TL;DR
- Google is updating Pixel Live Effects to finally let you adjust the position and scale of your wallpaper photos.
- You can now pan with one finger or zoom with two to frame your subject perfectly in the Shape and Weather tabs.
- We spotted this highly requested feature in the latest Android Canary build, so a Beta and Stable release will be coming in the future.
One of my favorite new Pixel features in recent months is Live Effects, a tool that lets you create stunning, personalized lock screen wallpapers. However, the feature currently has one glaring problem: you can’t adjust the position or scale of your photo! While the algorithm typically does a great job at isolating the main subject, it isn’t always perfect. Fortunately, Google is finally fixing this oversight by allowing you to pan and zoom on the photo you’re applying a Live Effect to.
