CNET Editors' review
The last time we had a passport made we ended up with one of those typical unattractive headshots from the local copy place. If you'd rather have a little more control over your passport photo--and we don't blame you, as you'll be stuck with it for a while--you might want to try Free passport photo software.
What you actually get with this program is not just a tool for correctly editing passport photos, but a whole suite of photo tools called CamToPrint. In addition to the passport tool, there are also utilities for creating photo albums, calendars, greeting cards, and collages. We only tried the passport feature, but the others may be worth checking out as well. The part of the program that handles passport photos is pretty simple. You select the image you want to use and the program helps center and crop it into the required size. There are also tools for rotating the image and adjusting the brightness and contrast. A drop-down menu lets you select whether you want to use United States or United Kingdom passport photo requirements, which are slightly different. We were disappointed that the "Show U.K. Passport Photo Requirements" button took us to the U.S. requirements instead; those in the U.K. will want to be on the lookout for this. Once you are satisfied that your photo meets the requirements, you can either print it directly from the program or save it to be printed professionally. Photos are saved or printed as one 4-by-6 image, with U.S. photos saved in sets of six and U.K. photos saved in sets of eight. The program doesn't have a Help file per se, but there is an online video tutorial that demonstrates its use. Overall, Free passport photo software doesn't have a ton of features, but it could be just what you need if you're looking for a quick way to ensure that your passport photo meets the necessary requirements.

"Comes with the worst malware ever: beware of Babylon"
Version: PassportPhoto 6.0
Pros
Great software for creating passport photos
Cons
I spent the better part of a day extracting Babylon toolbar and search engine from my system. It is designed to disallow removal. Best of all is the link that appears saying "Your computer is slow, click here to repair."

"Viruslike crapware"
Version: PassportPhoto 6.0
Pros
None whatsoever.
Cons
Crap
Virus
Annoying
Made by malicious frauds
Complete lack of respect by the developers
Avoid at all costSummary
VIRUS!!
There was a Babylon toolbar that kept reinstalling itself and for inexperienced computer users it would be difficult to get rid of this virus. AVOID AT ALL COST!!!
As soon as I found out that this program is only made to install crap on your pc, without consent, I uninstalled it. So it doesn't really matter whether it 'works' or not...
I have a strong feeling that all the good reviews are written by the company itself, since reviews without cons for virusware like this isn't really believable...

"cheap is expensive..."
Version: PassportPhoto 6.0
Pros
free. Easy. Quick in itself, not counting the 30 minutes to uninstall all the crap that came with it.
Cons
Inconsistant color/tone across the six photos on the page. Even worse: the multiple toobars, apps, spyware that came with it: my anti-virus went nuts. The default setting rendered a gray background that got the photo denied. I should have seen that, adjusted the settings and re-printed. Still...truer default settings would have saved me aggravation.
Summary
inconsistancy and added toolbar,spyware junk make this not worth it.

"Extremely useful application"
Version: PassportPhoto 6.0
Pros
After trying a couple of similar applications, this one is the BEST.
First of all it's free and has all the features you need to create ID photo. It makes 4 or 6 ID photos on one paper sheet.
Great user interface and output image quality.Cons
Don't know about Cons. It worked just perfect for me.
Summary
Very good application.

"VERY IMPORTANT INFO"
Version: PassportPhoto 6.0
Pros
Almost exact same software used at Walgreens. You can see the guidelines overlaid on photo. You can magnify and shrink, lighten and darken, rotate 180, adjust contrast, and move position of pic.
Cons
You MUST take your time when installing to catch the very tiny boxes that ad extra software garbage. Take you time, and read everything twice.
Summary
Pretty great for anybody who needs to print passport photo themselves instead of relying on strangers at retail store who may not have any common sense. Only guideline lacking is the eyes, but that is easy to figure out.
******WARNING***** do not allow this program to do ANY updates whatsoever. It will constantly nag you to do them but the updates are malware that is very hard to remove.
