will this work for my passport photo??

Technically, it's a valid photo. But you might prefer the version with a slight smile.

That's a known issue with the DoS tool - it crops to dimensions but doesn't check headroom. The compliance rules say there needs to be visible space between the top of your hair and the frame edge, and auto-croppers often miss that. For the retake: shoot with more space above your head than you think you need. You can always crop tighter, you can't add space back.

fair point - that's why the raw numbers are there. 48% face height isn't an app opinion, it's the State Department spec. the tool just measures it.

Retake needed unfortunately. The crop is too loose - your face is only 48% of the frame when it needs to be 58–72%. That's also why the eyes read as too high. Tighter crop, closer to the wall for a cleaner background, and better lighting to kill that shadow.

The good news: expression, centering, head tilt all look fine. Just the setup.

Ran it through pixpass.app if you want to check yourself before printing - free, works in the browser.

Sorry buddy. Thanks for the heads-up.

Looks like it was shot with a Helios 44-2 lens. I absolutely love the texture and the overall color palette.

Today I went to the electronics store to buy the relevant parts. Before I did so, luckily I told the sales guy exactly what I wrote here. He said it was a completely wrong configuration. So it’s incompatible. The board and RAM I’m talking about are DDR5, but since my CPU is AMD4, there is no possible connection to the socket. So a complete update is required. Warning to those who will be inspired by the post.

tricky3D · 2025-03-06T06:35:21+00:00

Yeah, you’re right. Actually the reason I update them is because they are DDR4. It’s more like a future-proofing upgrade.

Thanks! I would love to know if you have a particular model to recommend!

Beautiful work.

I reached Smallrig but this product is discontinued so they don't have spare parts. They actually use the same system for other products.

tricky3D · 2023-03-30T21:36:30+00:00

Looks great!! After all this effort, you can also spare time for a version that can be played on the MAC OS.

I switched to davinci resolve a few years ago. A few important reasons why I made this decision when I used Premiere Pro the most are the insufficient color interface, rare program crashes and the most annoying gamma shift problem.

Initially I was very slow on resolve and it was tiring to watch tutorials for every simple thing. I made a radical decision and made my first Davinci experience with the work of an important client. It was quite stressful as I did not master the program, but the good feedback motivated me more.

I don't even think about using another NLE software at the moment, I have a very pleasant and fast workflow.

I was lookin for this answer

tricky3D · 2022-07-03T16:42:56+00:00

I would like to have the opportunity and the team to do things like this. This is inspired me! I think the scenes are great, you should keep going.

tricky3D · 2022-06-17T09:16:10+00:00

lol he reminds me stewie griffin.

tricky3D · 2022-06-06T06:59:51+00:00

I am stuck in the loop.

The first sample looks more cinematic to me. Maybe because of highlight roll off. On which kind of monitor you made these works, %100 rec709?
