Steps to make your own passport or visa picture

If you need to renew your passport or get a visa, then you will need a picture.
You can easily pay to get this picture taken, or you can pretty easily make one on your own.

Here are the steps I took:

1. I had my picture taken with a digital camera.  
2. Connected the camera to my Mac.
3. Used iPhoto to import the image off of the camera and then to export the image to a jpg file.
4. Used http://www.idphoto4you.com/?Target=DownloadPage to create four 2 inch x 2 inch images placed in a 4x6 inch area.
5. Verified that the image looks ok and follows all the rules set in - http://travel.state.gov/_res/flash/cropper/FIG_cropper.html#.
6. Downloaded the image.
7. Uploaded the image to Walgreens photo site.  
8. The final cost was less than 40 cents.
