Photoshop Action for Canadian Passports

I wanted to share with any Canadian who can use it, an action that I created to help with my workflow of processing Passport Images.

The action takes an image placed in a template I designed, crops it, puts a slight gray stroke around it, duplicates it, and resizes the canvas to 4"x6".

Three Comments:
1. make sure the photo goes between the "36mm layer" and the "photo goes here" layer.
2. The image must be manually resized to ensure the crown to chin of the subject fits within the parameters as set forth by Passport Canada (31-36mm), BEFORE you press PLAY on the action.
3. The slight gray stroke is for trimming purposes only.

I tried uploading the action here in PPH, but it didn't work. So if you're interested in using it, send me an email and I'll get the action to you that way.

I have included here screenshots of the template before using the action and after, the layer structure of the passport template and the passport template itself.

Perhaps it can help you.
