JL,
I agree the picture is more than outdated.
It's from 1947. Proportions are correct due to my new tool.
The problem was I couldn't find a tool helping me to make a standardized
pictures of an individual in a very short time.
Most programs work with pixel or percentage. That means needing a calculator
everytime.
My experience was that Legacy works with a format which is very like the
European passport format 35mm x 45mm but there is no information in Leagcy
saying what they use.
BTW. The present US format is 2" x 2" or 50.8mm x 50.8mm which doesn't fit in
Legacy at all.
Why customize my printer when I can only choose in Legacy the picture options
small
medium
large
custom pic. area and can only change the width.
BTW. The first three options sound like ordering a beer ;-).
I try to use standards as they make life easier and the best is when they fit in
Legacy.
Perhaps you understand me now.
Bernhard

OK, I'm lost for sure. Why does it matter that pictures are an exact mm
measurement for Legacy? Surely not for passports themselves? The attached photo
is a little outdated for passports. As long as the proportions are correct they
can be printed to an exact mm size; just customize your printer settings.
Anyway, glad he found what he was looking for.

is either that they deal in pixels& percentages, or if you're lucky, standard
email sizes etc. I'm with Bernie, I've yet to strike one that can do passport
sized cutouts from another photo easily. The closest I've come is actually by
using facebook and making a profile pic because fb then resizes to fit-most of
the time.
