What is BOWP?
 
guelphmm, you can also upload a scanned copy of the photograph.

This is what CIC expects when you scan a photograph.

Dimensions:

· The final frame size of the photo must be at least 35 mm x 45 mm (1 3/8" x 1 ¾").

· The photographs must show the full front view of the head, with the face in the middle of the photograph, and include the top of the shoulders.

· The size of the head, from chin to crown, must be between 31 mm (1 ¼") and 36 mm (1 7/16").

· Digital dimensions are often expressed in pixels or DPI (dots per inch). The physical dimensions in pixels must be at least 420 x 540.

Quality/Resolution:

· If an existing photo is being scanned, the minimum resolution must be 600 pixels per inch.

File Format:

· The file may be submitted in JPEG or JPEG2000 format.

File Size:

· The final size of the image should be ideally 240 kB (kilobytes), but not less than 60 kB.

Colour:

· The image must be in color (24 bits per pixel) in sRGB colour space which is the common output for most digital cameras.
