J

Jay

I am using a Lexmark 3in1 printer. I can print photo's from file but I cannot
get passport photo's right. They are either to big or small. What am I doing
wrong.

Solutions in easy to understand terms please. I am not in to computer lingo.

=========================================

You need to crop your image to 2x2"
and print it exactly that size....

The free program, FastStone Image
Viewer can do what you request.

FastStone Image Viewer
http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm

First you will have to download and
install the program.

Now, open the program and select
the picture you wish to create the
passport photo with. The selected
image will show in the bottom left of
your screen.

Now go to...Edit / Crop Board.

Click the "Define Paper Ratios" button.
(it's just to the right of the Paper Ratio
drop window)


Click the "Add" button and enter...2 x 2"
click...OK...

Open the "Paper Ratio" drop window
and select 2 x 2".

Left click / drag a box around the exact
portion of the image you wish to include
in your finished passport photo. You can
resize by dragging the corner handles
and reposition by dragging the 4-way
arrow. To finish...click the "Crop" button.

Now...go to...File / Print...

Open the "Size" drop window and choose
"Normal".

Click "Print".

MS Office Publisher is NOT (I'm yelling!) an image editing program.

The apostrophe in "didn't" goes after the n, not before it, as it is used in
place of omitted letters - and the "o" that has been omitted was between the
n and the t.

You have once again failed to use a question mark at the end of a question.

This newsgroup is for the discussion of Microsoft Publisher. If you are not
using Microsoft Publisher, why are you asking this question in a Publisher
newsgroup?

If you are, can you please read the page http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm
and take the page to heart? Then can you tell us what you've already tried?

The size of a standard passport photo varies, depending on what country you
are in.

You can use the Measurement Toolbar in Publisher to accurately resize
photographs. Note that this will stretch the proportions and make your
photograph look bad unless you crop. To access the Measurement toolbar,
right-click the standard toolbar and click Measurement.

Create a rectangle, resize it to the standard passport photograph size in
your country by using the Measurement toolbar. Position this so the
top-left corner is the requisite distance away from the top-left corner of
your face (I know that faces aren't rectangular, but it's easier to describe
that way). Hold the Shift key and drag the bottom-left corner of the
rectangle until it is the requisite distance away from the bottom-left
corner of your face. Now, select the photograph, and click Crop on the
Picture toolbar. Drag the crop handles until they snap to the rectangle,
and let go. Do this for each crop handle. Deselect and reselect the
picture to deactivate Crop, and use the Measurement toolbar to resize the
photograph to the standard passport photograph size. Delete the rectangle.
Make as many copies on your page as you want. You can do this with Copy and
Paste, or hold down Ctrl on your keyboard and click-and-drag your image.
Print.

Thank's a lot. Your the first that's come up with a civil reply.

Mike and Chuck's replies were perfectly civil, in my not so humble opinion.

Margolotta's (a.k.a Sarah Balfour's) response could have been a lot less
civil, although for a newsgroup newcomer it is not the warmest of welcomes.

In future, I would advise you to post to the correct newsgroup for the
product you are using; for general advice, use a general help forum (the
Microsoft groups are dedicated to individual products, as you may have
noticed). You wouldn't walk into a bank and ask for a mocha with whipped
cream.

And the bank wouldn't give you a flippant, borderline rude answer if you
asked for one.

The troll that takes up space speaks again. Go back to alienating people in

No - the tellers just look at you with that clueless look on their face.
I've learned that most people have absolutely no sense of humor. <sigh>

========================================
LOL! Reminds me of a sign I saw in a country store.

It said:

We have an agreement with the local bank.

We don't take checks and they don't sell groceries.

Yep, I'm one of them. I readily admit it. But I still get that "HUH?" look
when I am trying to make a joke with a stranger.

(If I can get a hint of a smile, I'm happy. It means that there is some hope
for mankind.)

Unless many words are required, and in this instance they were not, I tend
to be sparing with mine.. I do not consider it rude, more concise..

If you want flippant, I can do that.. I can also accommodate borderline rude
and plain mean.. your call..
