: Making an out-of-focus selfie into an ID photo I need an ID photo with a white background (that's studio type) but my best shot is only a self-portrait photograph. I need instructions to replace

I need an ID photo with a white background (that's studio type) but my best shot is only a self-portrait photograph. I need instructions to replace the out-of-focus background with white, and canvas the left & right sides to make it square.

Here is the top source of the picture which is more clearer: scontent-b-lax.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t31.0-8/171006_1390215815070_6123382_o.jpg?dl=1

I've already tried these online tools:

Clipping Magic - Its production is not good enough for something like a non-clear image.
Background Burner - Uploading takes forever to complete maybe due to the security of a computer cafe/shop.

Can anyone help direct me to a tool that I can use in an internet cafe to make this kind of a self-portrait photo into an ID photo, then that would be great!

It's possible to do this with something like Paint Shop Pro (other image-processing packages are available)

Select the out-of-focus area [irregular selection] and Sharpen it.
Invert the selection to select the rest of the image and make it a neutral colour (not white, an off-white)
Invert the selection again to select the original area of your head and add a fuzzy shadow.

Or: get another photo! The above procedure will probably require a far longer time than simply retaking the photo, if the result is to be good. It's probably worth doing if you have to manipulate a one-off photo which can't be repeated.
