HELP!!! Can anyone else resize there picture for wallpaper?

Hi

I have updated my iPad to the ISO 7.0.2

All great but the thing I have found is I can't resize my picture to fit on the main screen wallpaper like we could before?

We use to show the picture click on it box comes up at the bottom and says set as home screen or both ...

Now we have to click the icon bottom left then 2 more sets of icons come up and click the one to set as wallpaper then is says "move to scale" it won't let me have the full picture like it did before

Has anyone else had this problem or is it just me ??

Thanks

iPad, iOS 7.0.2

It's not perfect but you have a bit more control if you go in through the photos app, choose your photo, 'send' it to be wallpaper by tapping that little box with an arrow coming out of it. You can do some scaling and positioning there, but not as much as you used to.

people have found the larger resolution your photo is to begin with the better it works.

The bottom line is it's a bug. Doesn't work on iPad, seems to work fine on the iPhone. Next wek they're introducing new iPads, will probably have new version of iOS too (7.0.3? 7.1?) to go with 'em. Hopefully it'll fix it.
