Photo display image size

When I edit a photo on my iPad 2 I can see the whole image; in normal display mode, however, the edges of the photo are missing. Is there anything I can do about this? Many thanks.

iPad 2, iOS 9.0.2

Hi Davecpep,

I think I see what you seeing on your iPad. When viewing a photo the top and bottom of the image is hidden by the controls but when you edit the image you see it complete.

Note you can go full screen image by tapping on the image thus hiding the controls.

View photos and videos - iPad User Guide

While viewing a photo or video, tap to show and hide the controls. Swipe left or right to go forward or backward.

That way you don't have to go into Edit to see the complete picture.

Take care.

Thanks for your reply Nubz N. Sorry I wasn't clear - the issue is about losing some of the image from the right and left edges. I have looked more closely at my photos and realise this doesnt happen with shots I took on my old camera which were in 4:3 ratio which I think matches the iPad screen. By default my new camera shoots in 3:2 ratio format. The iPad is "choosing" to cut off a bit from each edge rather than show a black strip at the top and bottom, which would be my preference. My question is whether I am stuck with this display setting. Thanks again.

This is an issue at the moment on iOS 9 with photos taken with non-Apple cameras.

IOS9 PHOTOS IS CROPPING ALL PHOTOS. WHY?????

16:9 landscape photos cropped to fit full screen in iOS 9

Thanks jiiwee. This is very irritating and wholly unnecessary! I have submitted feedback to Apple, reporting this as a bug, as surely it can't be intentional?!

Hope not, but you never know about Apple these days. Wish that people submit actively feedback about this.

Yesterday I upgraded to iOS 9.1 with the hope that Apple is already aware of this bug and it will be fixed, but unfortunately the photos are still cropped.

I just spent an hour on the phone with Apple support. This is the way the Photos app works with IOS9, and there is no way to work around it. I suggest everyone lodge a complaint at apple.com/feedback. As far as I'm concerned this makes the iPad completely useless for any serious photographer.
