I've never used the history brush before, however after using it a couple of days, I find it really useful.

Would attached file be acceptable, if not please explain what else is needed, if it's ok I will have a go at some more. Constructive criticism and advice greatly appreciated.

Now I think I have cropped this a bit too tight, but is everything else OK. I sized first image at 180*180 as that's what all the others are in facepack, this is 250. The cropping is the bit I can do so I'm not bothered about this as I'm just trying to learn paint 3d at the minute, it's all the fiddly bits I have trouble with. But if this image is ok I think I can have a go properly

I tried on one of them and this was the result i got:
I can't get the eye to look natural no matter how much I try.
Swedie
And what source are you using? It looks like it's been upscaled.
180x180 was used before and 250x250 hasn't been used for that long, so the majority of the cuts are still 180x180.

Are you using clone stamp or something? My method is using an adjustment layer (usually Levels) to increase the brightness of the shadows (or reduce brightness of highlights), and using a layer mask to restrict the adjustment layer to only the shadows
krissmed
Yes, I used the clone stamp tool. I tried other adjustments like levels and some other, although I couldn't get a good result. Imo, the clone stamp works perfectly fine, however the eye is really hard to fix...

The image is the one you posted in my request thread https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/request/32343
As I said I know I cropped it too close, didn't realise how much I chopped off the top of his head though, but as am experimenting I'm not too bothered about that as I can redo that easy enough. I will have another crack tomorrow, see if I can remember how I did it and post again. Thanks.

Here's an example of one I used this method on. IMO Clone stamp doesn't maintain the details of the skin which yields unnatural-looking results. Trying to remove the shadows instead of reduce them means the facial features will lack depth

(This is my second cut out and I'm posting here so can improve technique and everything)

There are some snow, here's how to fix it.
Some other small tweaks to improve the cut:
- You can rotate the cut to make it straight. You can do it under "rotate canvas" if you're using PS.
- Personally, I would prefer if you move the collar on the left side down and up on the right.

@StaffMan please when you have longer neck use this technique and don't leave cuts without the shirt.All cuts must have some part of the shirt visiable.
Rowan
I actually just made a video to help explain the process also
StaffMan
ok Rowan , Thanks for the heads up , think its called Chicken neck , i will practice for a while until im fluid at the technique

Here's my result using Vertus:

Found this new online tool for removing backgrounds. Tried it with a few pictures and the results were pretty good. Maybe will help some people.
mons
I reckon this can be a game-changer
"Manual" cutting will always be preferable as the attention to detail will always be better than anything done automatically, but for straight-forward sources with a clear background and a plain hair-style, it looks like the results are absolutely amazing. I will need to check how it works with poor sources, tough hairstyles and/or multi-coloured backgrounds, as it looks like some snow will be inevitable - but anything which can give our cutters a hand is definitely much appreciated
Edit: It looks like the tool automatically downsizes HQ images, I suspect for bandwidth and/or processing purposes. For best results, I would recommend that the image is manually cropped to only include the area immediately close to the face so that as high a resolution as possible is maintained

Over the past few days, I've had enough time to check and I reckon this can be a game-changer in terms of cutting.
First of all, "manual" cutting will always be preferable as the attention to detail will always be better than anything done automatically, but it looks like the results when using this site are absolutely amazing, especially in cases where doing a manual cut would take a lot of fiddling around. It's not 100% perfect with poor sources, tough hairstyles and/or multi-coloured backgrounds (but what is?) as some snow will be inevitable - but anything which can give our cutters a hand is definitely much appreciated
A random example: this source would result in this cut in 5 seconds flat.
In this case, it will still need rotation, cropping, resizing and a little bit of cleaning to be ready for inclusion in the megapack, but it's much easier for a cutter to finalise instead of having to spend minutes trying to get the hair right
It looks like the tool automatically downsizes large images, I suspect for bandwidth and/or processing purposes. As far as I can tell, the final cut cannot be larger than 500 pixels long or wide so for the best results, I would recommend that the image is manually cropped before uploading the source onto the website, so that it only includes the area immediately close to the face so that as high a resolution as possible is maintained in the final cut.
An example of the above - putting this source through the site will result in this cut:
It's not bad, but if you crop the original source to this:
before putting it through the site, then you get this:
which will definitely result in a better cut overall once it's cleaned etc.
For some of our requesters who have pending requests from an old while back, it may be worth experimenting a bit with it to see whether some of the older requests could benefit with being put through the tool so that cutters would only need to clean, rotate, resize etc.
I'm thinking of people like @jWaSiMhE, @Bram Carella, @RT7, @Vinceultras42, @FreeTheTinman, @Aksull, @JúNioR_SpAwN.d, @Boudewijn, @ABBFH, @schweigi, @Burak Orak, @LucasThale, @Lebohang Mokoena, @katalonczyk22, @Domynix92, @Pipoquinhas, @Gamma022, @cebul, @Juancr7, @Nick___9, @brankodelija, @spix22, @zdendo, @tv_capper, @Jogo Bonito, @Jay Brockie, @weeniehutjr, @StaffMan, @Mustang13297, @Hasjasja etc., who have all been regularly submitting sources with varying degrees of success in actually seeing them get cut. If some of the pending sources/packs are put through this website, cutters would only need to clean them up, thus making it easier and more likely for your requests to be cut and included in the megapack...
It can also help regular cutters like @Belajariman, @MARSEILLE13, @Rowan, @Sopel, @bakizp, @HRiddick, @fumuj, @StaffMan, @leftfoot, @moondog777, @Swedie, @diogoamaral, @krissmed, @cksrl1000, @marrtac, @maxtod77, @Wallace81, @Cut out 4 this (and I hope I haven't forgotten anybody - in which case, heartfelt apologies!) to speeden up the cutting process.

I'm usually quite sceptical of these kind of tools as they usually aren't even half as good as advertised - but I've been using this for the last week or so and I'm amazed at the consistently high level of cutting it manages to produce
