If you want to take a closer look at your drawing, you can zoom in. This is done by placing two fingers and moving them in a pinching motion. This allows you to zoom in as well as out.
 
 
 
Please note that if you pinch the image, you will resize it instead of the wallpaper. 
 
Zoom out so you can see the entire wallpaper.

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will explore the select tool and ways to zoom, rotate, duplicate, and transform an image and a drawing.

First we will take a look at the select tool. As we have seen in previous tutorials, the select tool allows you to move objects. You can also use the select tool to freely rotate and resize items.

Zoom and Rotate

Zoom

  1. Select an image from your camera roll. Camera-roll.png Drag the image to the wallpaper.
