this post from now on, and ignoring any deletions via apple. They've shown what's important and onesam has unfortunately shown his true colors, trying to sell another app ..

Hi Rory, of course we do, and I am usually all about being polite, but now and then my shall I say ios7 side comes out, and ..... Everything up ;) wondering if this post will stay, maybe not. But on the serious side, I'm just happy I helped you out, and we both got a fix for now, & saddened that other posters seemed to see the worst in what was a nice innocent and helpful gesture. Enjoy being able to use your wallpaper, and it was great to meet you, as such :)

I now have 3 wallpaper resize apps installed on my iPad Mini - Wallpaper Fix, Wallax and InstaFix
The only one which does the job for me ie a sharp image properly resized to fit my screen in landscape mode has been InstaFix - and it's free !
The only proviso is that it my image needs to be initially resized to the screen resolution size for it to work properly ie 1024 x 768 pixels

I have tried and tried with the other two apps but have had no luck getting the result I wanted

The problem of course is not these apps but Apple not listening to a growing horde of very disallusioned customers who will be selling their Apple products and moving to Android devices if this problem does not get addressed soon

Unfortunately, as technology advances and people demand more features/functionality, "just works" always becomes "must learn", and to the mentally incapable masses, that tends to be an impossibility.


Reading helps, perhaps people should take a few minutes and do that? Just an after-thought...


BTW, when people become so lazy that Google and the masses of information in discussions.apple.com and all the user manuals, becomes too much work...


it's really time to blame lazy & uneducated people, not Apple.


These are the same people who can't figure out how to set the clock on their DVD/BluRay players and for years there's a blinking 12:00.


Just sayin!
