When I chose a picture for my lock screen wallpaper it automatically zooms in on the picture. I cannot zoom out because it will not let me. I've tried different sites, reseting and I cant make any major adjustments without losing all my pictures, videos, ect. Is there something in the settings that needs to be changed or is this just a bug that Apple needs to work out?
iPhone 5c, iOS 7.0.4
Nothing has worked. Double tapping. Zoom is off. Still zooms in my photo I select.

Go to the photo you want as your background, then take a screenshot of it.
Use the new photo as background, because the screenshot makes the photo smaller, which means that it won't be zoomed in as much as a normal picture does.
This is a balls up. I am not sure what apple have done. I have a new iPhone 6. I take screen shot, then try and use it as the home screen and it enlarges.
I have exported the picture to my computer, AHH! HANG ON. I have just found a way. Thanks to other posts. 1). Go to accessibility. Turn zoom on. 2) scroll down and find Zoom region. Set to full screen. 3.) Go to the image and tap on it to bring up the menu and select "Use as wallpaper". 4.) Then use two fingers to set the size. 5). I haven't figured out the Perspective zoom yet, (on or 0ff) but at least I can get started. Cheers. Lee
On the Home screen, double-tap with three fingers to exit zoom.
Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility and make sure Zoom is turned Off.
It's not zooming in as such. The picture you're trying to use is simply larger than the screen (in terms of pixels), so only a portion of the picture gets displayed. If you can reduce the picture size to the same size as the screen before you use it, you'll be OK.
Did you find anything that worked?
Taking a screen shot with the iPad and using that photo for wall paper/screen saver still enlarges the photo and makes it unusable as a screen saver. Is there a way to make this work or did Apple screw up something else with their iOS 7 changes?
why does the picture always zoom in when I try to set one for my lock screen or background?
