Change the wallpaper your iPad uses

iPad wallpaper

The iPad comes pre-stocked with several gorgeous high-resolution photos - mostly of nature scenes and textured patterns to use as background images for both the Lock and Home screens. If you want to change these background images to spice things up, you can assign new photos in two ways.

The first would be to go to the Home screen and tap Settings, then Brightness & Wallpaper. Tap the right Wallpaper icon. On the next screen, select a photo from some of your photo albums, or tap Wallpaper to choose a new Apple stock shot. Tap the photo you want to use. You can drag the image around and finger-pinch and spread to contract or enlarge the various components of the picture you want to display.

When you're done, tap the appropriate button at the top. You've your choice of Set Lock Screen, Set Home Screen, or Set Both. You can also bail out having a Cancel button in the left corner.

The 2nd way to wallpaper your 'Pad would be to pick a picture from one of the iPad's photo albums and tap the at the top of the screen, then tap the Save as Wallpaper option.

You can size and save the photo using the methods mentioned above. Whichever way you choose to change it, there's nothing like fresh new wallpaper to personalize your iPad - and show off your own photography.

The iPad as a picture frame

The iPad does resemble a digital picture frame. And if you really want one of those, you can turn its Lock screen into a 10-inch window that displays your photo collection, a pleasing diversion as the iPad recharges from the wall outlet.

Go to the Home screen and tap Settings, then Picture Frame.Select the type of transition between photos you need to use - either the traditional Hollywood-style "Dissolve" or Apple's new foldy-paper "Origami" animation. At the bottom of the Settings screen, pick the album of images you want to use - or just let the iPad grab all of the photos you added to it.

To test out your framed slideshow, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn off the iPad screen and press it again to get to the Lock screen. Tap the little flower icon next to the lock slider to begin the slideshow. If you want to pause the pictures, tap the iPad's screen. You can either swipe the slider to unlock the iPad and go back to work, or tap the flower icon again to resume the show.
