Hi, I hope i'm in the right forum. I have a question about my pictures I take with my D3200. I'll take a whole bunch of pictures with my kids and then i load up a select few to my Ipad through the SD Card reader. When the pictures upload onto the Ipad, they look great (at least to me a beginner they do), but when I try to use the picture as a background on the Ipad, the picture is huge. For some reason, on the bottom of the IPad, it say perspective zoom on/off. Ill try both and the picture is still huge. Ex: I'll take a picture of my two boys with my dog in the middle of them, I'll upload it and the picture looks fine in the camera roll, but when I try to put it as a wallpaper, half of both boys are cut off. I dont know if this is an Apple thing or if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks for any help

This would be the wrong forum. However what you may want to try doing is resizing the picture for the web. Try resizing to about 640/480 pixels then go smaller if need be then try the few images on your ipad.

Here are the correct wallpaper resolutions for the iPad, resize your photos accordingly and this should fix the problem:

iPad Air, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad Mini with Retina display - 2048 x 1536

iPad 2, original iPad mini - 1028 x 768

Thanks for the responses, but can either if you tell me how to resize the picture? Do I need to download it to my PC first and then resize it? Or can I do it on the camera itself? Thanks again

You can choose a smaller size in the camera menu, but the smallest size is 3,008 x 2,000, and larger than you need.

I would think you could also resize it on the iPad, but someone familiar with the fruity brand will have to help.

It would be easy to resize in View NX2 via the convert menu, where you can specify exact pixel dimensions.
