Charging $15 to do something I can do in 5 minutes in my existing photo editor is a heinous sin regardless of whether or not it's a beta.
Paying good money for a small tool like this is just supporting unjustifiable greed by some moronic, wannabe software developer.

Despite my positive review there's one thing that sucks: When did developers actually start charging money for beta versions...?!? I find this rnew behaviour ather inapropriate -- either it's a beta for evaluation purposes so that the devs get feedback and can eliminate bugs, or it's a finished clean application that people can buy...!? Everything else stinks, even though it has become rather common recently...
1.2.0b1 is the first version I tried so I can't speak to past experience. What I can say is that this version "works" (under 10.5.2). I took 4 photos of my family, dragged them in, sized them, selected the US Passport size, and printed them on photo paper at a very acceptable quality (as passport requirements go).
I believe what at least one fellow commenter here may have been confused about is what confused me at first. Passports (at least US) have two size requirements. The size of the entire picture (2x2") and the size of the face within the picture (between 1" and 1-3/8", not kidding). So in "Picture Calibration" mode, the entire large preview window represents the "Picture Frame Size" (2x2", like a crop box) and the "Face Frame"" represents how large the face appears within the selected size. At first, I kept trying to scale the picture to fit within the face frame as if it were a crop box and wondering why all 4 pictures kept previewing at different sizes (some less than 2x2 making the software appear "broken"). So if anything, the documentation could be a little clearer and offer a few more tips.
As far as price, do I wish it were cheaper? Sure. $15 for something I would -personally- only use once (US passports are good for 10 years) is a bit steep. (I don't really follow the "beta" argument as you could pay for the software and use v1.0.1.)
But if I could go back in time (<insert favorite Leopard "TimeMachine" joke here ;-) >) I'd pay the $15 to get back those two hours PassportPicture would have reduced to minutes...
