Austrian embassies publish checklists for Schengen visas. The one from the Austrian Embassy in Bangkok, for visiting family and friends, asks for one recent passport picture 35 millimetres wide and 45 millimetres high, in accordance with the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization, and says any alterations, like Photoshop, are strictly forbidden.
This page makes that size: 413 by 531 pixels at 300 DPI, which prints at 35 by 45 millimetres. Eight copies fit on a 4 by 6 inch sheet.
The Austrian Embassy in London's list adds that the photo must not be older than three months and that photos which are not up to standard are rejected. The table links the Bangkok checklist and the date we read it.

Check the official requirements before you submit. We resize to the numbers shown; we do not check face position, expression, glasses, lighting or background rules.
No editing at all
The Bangkok checklist puts the alteration ban in strong words, and it covers the background too. Leave "Replace the background" off on this page, and take the picture against a plain, light wall instead. The checklist names no colour; Austria's own passport guidance asks for light, ideally grey, which is a safe choice here as well.
What ICAO standards mean in practice
The checklist does not spell the ICAO standards out, but they are the familiar biometric rules: the face straight to the camera, eyes open and visible, mouth closed, an even light without shadows, and a plain background. Ask the mission if you are unsure about a detail before you have photos made.
Face a window in daylight so the light is even without any editing.
Handling the photo
The London list asks you not to staple or glue the photo to the application form and to make sure it is not damaged. Bring it loose, flat and clean, in an envelope with your other documents.
Three months or six
Embassies set their own limit on the age of the photo. London says three months, and other lists may say something else. If you are not sure which applies to you, use a photo taken in the last three months, which satisfies the stricter rule.
Checking the print
Print the sheet at a photo lab or kiosk with resizing turned off, then cut one copy out along the gaps. A ruler should show 35 millimetres across and 45 down. A photo shrunk by a borderless print setting is a common way to end up with the wrong size.
Number of photos
Both lists we read ask for one photo. Print a full sheet anyway: the spares cost nothing extra, and if a copy is damaged on the way you have another of the same picture.
