You can scroll to another photo if you’re zoomed in, but it takes much more work to get there because the iPad thinks you’re trying to pan. For faster scrolling, return the photo to its normal size and then scroll.

Adding an existing photo to a contact

You can assign a photo to a contact in two ways: Straight from a photo album or through the Contacts app.

First, here’s how you assign a photo from a photo album:

1. Tap Photos in the Home screen. The Photos app appears.

2. Locate the image you want to use and tap it. The Photos app opens the photo and reveals the photo controls.

3. Tap the Actions button. The Actions button is the arrow that appears on the right side of the menu bar. If you don’t see it, tap the screen to reveal the controls. The Photos app displays a list of actions you can perform.

4. Tap Assign to Contact. A list of all of your contacts appears.

5. Tap the contact you want to associate with the photo. The Move and Scale screen appears.

6. Drag the image so it’s positioned on the screen the way you want.

7. Pinch or spread your fingers over the image to set the zoom level you want.

8. Tap Use. iPad assigns the photo to the contact and returns you to your photo album.

To assign a photo using the Contacts app, follow these steps:

1. On the Home screen, tap the Contacts icon to open the Contacts app.

2. Tap the contact to which you want to add a photo. Your iPad displays the contact’s Info screen.

3. Tap Edit to put the contact into Edit mode.

4. Tap Add Photo and then, if you have a third-generation iPad or an iPad 2, tap Choose Photo. Your iPad displays a list of photo albums, events, and faces.

5. Tap the album, event, or face that contains the photo you want to use.

6. Tap the photo you want. The Move and Scale screen appears.

7. Drag the image so it’s positioned on the screen the way you want.

8. Pinch or spread your fingers over the image to set the zoom level you want.

9. Tap Use. iPad assigns the photo to the contact and returns you to the Info screen.

10. Tap Done. Your iPad exits Edit mode.

Saving a photo from an e-mail message

If someone sends you a nice photo in an e-mail message, you might want to save it to your iPad so you can check it out whenever you want, assign it to a contact, sync it to your computer, and so on. Follow these steps to save a photo from an e-mail message:

1. On the Home screen, tap Mail. The Mail app appears,

2. Tap the mailbox that contains the photo message. The Mail app opens the mailbox.

3. Tap the message that contains the photo. Your iPad opens the message for viewing.

4. Tap and hold the image. Mail displays a list of actions you can perform for the image.

5. Tap Save Image. If the message contains multiple images and you want to save them all, tap Save X Images (where X is the number of images in the message). Your iPad saves the image (or images) to the Photo app’s Saved Photos album.
