Please check my edited barcode size....

I practiced adjusting the barcode on the I-864 coversheet posted in the james shortcut section.

Can someone tell me if my final product looks the way it should?

I have attached the before (unedited) and after (resized)

Does it look accurate?

thanks

I looked at the barcodes in photoshop, they look identical to me.

It looks ok but the sizes are different. Also, make sure you don't leave the MNL case on it.

Good point Diana.

Yes, while you have the correct size, on the actual sheet it is filling up a smaller space - it is displaying on your edited version at about W 332 H 39 (pixels) while on the original it is displaying at W 413 H 42 pixels.

The barcodes in both attachments still decode to MNL2006123456 (sample's case #). Seems like you never actually changed the barcode at all.

sorry for the confusion....

But i was merely playing around with the MNL barcode on the sample sheet. I never actually included my own barcode and case number. All I did was right click on it, format picture, and changed the size as described in the shortcuts guide.

Can someone give me the exact steps on how to crop and resize my own barcode using paint or irfanview ?

cropping out the IDmation stamp seems to change the size of the barcode when I paste into word. It no longer looks the same as the MNL one in the sample.

I'm worried that the one I make won't scan properly into their system.

thanks

I didn't have to size the barcode when I generated it myself but if you do, all you have to do is double click on the barcode James has on his shortcut, then go to the size tab and write down all the measurements he has for it. Then once you generate your own barcode, you can paste it in paint to take out the grayed out wording underneath it, copy it again and paste it on the coversheet. Once you paste it there, double click on it, go to the size tab and enter the measurements you wrote down from the other sample barcode.
