@StaffMan, please stop leaving so much space between the top of the head and the top of the cut, it's really not needed and draws the focus away from the face...

Would you not say this is a bit better?



I'm not talking in terms of cut quality, but in terms of layout here...

ill be more carefull in future

hey @mons

is this what i should be looking for when cutting

That's a bit better, but you're still leaving a little bit too much space between the top of the hair and the top of the cut; all of that is just wasted space. In this particular case, I think I would also rotate the source about 2 percent clockwise before starting to cut, in order that you get the face aligned a bit straighter.

I'm not sure if that's what you're doing, but don't resize the source before starting to cut. The higher the resolution you cut at, the easier it will be and the more details you'll be able to include

hey @mons thanks for the reply

im under the assumption that you leave no more than 1 or 2 pixels between the top of the hair and the top of the cut ?? example below

no im not resizing the image before i cut i have the crop tool setup for 180px x 180px

Yep, that's much better

Your previous screengrab contained probably around 4-5 pixels. It's not the end of the world, granted, but it isn't really necessary...
