数字图像DIGITAL IMAGE 头部位置和放置 -头部大小 HEAD POSITION & PLACEMENT - HEAD SIZE 

头部的高度或者面部大小（从头顶量起，量到下巴，包括头发，）必须为整个照片尺寸高度的50% 到69%之间。眼睛的高度（从照片底部量起，量到眼镜的水平高度）必须在整个照片高度的56% 到69%之间。 

照片像素规格必须按照正方形的比率（即高度与宽度必须一致）。最小尺寸不得小于600像素（宽）*600像素（高）。最大尺寸不得超过1200像素（宽）*1200像素（高）。 

The head height or facial region size (measured from the top of the head, including the hair, to the bottom of the chin) must be between 50% and 69% of the image’s total height. The eye height (measured from the bottom of the image to the level of the eyes) should be between 56% and 69% of the image’s height. 

Image pixel dimensions must be in a square aspect ratio (meaning the height must be equal to the width). Minimum acceptable dimensions are 600 pixels (width) x 600 pixels (height). Maximum acceptable dimensions are 1200 pixels (width) x 1200 pixels (height). 亮度，对比度和色彩准则 BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST AND COLOR GUIDELINES 

 亮度和对比度必须调节到能够准确表现拍摄物。 

 未正确调节过对比度或色彩的照片会导致某些特殊的面部特征模糊不清。 

 色彩必须能真实再现自然肤色。 

 使用未进行色彩平衡矫正的荧光灯或其他闪光灯可能导致照片上出现不必要的色偏。 

 适配的滤色镜能减小不当的色彩平衡。 

 Brightness and contrast should be adjusted to present the subject and background accurately 

 Photos without proper contrast or color may obscure unique facial features 

 Color should reproduce natural skin tones 

 Fluorescent or other lighting with unbalanced color may cause unwanted color cast in the photo 

 Appropriate filters can eliminate improper color balance. 

照片样本 - PHOTO EXAMPLES 

过深或过浅的服装可能导致自动曝光系统过度补偿，从而拍出过深或者过浅的肤色。可以在拍摄前使用一张中性灰色卡片放在一个稳定高度来设置曝光。 

Very dark or very light apparel may cause certain auto-exposure systems to overcompensate, resulting in overly dark or light flesh tones. A neutral gray card may be used to set exposure at a consistent level before placing the subject in the scene. 

过高的对比度通常会导致整个画面光影明显。可以通过对拍摄物的散射光调节获取正确的对比度。这时的闪光会在降低整体对比度的同时增加局部的对比度。 

Contrast that is too high is usually due to the overall light and shade in the scene. Correct contrast can be achieved by directing diffused lighting onto the subject. Such lighting increases the local contrast while reducing the total contrast. 

照片质量受拍摄时使用的闪光类型的影响。应避免使用白炽灯和荧光灯混合在一起的闪光灯。使用正确的滤色镜可以提高整体闪光质量使传统胶卷或数码相机传感器感应到，从而抵消非自然色彩效果。某些高级数码相机可以使用一张中性白色卡片调节白平衡。 

Picture is affected by the type of light used. Avoid mixing incandescent and fluorescent lighting. Corrective filters can improve the overall light that reaches the conventional film or digital camera sensor, and thus remove unnatural color effects. A neutral white card may be used to set the white balance level on some advanced digital cameras.

FILE SIZE – the size of an image in digital photography, measured in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), or gigabytes (GB). File size is proportional to its pixel dimensions; images with more pixels may produce more detail at a given printed size, but they require more disk space to store and are slower to print.

In digital imaging, graininess may occur as a result of printing an image, the pixel resolution of which is too coarse, or as a result of using a printer with poor dot resolution. 

头部定位 – 被拍摄者头部的定位，特别是将完整的面部定位在的正面位置，保持双眼水平和睁开。戴眼镜的被拍摄者应保持正确的头部位置，这对于避免眼睛拍摄时产生不必要的反光非常重要。在定位被拍摄者头部，去除可能出现的反光时，必须注意拍摄时达到本手册上列出的面部区域和面部居中准则。 

HEAD ORIENTATION – the positioning of the subject’s head, specifically positioning the face to the full frontal position, eyes level and open. For those individuals that wear glasses, proper head orientation is crucial in avoiding unwanted glare from glasses.
