Components
Muzei Live Wallpaper app is an application that changes the screen of your phone with live paintings or you can select images from your gallery to serve as home screen picture. When the images are applied as wallpapers, they recede to the background and are blurred and dimmed in order for you to be able to see the icons and widgets of the apps on your phone. The app is really easy and simple to use for any kind of user. However, this app does not allow users to be able to resize or adjust images at all. For instance, if you have a big picture which you'll like to fit to your phone screen in order to use as wallpaper, there is no way to do this. Hence, you're left with an unfit wallpaper image or painting. Secondly, inability to add more than one image at a time to the home screen is another issue that should be solved as most users would probably prefer to use more than one image as their home screen wallpaper. I definitely love to use up to three or four images as wallpaper on my phone.
Proposal
The ability for users to adjust, resize and crop images that are selected as wallpapers should be included in the app. During the selection of images or paintings to be used as wallpaper, their should be an option to crop or center the selected picture to the size the user wants before being used as wallpaper picture. The ability for users to select more than one image at a time should likewise be added for users who like multi images as their home screen.
Mockups / Examples

Benefits
The ability to adjust the positioning, resizing or centering of wallpapers will make it easy for users with different phone screen sizes to enjoy making use of the Muzei live wallpaper app to beautify their phones. Users will also be able to resize images according to the size they like. Having the multi-selection image feature for wallpapers will benefit users in that they'll be able to use different images on their home screens according to their choice or preference.
