very confused - you say that the photo has to be 2x2 and the head size 1. something yet you crop the entire photo to 1x1 --how does this make it a 2x2 photo and make head size correct ???? I know im missing something but your definitely not explaining it right with the crop stuff .

@dustlessfloorsanding You are misunderstanding Lightroom. The image must be square. The preset for this is the aspect ratio 1:1. The final size in inches doesn't appear until you export or print the image. When you crop, you crop to a ratio-not a size. Ratios are best expressed in whole numbers ie. 1:1. This is the crop. The size doesn't exist until output and then is dependent upon the settings in the dialog.

@FleetingGlimpseImage - thank you I found that out --I'm a rookie with lightroom --just got it --How do you make the template --toying with that now . Cant seem to get 2 2x2 on a 4x6 --wants to put them on 8x11 . I saw your website -you take great pics --I'm planning on attending some classes to learn my camera -I bought a Epl-1 with a 20 mm pani lens --takes great pics but I want to be able to dial em in -before I upgrade.

@dustlessfloorsanding Try the Print Setup on the Lower Left side and change the paper size...

Thank you so much for this video. I did both my son's and daughter's passports using your template and instructions... worked like a charm!

The Reason for the strict regulations are so they can trace and track you using Photo Recognition software. They scan your picture into a world wide database and store it. They force you to get a passport to leave our country or go to another country. They save all the travelers into a main database that they can run searches on. TOTAL WORLD CONTROL is the goal! The end of the world is coming people! GET READY!

Perfect! I was just trying to find the perfect crop (while using Lightroom), and found this video. The print advice was an added bonus... and the template, priceless.

Thanks!
