Thanks - really appreciate that. I'd been wondering how to lose the annoying white edges

I've cut this one:
But the other one has had a good cut produced separately elsewhere, so I'm not going to re-cut. Both will be included in the upcoming 12.02 pack

@tv_capper With the paper texture over the image I'm not sure if this would be an improvement - might be worth waiting for an official photoshoot to be released

Additionally, we prefer our cuts to be cropped much closer to the chin to ensure the focus is on the face. The usual guideline is that 2-3 pixels below the chin are sufficient.
The original source is at https://scottishschoolsfa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/JoshDoig-400x543.jpg. If you remove the -400x543 from the URL, you get a much larger version which will give a higher quality cut
To get a good cut, I would crop that one, to something like this, then put it through remove.bg. You’d get something like this:
The next step would be to put the collar a little bit higher as per the guidelines in the collar spoiler in this thread (not sure if a similar process can be done with paint.net), rotate it clockwise a degree or two, then crop it to 250x250
Give it a go with this one and also with your other cut if you can; will bring you much better results for relatively little extra work. Once you get used to it, this whole process can take a minute or two maximum per source image
