Thank you for this video! This was the clearest walkthrough for passport photo editing I've seen!

Thanks, i found this really useful

Ty !

Your welcome

Awesome!!! Thank you 🎉

Genuine question, aren’t passport photos supposed to be 2x2? How does a 4x6 work?

Idk if you can change colors

Having trouble getting my passport photo to be less than 4.5 1:14 MB?

Perfecto! You went through the nitty gritty details that makes it very easy to get this done. Thank you!

for some reason I was not able to do the levels slider to brighten the back only for the image.

great explanation! Thanks for the help.

this is so helpful! I haven't used Photoshop for almost 20 years and your tutorial is so easy to follow. It worked like a charm!

I used this tutorial to simulate a 4x6 image so that i can use that image as a standard walmart print instead of paying $8 for their official passport print layout. such a life hack!

not right for on the top to chin, keep show on 217mm ???

Amazing tutorial. Exactly what I needed.

Hi Gretchen, I am having some trouble with my photo, for some reason the size of the image is too big, and the measure of my head in mm is huge!!. I haven't been able to get a really good version of it to print :( . Any suggestions?. Thank you!

Any idea about printing?

Thanks!!!

Directions says no selfie but we can still take it? Using a camera pod? This is to apply for first time U.S Passport.

How were you able to print it to 2x2 for passport application submit? I only see option for 4x6

This will be important once the state department unveils its new online passport renewal system. Only works for those who are renewing a passport book (no card). No name or gender changes will be allowed with the online system either. Photo has to be a 2x2 compliant jpeg. Currently online renewals are for the govt employees or contractors but will soon be open to public.

thank you

Hi, I have a picture of my toddler on my phone but the background is not white do you have an app that you would recommend so that I can edit the background?

Would you please tell me what is the software you use and can work for a laptop/ Windows 11 ?

I was paid peanuts for a baptism and the mother in law was asking me to do this to her dress and I said NO!! She then went on to say I was not a Pro.

Thank you so much for this video, it was very helpful with my editing.

What if her dress has a pattern?

Thanks for making it so simple :-)

at 1:10 when i hit ok, it does not keep the marching ants to then adjust the background.

thank you so much this was perfect!

nice lesson Thank you

nice lesson Thank you

Absolutely Fantastic. Was able to maintain the resolution and this method worked flawlessly.

Great tutorial but I'm having one problem. When I copy and paste to a new document the image is reduced by about 1/8 in so its no longer 2 in X 2 in. What am I doing wrong?

Hey , I just want to say, I came here back and want to thank you for the video. What could have costed me $60 for 16 passport photos I needed became a fraction of it. Thank you for such a great video. I have liked and subscribed your video and looking for more great content.

Really nice work; thanks for the tut!

I'm afraid this was very confusing to me. I'm not familiar w/ Photoshop & you went way too fast for me to follow!

hello , my photo size between hair to chin is 42mm ,it over 31mm how can i fix it,thanks

You're really good! What a lucky husband..

Thank you! Incredibly helpful!

Very informative and helpful. Visafoto is a great platform for homemade passport photos. Visafoto is an online editor which makes passport photos from selfies. The ready photos you upload to electronic forms of visas, passports, driving and other documents. Or you can print them. visafoto.com/usps-passport-photo

Thanks, how to cut the photos with trimmer ? If we don't have handle cutter tools.

This is awesome. I have quite a few great captures that rival some of the presets.

Thank you so much! I have curly hair so it was challenging to select around it but overall, this worked very well. I took my own photo and printed myself after the disastrous results by a local Walgreens....never again (yikes, greenish hair is not mine)!

Not everyone can access Photoshop for an app that take the picture and sends it directly in.

Thank you. Appreciate the tips I used a free PP app & took my own photo with an iphone 7. No special lighting or technique, just held out my arms & clicked until I got one I could live with for 10 yrs. I will never again pay a drugstore that calls the guy who makes keys to take a picture that costs $15 and looks like a disaster. What a racket $$$.

Than you !

Please give me this video real image and also give me this edit passport JPEG image file.. Share this 2 image Google drive link.

Can also try object/quick select > select subject > select & mask > refine hair > refine edge tool, for the initial face selection.

Thanks Gretchen for Sharing this!!
