Title: Some photography advice please
Post by: Vamps on 22 September 2012, 20:51:44
I need a passport size photo to send on line to be added to a document as ID

My question is, I can take a photo and put it on the laptop, and I realise that I can change the size, I think I can work that part out but what size is a passport photo?

Thanks

To change DPI I think you need suitable software installed Mike. :-\

Paint shop pro 6 is brilliant for stuff like this, google it you may well find a free download as it is old software now, plus corel have bought them out and redeloped it all quite a bit now.
