Same goes for taking your Green Card lottery application photo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several online services that allow you to upload your portrait and turn it into an acceptable passport and visa photo. You can either choose a fully automated, semi-automated or a manual service that lets you have control over the editing process. Although it may seem like an advantage, there are nuances making the manual process inadvisable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fully-automated software will get everything done according to the U.S government requirements and leave you with a suitable image for your registration form.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best online photo services to help you get an eligible application photo:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An official U.S government photo tool<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The U.S government photo tool has a few handy features to help you take the photo:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It crops the image automatically to 600&#215;600 pixels<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you aren\u2019t pleased, you could edit manually via an \u201ceye\u201d button in the corner of your screen<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The software doesn\u2019t let you edit the background, so it\u2019s better to have a plain white backdrop to avoid extra editing\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The photo tool can usually figure out the actual head size. Although sometimes the result doesn\u2019t comply with the U.S government requirements due to certain facial or hair features of the applicant<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It chooses the eye position correctly in the manual editing mode. The photo tool sometimes doesn\u2019t locate the eyes properly on its own<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could use a verification tool to make sure your photo is absolutely correct\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/visafoto.com\/diversity-visa-lottery-photo\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DV Lottery photo online service<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a different service that lets you get your photos done online. It\u2019s pleasantly rich with useful features:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The service is fully automated. No need to do anything manually. Each photo is perfectly cropped to the required size, with head and eyes placed right as the conditions demand it<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can edit the backdrop if needed without altering the outline or damaging the quality of tbe image\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could use a verification tool to make sure your photo is absolutely correct\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost for one digital photo and a separate one for a print out is only $7.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s up to you which of the available options to choose, but the best quality to cost ratio still belongs to the online software. We suggest going for the online service to get your picture taken to receive a compliant fully acceptable photo for your DV application form.
