You want to photograph the subject on the cleanest possible white background. It also advisable to avoid harsh lighting and shadows. To accomplish this I used a seamless paper backdrop held aloft by two C-stands.
Using your photo editing software of choice (mine is Photoshop ), adjust the levels, brightness and contrast. In Photoshop, I first open the 'Levels' adjustment window and use the white eyedropper to select a spot on the backdrop. This assigns the backdrop as the most white portion of the image, and re-calibrates the image as such.
Once the image is color corrected, crop the image in close on the subject to remove everything but the white background.
Using the magic wand selection tool, create an outline around the subject. Create a new layer, and paint this layer white. If the white is covering up any part of the image, erase it.
Use the select all command and then the cut command. Scale the image up until it is about 5-10 inches taller than the height of the actual subject being portrayed. Next, place a guideline that is about two inches from the top, and then another marker that is [2" + height of subject] from the top of the image. Paste the image into the frame, and scale it until the head is at about the first marker, and the center of the feet is about on the second marker.
Print the image without any scaling using a large-scale color plotter printer. If you don't have access to such a printer, take your file to your local print shop or copy center and have them print it for you.
Cut a rough outline around your subject to remove as much of the background as possible. This is a rough first pass and shouldn't go in too close. This step is just about removing unnecessary paper to make it easier to work with.
