iOS 16 - Is there any way to save the lock screen wallpaper photo as edited for the screen?

Is there any way to save the lock screen wallpaper photo with "colour backdrop" effect? I don't seem to have the "colour backdrop" feature on the photo editing on iPhone SE 2022 or iMac so I can reproduce the effect in photos to be used elsewhere.

iPhone SE (Gen 3)

Hey there, myrtlemist,


You can find information on how to customize your Lock screen in the Apple Support resource Personalize your iPhone Lock Screen - Apple Support.


This user guide has all the currently available options you can change related to your Wallpaper and Lock screen. If there is something you'd like to see that is not currently available, you can provide your feedback here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple


Have a great day.

Thank you, I understand how to change and edit the lock screen. I may not have worded my query clearly.

As I liked the effect created by the “colour backdrop” option, I would like to have been able to use that edited photo elsewhere in the future (add the edited photo to Photos).

Are those wallpaper editing features available for use in normal photo editing on iphone (not just in the lock screen wallpaper?)

Screen shot of the lock screen will include the clock etc. which is not satisfactory.
