Passport Photo Studio Software
Vittoria Pretlow
Passport Photo Studio makes it easy to create and print unlimited passport photos from home. Simply stand in front of a light background and use your digital camera to take a photo. The software then makes it extremely simple to size, adjust and print a picture that meets official requirements for the USA or United Kingdom.
