When viewing a Live Photo's thumbnail within the main photos listing or an album view of Photos on your Mac hover the mouse cursor over it to start the Live Photo playback.

Go to a Professional photographer, and tell him/her to make you a photo, a bigger one, where you show mostly all of your above-half. The background of the photo can be white, or similar, like.

Select the Marquee tool (M). You can do this by clicking on the icon, or by typing the letter M. (For the remainder of this tutorial, the key shortcut will be shown after the tool name.) The Marquee tool is the most basic of all tools. It's something you're already familiar with: virtually every application and operating system selects things the same way: click and drag to select a region of the screen. Photoshop is no different.

• Clicking and holding on the Marquee icon will give you a small popup menu where you can select the variations: Rectangular marquee (the default); Elliptical marquee, for selecting circles and ovals; and a single-pixel marquee for both horizontal and vertical.
• For now, select the Rectangular marquee, place your cursor somewhere in the upper left of the image, then click and drag the mouse. You will see the selection expand, with the pixel values to the right of the selection. Drag towards the center, until the values are roughly W: 300 H: 200, then release the mouse button.
• Click and hold in the middle of the selection, and move the cursor—notice how the selection moves with you. Drag the selection so that it surrounds the tan house on the hill, as shown:
• From here, you can copy the selection, move it, apply filters to it—pretty much anything you can do in Photoshop starts with a selection.

Drugstores will charge you as much as $10-15 for a measly photo, adding insult to injury when you're tied up in a long and expensive passport application process.

If you're willing to pay the price for convenience, so be it, but if you like to 'DIY,' you'll be happy to hear that taking your own passport photos is actually pretty simple.

You'll need:

• A digital camera (or smartphone)
• Computer
• A photo printer (or local photo printing center)

Easy enough, right? Now follow the steps to take your passport photos, DIY-style.

Step 1: Set up your shot

Get yourself in front of a white or cream-colored background, like a wall or posterboard. That's the easy part. Now, with the help of a friend, adjust the lighting so that there aren't any shadows or glare on your face or around your head and body. This could mean getting near natural daylight, or turning on/off household lights.

Step 2: Make yourself presentable

The U.S. government has a pretty strict set of guidelines that address what you should look like in your photo. In a nutshell, you should look like your everyday self. (That might vary if you've got your headphones glued to your ears all day.)

Abide by these rules to get your passport photo accepted:

• Wear your everyday clothing and hairstyle. This is not the time to get creative or try that new electric green eyeshadow. Uniforms and costumes are unacceptable, unless they're worn daily for religious reasons.
• No electronics can be in the photo, so take of your headphones, Bluetooth devices, and 3D glasses before hitting the shutter.
• Hats, sunglasses, and tinted glasses are forbidden, but if you wear prescription glasses, you can sport those.
• Pose with a neutral face. A smile or straight face are OK, but no goofy expressions!
• For a complete list of guidelines (which you should review) go to the U.S. Department of State's Web site.

Step 3: Shoot, edit, print

If the lighting looks good and you're sporting a government-approved look, frame the shot that there's plenty of headroom and room around your arms. You should be cropped out just below the shoulders. It's better to be too zoomed out than too zoomed in, since you'll be able to crop later.

Snap a few shots and transfer your photos to your computer.

To edit your photo to the proper dimensions and composition, head to the U.S.'s own photo-editing tool (link). Upload the photo to the site, then zoom in or out, and move the photo around until your face is aligned with the outline. It's imperative that it's lined up as close as possible, or else your photo may be rejected.

Save the photo to your desktop, and you're ready to print. The program will save it as a 2-inch-by-2-inch photo, which will be the final printed size. If you're printing at home, use your photo printer to print your headshot on matte or glossy photo paper. Otherwise, go through a service like Shutterfly to print it out at your local drugstore.

You should attach only one photo to your passport application, and finally, pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
