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 (https://www.androidauthority.com/android-16-magic-portrait-favorite-wallpapers-3560783/), 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.
