Setting photos as wallpaper

Each time I choose a photo from my gallery to make a wallpaper it gets enlarged and distorted. Is there a way to set a photo as wallpaper without zooming in?

The only way to set the photo as a wallpaper will be by cropping the picture. Here are the steps to set your photo as a wallpaper.


 

  • From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
  • Touch Settings.
  • Touch Display. 
  • From the Display settings section, touch Wallpaper settings.
  • Touch one of the following options:
  • Live wallpapers
  • Media gallery
  • Wallpapers
  •  Touch the preferred wallpaper image then touch Set wallpaper.
  •  If selecting a photo from the Media gallery, touch the appropriate gallery then touch the preferred photo.
  • If presented, position the crop frame over the desired area of the photo then touch Save.

I am also having this problem... i just followed the instructions... I increased the width of the crop box and then hit save and now the photo is huge... I didnt do the zoom in that the crop box can do.

 

What am I doing wrong?  I have also tried leaving the default size crop box.

I provided some information below that may help.

 

1 . Ensure that when you are setting the picture as your wallpaper, that you are stretching the orange box around the picture all the way out. If not, the wallpaper will center on a smaller portion of the picture making it oversized and pixilated.

2) Ensure the image is at least 480 x 854 (the size of the Droid 2’s screen) and make sure that you have a good
resolution. The more pixels per inch you have the sharper the image will be. If you have an image that is too small, it will appear pixilated and distorted once it is applied as a wallpaper. 

 

**If you are using your camera, it is recommend to set the image sizes to Large(5mp), or for best results Widescreen(6mp). To change the camera settings, you can follow the instructions below:

 

-Select the Applications arrow

 

-Select Camera

 

-Select Menu

 

-Select Settings

 

-Select Picture Resolution

 

-Select the desired resolution
