Hi Everyone,

I received ITA recently. I believe there is a requirement for uploading digital photos. Can someone shed light on the spec and who can take the photographs? Are there any professional places that specialize in this? Also, is it okay to take a physical photo and then scan it through mobile and upload it?

Hi, in the USA we are not getting digital photos, I got the printed copies and when I scanned them, the dpi is 300 and the resolution in pixels is 603X843. But the scanned size is not 50x70 mm even though the actual photo is. How can I correct it? Also how to make the dpi 600? Please help.

You can click these yourself against white background and then get those cut to size using websites like idphotos4u.com
Over there you can control the resolution, or download from there and then change the resolution in MS Paint (Windows) yourself. It is pretty easy.
