Photo Minister Leyen was made at a press conference with the help of "normal camera" from a distance of about three meters - this picture was the chief. In addition to his Krissler used several other photos that played a supporting role, and which were made at different times and from different angles. Photo editing software was used for commercial biometric identification VeriFinger (available 30-day SDK for Windows, Linux and OS X).
