– Which will tell you what the OP posted.
Here’s what I did for my son earlier this week:
* Adjust the photo so it looks good – curves, sharpen, blur the background, etc
* Select the Crop tool (C). At the top of the screen specify 2 inches wide and 2 inches high.
* Crop so that the face height (not width) is a little more than half the total height, and the eyes are about 2/3 of the way up.
* Save. You now have one passport photo, but you should have 4; 2 to get the passport and 2 to take with you in case you need a replacement, for visa, etc. The spares are free, so make them.
* Enlarge the canvas to twice the height and twice the width so that you have room for 4 copies of the photo. Should be 4 inches square. Enlarge from one corner, not from the middle.
* Use Ctrl-J three times to make 3 more copies of the picture, each on its own layer.
* Drag the three new layers, one at a time, into position. * Ctrl-shift-E to flatten
* Print
