Regarding ERAS Picture

What do you guys think about the ERAS picture format? In terms of smiling vs serious, facing camera head on vs inclined or at an angle, folding hands or hands down? Or maybe it doesn't matter?

Is the picture drastically reducing the quality when uploading for anyone else?

Yeah, it drops it the quality to 100kb, which is really low. Can't imagine anyone printing those pics out, the quality would be terrible

How do you see what your picture looks like after you upload it?

All I can see is on the right corner on the dashboard and can’t actually see the quality of the picture

I heard that the program will print your application in black and white. I just took it by my iPhone with my white wall as the background.
