Re: Passport size photo

[celia]

This year i need a re-new a passport size photo.but i am not having any more taken by those machins.The last one i had updated my face turned out green I got my money back though I want to take my own with my camera this time. I have taken a few in the past and they are good actually. How do i get them to passport size though. I read somewhere that if you change the size to 4 B 6 then transfare  8 of them onto A4  glossy photo paper.They automatically reduce to Passport size to fit the paper.Is that right, if so i can do that.My friend got her son to take her  photo last year then re-sized  it and it was excepted,more and more people are doing this.who wants to pay nearly four pounds for a photo that looks like it is for a prison record

Celia, a word of good advice .. get it done properly. It's worth every penny of the cost not to have it rejected. I wish my son was here to have a word with you, he had problems only a fortnight ago.

Not what you wanted to hear, I'm sorry !

My Photo isn't for a passport in fact it looks smaller on my card  (Credit card size) you can just about see the top of my shoulders.It was taken in a photo shop in town you can see a lot less of me than you can on the photo machine ones

Les I have looked at the websites one is American so no use as i am in England.Not sure if i could manage the second I like easy

lol i gave you the 2nd link so you could have the sizes to alter for the first,
as Pels said if you struggle with them might be safer to get an "official" one done

just to add you may want to read this first and THEN decide

Hello Celia

As long as you can print out a clear photo set to the guidelines  that is no bigger than 3.5cm x 4.5cm there shouldn't be a problem.

I think the sizing sheet you are referring to are not the correct size.   You'll have to have adequate resizing software to change the size of the photo.

Hope this helps

OH and I went to Jessops and had our photos taken.  As cheap as the booths and they were exactly as decreed by the passport bureaucrats.  OH always looks really funny as the bureaucrats decree the background has to be white and as he has white hair ..........

What would happen if he had dyed it brown since the last passport photo

I have now been in to my Lexmark All in one centre which i use a lot.I allways install the printer disk because you can do anything with your photos you want.It also saves downloading  from the net. I did know and have done,put different photos on a A4 or 4 By 6 card. So I found the part and found Passport size,so for practice i found a photo of me i took myself Head and shoulders. Then put four of the same on A4 should have been 4B6 but no matter its only practice   The photo is brilliant,i have another 2 months before i need a new photo.so will get son to take one of me and ask the office if its acceptable.I just want to do this for my own curiosity and i would prefare not to have a green face and  look like i have chicken pox

Not likely, he's had white hair since he was about 30.  His mother's hair went white when she was about 21.  However, none of our children have white hair, although some are going grey.
