Passport Photos

Anyone have any tips on how, when , why you can create
passport photos with which Graphics app that works best?
I am not having any luck getting the right size to fit
the passport application.

To achieve a particular size without
distorting the image, you must "Crop"
a portion the size you need. Imagine
cutting out a particular size with scissors...

If you download the freeware FastStone
Image Viewer...and install it...you can
open your image in the program and go
to...Edit / Crop Board...

On the Crop Board screen, you will see
a button below the image with three dots
on it...if you click it you will see a menu
of sizes to choose from. If the size you
need is not present, you can add it. Then
click OK. Now you can left click/drag the
corners of the selection box to frame the
portion of the image you wish to keep.
And you can reposition the box by
dragging the 4 way arrow.

When you are happy with the selection ...
click the Crop button.

Now...File / save As...choose a save
location / enter a name / click...save.

There are two parts to the problem: the photo must be *cropped* to make
the face the correct size when the photo is printed the correct size.
This usually means that the face must be about 1/2 the height of the
cropped photo.

Then the photo must be *printed* the correct size, as specified by the
State Department.

Most printing programs will let you choose the exact size in inches
of the output print.

Try it next time. ;-)
