Passport Photos for less than $0.05 per piece

Just developed my own DIY passport photos, costed me $0.30 for 8 pictures! What I did was arrange 8 passport sized portraits onto a 4R photo, which costs $0.30, develop it and cut it up. The picture quality was good, comparable with a normal passport photo, even though it was in gif format. There were a few problems with the formating though... It had to do with transfering the photo to the shop. First I tried to use a floppy disk, but they couldn't read it, then I tried burning it to CD, still couldn't read. Then they attributed the problem to the file type, i had saved it as a gif file, and they told me that they can only print jpg format. So I went back to change it. But still couldn't solve the problem. In the end, the shop managed to somehow extract the picture from the gif file. Next time I'd try the photo booths.

Another problem is that the pictures are not cut exactly to the size seen on the computer. It is cut around 2mm into the edges. So when aligning the pictures next time, remember to make allowance for it.

Ok, here are some useful dimension:
4R photo: 6" x 4"
Passport photo: 3.5cm x 4.5 cm
*Remember to leave a margin of 2mm!!

I realise that my blogging is taking on a certain style. I constantly blog about a few topics.
1) Websites
2) Books/Games wish list
3) To-do lists
4) Reflection on Achievements
5) Personal Updates
6) Experiences

If I had the time, I'd like to design icons to preceed these topics. Like a to-do list would begin with a notepad and pen icon, achievements could begin with a trophy icon.
