Pass Foto Background: Understanding the Fungsi dan Tujuan of Blue and Red Background
When taking a photo, the background is one of the essential elements to consider. Specifically, when taking a pass photo, the background is a particular shade of blue. However, did you know that the Indonesian government allows two colors, blue and red, to be used as backgrounds for official documents? In this article, we will discuss the Fungsi dan Tujuan (function and purpose) of both blue and red backgrounds in photos.
Fungsi dan Tujuan of Blue and Red Backgrounds
1. Warna Khusus Tahun Kelahiran
The blue background is used for those born in even years like 1994, 1996, 1998, etc. On the other hand, the red background is intended for those born in odd years like 1995, 1997, 1999, etc.
2. Foto Dokumen Resmi
Official documents require specific backgrounds, and in Indonesia, only blue or red backgrounds are allowed, depending on the year of birth. Therefore, use only the allowed colors and determine your birth year, whether even or odd.
How to Create a Blue Background in Photoshop
Here are simple steps to follow to replace a red background with blue using Photoshop.
1. Prepare the photo you want to edit for the background.
2. Open Photoshop and upload the image.
3. Change the primary and secondary colors to blue by double-clicking on the color patch.
4. Use the crop tool to adjust the photo to the required size, 2 x 3 inches.

Tips
When taking a photo for an official document, always use a plain background that will make it easier for you to replace it with the correct color later. The use of other shades of blue or red is allowed as long as it is in the same color family. To avoid the cost of having to retake photos, ensure that you dress appropriately and pose according to the required standards.
Conclusion

The blue background is used for those born in even years, while the red background is for those born in odd years. In addition, official documents require specific backgrounds, and as such, only blue or red backgrounds are allowed.
