It is the best video so far , Could you tell me what keys did you press to add the horizontal line that is inline with eye after you add 50% vertical guide?

[@ArmandoMedia]

To activate your rulers please press ctrl+r or cmd+r and you will see the rulers at the top and left conner of your screen. Drag the ruler from the top to your photo. If you don’t understand just do the same thing for the 50% vertical or use a straight rectangle shape to represent this line. Let me know if this helped

If you cropped the photo using photoshop, without any changes or alteration in the photo background , facial , hair or anything (just cropping). But the photoshop left some mediadata on the photo EXIF in which it shows in the photo (properties) that software is (adobe photoshop) . and I applied with it is it going to be directly disqualified

It gives that the photo rejected coz overly compressed. What the solution

[@ArmandoMedia]

You can adjust that in Photoshop, set the resolution and try to increase the image quality when exporting it. In Photoshop, go to image and increase the resolution. Never try to modify the skin texture or color as this might lead to your photo been rejected.

[@SS-sg4eg]

But Photoshop will leave meta data in your photo which can be detected and your photo will be considered altered by editing software

Not at all if you properly do the job

Hello, it is said that the artificial intelligence that checks the photos rejects all photoshop edited photos, is it true? For example, size a photo in Photoshop and make the background white

[@ArmandoMedia]

Is there any article which says so? Cuz I’ve never heard of it

[@eugenes.9161]

Photoshop can be used to crop photos, i.e. for everything that is shown in this video. But at the same time, you cannot make any changes to the image using Photoshop, except for cropping. This is explicitly stated in the rules: "You will be ineligible for a DV if the entry photographs for you and your family members do not fully meet these specifications or have been manipulated in any way." Therefore, you should not try to change the background of the photo, including making it lighter or whiter. In general, it will be better to check the cropped photo for errors before sending it. This can be done using the "ASTAR photo-validator" program. In addition, this program can crop the original photo itself according to all the lottery photo requirements, which eliminates the need to use Photoshop at all. Good luck!
