Are any other instructors having this problem?

Are these prints that are attached to the application or digital files sent electronically? If I recall the photos are approximately passport size, approx 2" x 2" and are physically attached to the app. That sized print made from a 4mb file should have excellent resolution and any pixelating would be quite obvious. I guess the term grainy could be used but that's really a term for negative based prints.
They are passport photos I take during the class and you're right about file size and pixelating. DPS doesn't take digital photos; the ones L-1 sends to DPS are for identification purposes only.

Chas.
I thought I remembered you supplying the photos when I took your class. If you resubmit the same photo and it passes there's something going on, me thinks. Have you any been resent?
