digital photo requirements

[bkbk8]

Hi all, for the Express Entry Digital Photo Requirements, I have already taken two photo of size 35mm x 45mm as per the requirements and scanned the front and back of the photo (placed in the middle of a scanner, A4 size, JPEG).

When scanned, do I need to cut the A4 page edges and bring it down to the photo size? I am not sure i understand the below requirements. I scanned it with 600ppi but don't understand how the "digital dimensions" of 420 x 540 below relate to the photo itself in terms of size. Am I to submit two different photos in different scans? please if someone had gone through the process of explaining what exactly needs to be done, I'd highly appreciate any help and clarity.


Referencing the requirements below:


Frame size

• The final frame size of the photo must be at least 35mm x 45mm.
• The photographs must show a full front view of the head and tops of shoulders, with the face in the middle of the photograph.
• The size of the head, from chin to crown, must be between 31mm and 36mm.
• Digital dimensions are often expressed in pixels or DPI (dots per inch). The physical dimensions in pixels must be at least 420 x 540.

Quality/resolution
If an existing photo is being scanned, the minimum resolution must be 600 pixels per inch.
File format

• The file may be submitted in JPEG or JPEG2000 format.
• The final size of the image should ideally be 240 kB (kilobytes), but not less than 60 kB.
• The image must be in colour (24 bits per pixel) in RGB colour space, which is the common output for most digital cameras.

In your case, yes, crop the photo from the A4 paper.
To get the right pixel size, use online software to resize the photo to the required size. Just google "picture pixel resize online" and you'll find plenty of online software that can help you with that.

Did you also write your info on the back of the photo? Are you going to scan in a single pdf file because the upload section has only one space for each required document?

No, I did not. I believe that's only required for your CoPR. For PR, you only need to upload one side of the digital photo with the specified requirements.
