Comment on Make Your Own Passport Size Photos (using GIMP) by BFRS

Hi Venkat,

I tried using GIMP to format my passport photos, but it seemed too much of a hassle, downloading and installing the program and figuring out how to use it.

So I decided to put my little knowledge of computer vision to some good use and solved the problem of formatting passport photos once and for all using face detection. It works great and you can check the results at http://freepassportphoto.dyndns.org/

Your article ranks high in the Google search results, and hopefully Page-Rank will think more of my web app if you recommend it. If you like it, please include a link to it in the references for your article.

Thanks,
BFRS

Hey just wanted to say THANKS!! your tutorial saved me $50!! It was well written and easy to follow. Passport photos around here go for $10 for 2, and I needed a bunch for some USCIS applications that I am doing.

Thanks again!

Buried one/both parents?

Things to do before I am thirty, I hope my parents will last well past my thirty’s, get a chance to see the grand children, maybe even great grand children. Think this is one I won’t ever want to accomplish.

I wonder how many people actually accomplished all their goals? I did hear of one guy who did before he reached 30yo. Last I heard he became a motivational speaker and is now making the big bucks!…lol…
