You probably would do better by re-sizing in a regular photo editing program. A
passport picture is 2" x 2" I think or 192 pixels x 192 pixels.
www.getpaint.net and www.irfanview.com are free programs.

in photo gallery how do I size a photo to passport size
==========================================
Creating a Passport Photo:

You need to crop your image to 2x2"
and print it exactly that size....

The free program, FastStone Image
Viewer can do what you request.

FastStone Image Viewer
http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm

First you will have to download and
install the program.

Now, open the program and select
the picture you wish to create the
passport photo with. The selected
image will show in the bottom left of
your screen.

Now go to...Edit / Crop Board.

Click the "Define Paper Ratios" button.
(it's just to the right of the Paper Ratio
drop window)

Click the "Add" button and enter...2 x 2"
click...OK...

Open the "Paper Ratio" drop window
and select 2 x 2".

Left click / drag a box around the exact
portion of the image you wish to include
in your finished passport photo. You can
resize by dragging the corner handles
and reposition by dragging the 4-way
arrow. To finish...click the "Crop" button.

Now...go to...File / Print...

Open the "Size" drop window and choose
"Normal".

Click "Print".
