I use custom pictures on my lock screen and in previous iOS version I could scale them manually. With iOS 7, however, they automatically resize to fit the screen which I don't want. How do I turn this off?
This must be fixed. What a fail by Apple. Do they really expect people to only want to see a portion of a pic they took with their iPhone?
I've tried everything. This is a major fail. It removes a big chink of my photos. Certainly hope they fix this quickly.
That works but the quality suffers when you do it like this. Still, thanks for this workaround 🙂
I have noticed that is reading the original size of the file. Picture have are small come up full size and can be cropped. Picture they are big to begin with can't be sized down. You just need to resize them and then resync.
I spoke to a technician last night and was elevated to a Senior Technician. She was very polite and seemed concerned that I wasn't happy. But when she tried to do the same thing, she also became frustrated.
She said the best way to get this resolved is if we all go to the product feedback and leave comments there they we want it fixed.
Apple need to fix this it means you cant have a nice picture that you want on your background, with all the programming ability they should be able to fix this IOS 7.0.1 🙂 Please fix apple
This does not work on images that are larger than ipad screen.
This might help

Your image needs to be stretched to the outside of the bleed area so that when the iPad is in portrait or landscape mode there is enough image so that you dont see black when using the parallax feature.
The image I have uploaded is a perfect fit and the viewport area will fit perfectly on the screen. The dimensions can be used to create your own perfectly fitting wallpapers.
GUYS I have figured it out.
When in photos, viewing the image you would like to set as your wallpaper, pinch out to zoom in and then zoom out until the image becomes smaller on your screen,and is surrounded by a black background
While holding the zoom out in place, take a screenshot.
Then you can set the screenshotted image as a wallpaper and adjust to your liking.
The only drawback is that the resolution will suffer slightly.
Hope this helps, until apple fixes this.
Screenshot your origional photo and then use that as your wallpaper 🙂 makes them fit way better!
this is a decent work around but FYI, you need to make the pic half the actual size of your actual screen before you save it, so when it auto re-sizes it, in the screensaver menu, it will fit just to the edges of your actual screen.
Bad form, apple, your getting to be as bad as Microsoft with errors after releases!!!!
Turn off ios 7 parallax. You should then be able to resize OK.
Access General Settings, and then select Accessibility. Here there is an option called Reduce Motion, select that and turn on the little switch. This will disable Parallax
Turning on the reduce motion option has no effect on this problem.
It did for me ! Anyone considered it may be device specific.
Photo was taken on the device, and it stands to reason that if you know how parralex works that if it's turned off you gain image size as it doesn't have too add side and top and bottom image overlap to provide the effect.
I'm not saying you are wrong, but like I said it's worked for me with images taken on iPhone 5 post iOS upgrade.
Just trying to help !
Much love
Ha, what improved functionality?? There is none!! Having spoken with Apple support, this is CLEARLY a QA fail and the most basic and idiotic one I have ever seen. A $700 device that doesn't allow you to make an image your wallpaper in its original dimensions. Pathetic. Oh, but it's ok because the now-ugly icons shake a little.
Right.
How to stop automatic resizing of lock screen wallpaper?
