    I got my pix back and I had used only a 1.9 megapixel camera. The results are excellent. So is the case with other 4x6 and 6x8 prints i have ordered at other free bee sites

    I think they have been overloaded with the requests which they never expected
    I wanted to thankyou a million times but its a shame that I can press the button just once :T

    I had 2 spare passport photos which I scanned and emailed to them-quality was identical.

    Hats off to this company. I would use them again.

    I took the photos using my digital camera and then took the CD to the photo centre - 6 passport size photos for 60p. Make sure the photograph is taken in accordance with required standard i.e. against white, cream or ligth gray background, not too close of far etc etc.

    The new passport regs are for an 18% density backgound any colour except white which obviously is not 18% density

    It is all to do with the new biometric system in the USA altho I hear today that has been put on hold,and also the passport agency are still accepting pics from the old regulations but dont quote me on that
  • Nice post mp7125. I've actually printed several Passport Photos for different family members with my own Digital Camera and my local Tesco's touch-screen Digital Photo centre. What you do is take your picture on a CD, your memory card or whatever, then put it in machine, select your photo, then there is an option (quite hard to find actually) that lets you print out 6 Passport Photos on a sheet of 6x4.5" paper....instead of one full size photo on a sheet of 6x4.5" paper. I still can't find the menu option to do this myself, so I always ask the lady on the Photo Processing desk to do it for me!!!

    You then just pay for one single photo on 6x4.5" paper which costs 14p ...it says you will get it printed within the hour, but the Photo Processing never seems to be busy so its usually done for me within 10mins or so.

    Hope this helps - Mark.
