Hello, Im currently in the middle of applying for an OWP via an Online Application and Im a little confused as to how I should scan my little passport picture for them ???
This is the guide they give you when you press the help button:
Document: Digital Photo
Close
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.
Now do I just scan my little picture into my computer complete with the huge blank background or do I need to crop it down? I put the picture on an orange background and cropped it down but the size of the file was like 9kb so it was too small so I scanned in the whole thing including blank background and it just looks silly.
I hope this makes sense and any help is much appreciated.
