If you've got XP, then it will do it itself using the photo printing wizard...

Passport size is not one of the options in the XP programme

Load them into Word and use the handles to resize the picture.

Tip - hold down shift while resizing to maintain picture proportions.

Are you sure it's not "contact print"? It looks about the right size.

if you go and try and print something from my pictures it will give you the option of how you want it printed , full page , etc , or at least it should

Thanks, I never knew that, probably because I`ve always used a third party prog to print pics

your recommendation for Irfanview would allow them to do that - on a batch basis afaik

Hi All,
would just add that the Passport Agency do a digital scan of photo's and it has to be just right.I sent some I'd done myself and they sent them back.Went to Tesco's and took some on the machine and they were accepted.I don't know the pro's and cons but it was a nuisance.
George.
