iOS 7.1 Zooming Wallpaper with Perspective Zoom Turned Off

So, I was thrilled to see iOS 7.1 came out this morning because I had heard it would finally bring an end to the parallax wallpaper zoom problem. So, I upgraded and reset the wallpaper on my iPad making sure perspective zoom was turned off. I was sad to see that iOS was now blowing up my wallpaper for no reason. (I.e. All my wallpapers are 2048x2048, yet it is still zooming them by almost double.) I tried move and scale to shrink it, but can't get it to snap into native resolution. Has anyone else seen this or, better yet, have a solution? It is driving me nuts that, no matter what custom wallpaper I feed it at a native resolution, I keep getting a blurry mess! Thanks.

iPad, iOS 7.1, Air

I T D O E S N ' T W O R K . It cuts off part of the photo no matter what I try. The lower icon bar conceals more of my wallpaper than it had in iOS 7.0. If I try to get it to show, the top of the photo appears cropped. The image shown in settings of the wallpaper is perfect, but that image does not really represent what appears.


However, thanks to your suggestion, I can get the "perspective on/off" to appear. Taking reduced motion off worked for that. I've settled for another photo of the Batman in his alter-ego identity; not as good as the one I had, but it's serviceable until a *real* fix for this issue arrives.
