Peripherally related. I needed a new passport, and applied online for one. The online application kept rejecting my photo which I had taken by a pharmacy specifically approved for taking passport photos. It said that my eyes were too shaded or had too much shadow. I tried everything with levels and contrast. I gave up and started messing with the application software. I cut the eyes out a different photo in the Mac Preview.app application. I lined up the eyes and thought they looked pretty good, then uploaded the photo. The application doesn't give a pass/fail, it just submits and its off. I have traveled quite extensively on this passport, including going to some countries that are pretty uptight about security. I'm sure I behave like a drug dealer going through security.
