How do you resize an image on an ipad for ios7?

I've got the same question. Just bought a new iPad Air. The photos are fine - in their folders - but if I select one for wall paper or lock screen, it quadrouples in size and I get a message saying "move and resize".

I can move it, side to side, but I can't scale it down to use as a wall paper. I went from a first gen iPAD to this 5th gen device. It was so simple with the 1st gen - you simply selected the photo you want for wallpaper or lock screen and it kept it's size/orientation.,

What's the trick with iOS7 and iPad Air?

Thanks,

This is a known issue with iOS 7. You can send feedback to apple about it here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

I've since found: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5318510 and it looks like this is a well documented problem - one that Apple doesn't appear to be doing anything about.

What was such a simple thing has become complicated. You either have to turn off certain features, or take snapshots of your pictures, or edit the photo in an external program, then fake the photo out by adding a black border, or get 3rd party apps that "sort of" fix the problem.

Way too complicated. How they let something so simple become such an issue is beyond me.

Oh well...

Odds are it is considered to be an issue of much less importance than other features or fixes being worked on and will be addressed eventually.

I finally found an "app "that fixes the issue with lock screen and home screen photo resizing it's called" Wallpaper Fix" it was the best solution to the problem and it worked excellent! This person should get an award !

if the phone can't resize image itself, why don't you just install an third party software in it to help you resize image and photo. Wall paper fix seems great. thank you.
