how do i put external pics onto my wallpaper?

[ericanewro]

Hi all.  I have a picture on an external source (my pc) that I want to put onto my phone and use it as my main wallpaper.  I emailed the picture to me and can access the picture via email on the phone but that's as far as I got.  Help.  Thanks.

You have to save the file from the email by pressing and holding image and select "Save Image" and then you can open gallery and view image and press left menu and select More and Set As / Wallpaper.

Photo ill be saved to SD Card / Messages...

Thanks.  I was able to figure that out.  But what about changing size of the picture?  My picture has 4 people in it and when I load it as the wall paper, it's too big so only two in the middle show up.  any ideas how to change size of pic?

I do not see you fitting all of them on one screen without modifing the photo because of the resolutiion, I am guessing the photo was shot in landscape mode and th imge wont fit a landscape image on a portrait resolution.

Thats like fitting a square in a rectangle...
