Thank you for this video! This was the clearest walkthrough for passport photo editing I've seen!
Absolutely Fantastic. Was able to maintain the resolution and this method worked flawlessly.
Perfecto! You went through the nitty gritty details that makes it very easy to get this done. Thank you!
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)!
Amazing tutorial. Exactly what I needed.
great explanation! Thanks for the help.
Awesome!!! Thank you 🎉
This was very helpful! Thanks you!!
I’m so glad this was helpful!! 😀
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!
That makes me so happy to hear!!
thank you so much this was perfect!
You’re so welcome!!
Thanks!!!
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 $$$.
Glad it worked out for you!!! Save that $$ =)
Thank you! Incredibly helpful!
You're so welcome!! :)
@Louie River Thank you, signed up and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it!!
@Forrest Quinton Happy to help xD
excellent tutorial
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed!!
Your welcome
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.
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!
for some reason I was not able to do the levels slider to brighten the back only for the image.
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?
Any idea about printing?
Directions says no selfie but we can still take it? Using a camera pod?
This is to apply for first time U.S Passport.
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!
Thanks, how to cut the photos with trimmer ? If we don't have handle cutter tools.
Hi Murtaza! I usually carefully use scissors. Do you have those available? Or an exato knife could work as well!
Idk if you can change colors
not right for on the top to chin, keep show on 217mm ???
Would you please tell me what is the software you use and can work for a laptop/ Windows 11 ?
I use photoshop for all of my editing work. I’m sure there are tons of other programs available but I’m only familiar with photoshop :)
Having trouble getting my passport photo to be less than 4.5 1:14 MB?
Not everyone can access Photoshop for an app that take the picture and sends it directly in.
Great tip! Thanks!
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.
Thanks for the feedback!!! Have a great day!! =)
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?
Hi Clifford! I’m not sure why it’s shrinking. One thing that comes to mind is if you are cropping it 2x2 @ 200 pixels per inch (for example) and then copying and pasting onto a 4x6 that is at 300 PPI that could cause it to be a bit smaller.
Check to make sure both your crop settings and your new document are at the same PPI (ideally 300) and if that doesn’t solve it you’re welcome to email your 2x2 to me at Gretchen@gretchenotero.com and I’ll take a look and email you back a ready to print 4x6!

I tried to make passport pictures but face is too big
Can u help me
how would you eliminate shadows from the picture?
You can select the background and shadow and paint it with a white brush! If you need help you can email the photo to me at Gretchen@GretchenOtero.com
@@GretchenOteroPhotography Thanks a lot.
Genuine question, aren’t passport photos supposed to be 2x2? How does a 4x6 work?
You take your 2x2 cropped image and paste it onto a 4x6 sheet for easy printing, and then you trim it once it's printed =)
How were you able to print it to 2x2 for passport application submit? I only see option for 4x6
I copy and paste the 2x2 image I made onto a new document that is 4x6. I add a light grey stroke to the outside so I can see the edge. Then I print it as a 4x6 and cut out the 2x2. I usually put 2 on the 4x6 just in case I mess up the first one when I trim it.
@@GretchenOteroPhotography thanks. I will try this out
hello , my photo size between hair to chin is 42mm ,it over 31mm how can i fix it,thanks
Hi Angela! I just saw your comment. To get your head smaller you'll either have to take the photo from a further distance or crop it less! Let me know if you're still struggling!
@@GretchenOteroPhotography I'm having this problem, my daugther hail is too high, so can i measure from the top of her scalp not including the haior i have to measure from the top of her hair?
I'm afraid this was very confusing to me. I'm not familiar w/ Photoshop & you went way too fast for me to follow!
You're really good! What a lucky husband..
Please give me this video real image and also give me this edit passport JPEG image file.. Share this 2 image Google drive link.
Hi Lamia! I’d love to help, but I’m not quite sure what you’re asking for. Do you need help making a US passport photo?
@@GretchenOteroPhotography please give me your usa passport photo psd file
You’ll have to take your own photo :) I can’t share a photo of myself for your passport :)
