Now that we have created the passport photo now we can merge the changes done in the mask layer

To merge the layer right mouse click on the Mask layer and click on Merge Down

This will apply the changes to the final layer.

Step 2: Add Stock to the image

Now "give stroke" to your image as we have a "border" in passport-size photos.
Double-click on your layer a "Layer Style" window will come, now select the stroke tab as shown in the image.

Select Stroke >> Set
Size: 10 px
Position: Inside

Step 3: Add corner marking to cut the passport-size photos from an A4 sheet

Create a new layer above all the layers by clicking on the “Create a new layer” button under Layer Panel

Now select the entire image by pressing Ctrl + A
Now go to select >> Modify >> Border and set the border to 1 px

This will create a border of 1px around the photo, Now select the “Paint Bucket tool” and set the Black color in the “Set Foreground color” tool from the Tools Menu and apply the color in the border of the image.

This will create a black border of 1 pixel around the photo, as we need to create only marking around the corners of the photo now you need to deselect the corners as shown in the image.

Press the delete button, this will delete the border except the corners of the photo.

Now our final image will look like this

Step 4: Create a Pattern of our passport photo to print on A4 Paper.

To create the pattern of our passport photo go to Edit >> Define Pattern

It will ask you the name of the pattern

And your pattern will be created
Now you can use this pattern to print on A4 Paper

Width: 12 inch
Height: 8 inch
Resolution: 300

and click on OK button, a new blank page will be created.

Now Create one New layer.

Step 6: Fill Pattern in the new document

Fill the pattern by selecting “Paint Bucket tool” >> “Select Pattern” from the Paint “Bucket tool menu” and select the pattern that you have created.
