tried and failed

[L.Culley]

hey guys, been trying for days to sort this out and am coming to a deadline, so im asking for help.
Ive been trying to crop and re-size these 2 images to standard passport size, I need 5 of image 1 and 1 of image 2, is anyone able to possibly help with this?
i want to print it on a standard size print, 6x4, 7x5, or whatever is required to squeeze the images on...
if anyone is able to help please pm me and I will give you my personal e-mail address. sorry for being a pain but this really is a last resort.

Like this? These are on a single 6 x 4 background. If you just drag+drop that, you should be able to print it at the right size.

thats bloody brilliant mate. so I print it as a 6x4 and they all come out passporty one question though, is the single picture a different size to the rest or is it me?

Is this what you meant. A passport image is 2X2" so I created a white background of 4x4 and added the two images to the white workspace.

Hi Darren, I think 2"x2" is a little large, I am under the impression passport photos are
35mm x 45mm ..??

Ok I resize the images to 45mm on the longest sides and 35mm on the narrowest. I the created the 6x4 inch work space and dragged and dropped them on to it. This file will the print onto 6x4 paper and the images should be passport size.

If thats right then you can not resize the images to match as the people look adnomal.

I think they have to be cropped to that size then re-sized. but, I believe i have got it sorted now. thanks guys for all your help.

No need to crop just resize image.
I edited them the wrong way around. once I sorted it they look ok

Dunno! I didn't think I'd altered the crop size when doing it, but it was a rush job done on a lap-top. Simple enough to re-do if it's wrong - give me a shout if necessary; I'll be around this afternoon. And there are plenty of others who will be willing to help.

To add:

Just measured them and they are the same size. What we have here, people, is a variant of the Müller-Lyer illusion

Just a point, are they actually being used on a passport because I don't think they'd do.

But in doing so you've distorted them.

The originals had an aspect ratio of 3:2 = 1.500, but now they're 45:35 = 1.286.

:shrug:

they are definitely different sizes on my screen...

In post 2 they are different sizes, but in post 6? they are the same size.

 

[arad85]

In post #2, the images have been cropped.

 

[StewartR]

In post #2, the images have been cropped.

And in post #6, they haven't been cropped, which means they're distorted.
