You are 100% correct about the dark background problem... I did check it on a black background and I agree it is ropey. I thought basically everyone used the light skin though nowdays for facepacks... my bad. I'll see whether I can touch it up or not.
It's probably about 50/50 still, so we need ensure as good a cut as possible. SI don't bother, so we should
I notice you're new to the forums, if that's a hint of your cutting out, then it's really quite good (apart from the background issue) have a look on the training thread for details about how to use burn and sponge tools and you'll learn a lot. Nice to have you on board

Right, done a bit of tweaking to make sure it looks
acceptable on a coloured background (it looks IMO, very nice on the FM Dark grey now). Here are some old/new comparisons...
Old:


New:


I realise you don't get as much of the aliasing effect for the hair on the white background but if, like you said, the picture should accomodate for all skins I think it's kind of the best of both worlds. I also tweaked a few pixels here and there that gave a weird effect around the right jaw. What do you think? Attached is the transparent .png
EDIT: I just realised I haven't bumped the contrast up slightly on the new version to give a nicer skin tone... I'll go do it and re-edit this post to say the new ones are up.
RE-EDIT: Done!

Many thanks!
I don't think the image you provided is the best tbh and I thought I'd try and improve on the existing source a little.

This issue has cropped up before - 67047289 as appears in MP is definitely NOT Kenan Kodro. It's another Bosnian (international) defender who is about 15 years older. It came from an image in google which wasn't properly checked before cutting. Not your fault mons, you can't start verifying every pic as well, just letting you know.
To the best of my knowledge there is still no picture of this hot prospect.

Furious, can you please stop shouting things like "DEFINITE!!!" improvement?
This one would only be a slight improvement and only if cut by an exceptionable cutter. The hair is whispy and the resolution isn't amazing.
It's not as if the MP image is terrible to start with....just saying.
