So in all the prep madness, I just now got around to printing my ticket. I now see that my photo is a little bit smaller than the requirement and shadows on my face. I took it with my phone. I'm freaking out. what should I do?
There's not much you can do. However, unless your proctors are total dicks, as long as you are recognizable they should let you in.
On my first LSAT I forgot to rotate my picture and it was sideways and didn't quite fill the box. The people were still able to see that it was me and I was allowed in to take the test.
Try not to let this stress you out too much. You cannot change it now, and you don't want to have this kind of stress over your head before your test! Stay calm, keep yourself mentally prepared and kick some butt!
You may print your ticket using either a color or back and white printer. Color is not required. The ticket preview shows you both versions so you can see how it will print on whichever printer you use, and so you can make sure your submitted color photo will look acceptable if printed in black and white
Personally I'd print it in color to be safe. Don't want to risk your proctor making a big deal out of it.
@uhinberg the picture of my ticket on my LSAC account is B&W and I submitted my photo in color. That being said, I think it will automatically print in B&W. @alizeh182 I wouldn't worry about it too much. Keep the picture on your phone to show them if they happen to give you a hard time about it (which I doubt they will).

Unless it REEEEAALLLLY doesn't look like you, I think you should be fine. It's up to the proctor's discretion, but most proctors aren't a-holes
On a related note, does the photo have to be color, or can it be printed out from a black and white printer?
I'm like 90% sure it can be black and white. As long as they can recognize you there shouldn't be any issue.

@alizeh182 The shadows on your photo may also be less harsh if you print in color!

My pic was b&w when I wrote last and I had no problems.
Thank you so much, I will just try and not stress about it, good luck on test day!
