Some helpful tips for taking a photo
| Here are a few tips for getting the best out of your digital camera for Photo ID Cards. - Finished photo size should be approx 100-200kb - Head & shoulders is ideal (or ensure that Head & shoulders are at least 2/3 of the picture). Cropping is available in the IDSnap software. - Aim for a mid-tone of any colour on a non-reflective wall, not glass or too dark or busy, e.g., mid-grey or mid-blue. See the photo below. |

| - Use the same background for consistency of photos. - Photos that look yellow are due to taking photos under ordinary domesc lighng/light bulbs. A straightforward solution is using flash, which cleanses the yellow cast. Flash from about 2 metres so you don't white out the face. - Avoid fussy backgrounds. Please keep it simple - Make sure that there is even lighting on the face; avoid dark shadows - Good luck & smile; they always smile back! |
