do i need to get a professionally done passport picture for i-751 or can i just ask my wife to take one of me with a white background and get it developed at my local wal-greens?

Walgreens will take your passport photo for $7.99 for two pictures. You can do it yourself but you need to make sure it's sized correctly and fulfills all the requirements (head has to measure a certain size etc).

I took my own to save $$ I used a digital SLR, photo editor to crop and place 4 2x2" in a 4x4" square, and printed them out using a 4x6" thermal photo printer.

Photo requirements can be found here, they need to be composed correctly.

the requirement is that it be untouched, you can't photoshop/edit it.

Correct photo shopped to remove blemishes and alter appearance are a strict no/no, but cropping the picture to get a 2"x2" square is acceptable, just don't alter the picture in any way. Edited October 29, 2006 by YuAndDan

you can go to any KINKO's and they'll take passport pictures but it cost $12 or so for two photographs.

I use photoshop elements 3.0 to resize and crop to a 2x2" form factor cut and them paste into a 2x2 grid yielding me 4 pix on a 4x6 print, the cut them apart. Cost per picture about 25cents. I cannot stand getting ripped off at Kinkos, Walmart or anywhere else knowing the true cost of the pictures. I have the tools and am a photo bug I might as well use them. Again the pictures are "un-retouched" I don't use photoshop to enhance the pictures, only to crop and print.

I did mine myself too. Took them with a digital camera, resized and cropped them in Photoshop, printed them on Canon photo paper in my colour printer. They were accepted at all parts of the process, from applications to medical to visas.
