      Better than selling cocaine.
      They are literally the monopoly in the market for passport photos

  This is a useful hint for some, but it equals to "Nando's family dinner for $10" by buying a chicken and sides at a store and cooking everything yourself.

  Those who already have a setup, confidence and time to take such photo already have been using this "deal".

  Those who don't are risking their homemade photos being rejected, which - even by the comments here - is pretty common.

  I've done it myself for kid's passports where getting them along to the post office was too much of a pain.
  Actually getting the lighting and background and lack of shadows correct is quite a pain though, then the time to get the sizing right, and print. Even though I have a suitable printer at home that is effectively free. For my own passport just doing it at the post office while submitting is well worth the price.

    What my point was right above your comment…

    Just emphasising that as I know there are photography masters here who have done that before and they succeeded, but there's this aforementioned list of caveats.

    Nice! When using makepassportphoto, what paper size do you select?

        Yeah, I only see inch sizes like 6x4.

        All good, I see Kmart 4x6" (10x15cm) Print

  Used Makepassportphoto and printed at Officeworks the other day for my mum, worked fine, although I did end up printing 3 times because the head was too close to the 36mm limit.

  Some tips with Makepassportphoto:

  • The ellipse is the maximum size for the head. Just to be safe, I would suggest aligning the top of the ellipse to be slightly higher than the crown of the head (maybe 2mm).
  • Turn up the brightness until the background turns white (or close to), but at the same time, don't make the face too bright.
  • Add a bit of saturation (like 10-20%) as the colours from the Officeworks printers seem to be a bit duller than what's shown on the screen.
  • After printing, use a ruler to make sure the length between chin and crown is within limits (ie. 32mm - 36mm).
  • If you need to reprint, you can do this on your phone and try again while you're at Officeworks.
