passport photo at home<\/a>, and then sending it on to Paspic, here are some things you can do to your photo to make it more acceptable.<\/p>\n1. Shadows<\/h2>\n
Beware of shadows that can obscure your face\u2019s features. Shadows were used enthusiastically by passport fakers to disguise the fact that the passport was forged, which is why the authorities are so displeased by them. Aesthetically unflattering, a shadow is a sure-fire way to get your passport photo rejected. If you\u2019re able to adjust the contrast and brightness of your image using your photo editing software, you may be able to make them disappear. Don\u2019t go overboard though. It might be easier just to take your photo in a different location and try again.<\/p>\n
2. Blur<\/h2>\n
Unlike our passport photo booths<\/strong>, digital cameras are designed to focus in all sorts of different places, and unless you\u2019re very good at manipulating your camera\u2019s autofocus, or are competent with manual focus photography, you may find that the camera has focused on something else, meaning that your face, or even part of it, has come out looking blurry. This is a quick fix with your photo editing software though, as long as you can find the Sharpen function. As before, don\u2019t go over the top with it, as it can make your image quite grainy.<\/p>\n3. Overexposure<\/h2>\n
It sounds a bit controversial, but in fact, all it means is that there\u2019s too much light in your photo. Back in the old days when cameras took rolls of film, too much light entering the lens could damage the film\u2019s surface, ruining the photo. In the digital photography age, the cause is the same, but the result is a washed-out, bleached look to your photo. If it\u2019s not too badly washed out in appearance, you may be able to fix it using the brightness and contrast settings, or you could re-take the photo in a location that is not in direct sunlight.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re in any doubt whatsoever, leave it to the experts at PasPic.com. Our computer screens all incoming photos, and if necessary, refers them to a human being for a second manual check, so you\u2019ll receive our expert verdict before submitting them on to the authorities with your application.<\/p>\n

With so much negative press, Photoshop is seen as a bit of a bad guy in the photographic world. The headlines talk about how magazine editors have used it to airbrush blemishes and take inches off their cover girl\u2019s waist.
