@mons Bit harsh especially considering that most images were very well cut using the techniques shown in the video and were previously aprovved by other mods. I understand that some cuts had mistakes and didnt really look great but i would argue that most of them are perfectly acceptable. Anyways thanks for the help i will try to improve before uploading again. I should add that i mostly make these cuts for personal use.

I'm sorry you feel the feedback was harsh but I thought it was constructive and perfectly fair. I conceded it might have been caused by the source (which I have no visibility of, after all), but that does not change the fact that the edges were quite rough, using the attached screenshot as an example in which it is quite visible. It's also not too sharp, which might indicate that the original source was a bit small and that it needed to be upscaled to provide a 250x250 (thus losing sharpness)
Compare it with the existing cut below with smoother edges and more sharpness, which means that the one you posted definitely cannot be considered an improvement.
I'm afraid that is the case with pretty much all the cuts you made yesterday, which is why I had to reject them all. I'm sure @krissmed wasn't aware when he approved them.
You are of course absolutely entitled to have them for personal use, but if they are posted on our forum, then they must be considered as candidates to be added to the megapack (otherwise why would they have been posted?) so you must be prepared to receive feedback accordingly. After all, we aim to maintain the high standards of the megapack, which is why cuts like this aren't considered as improvements. In order to ensure that you produce the best possible cuts, I provided you with the above videos to help you do so. I also remind you that a cut can only be as good as the source it comes from, which is why we've rejected previous smaller sources from you in the past because they aren't of sufficient quality to be worth cutting since they won't provide improvements.
If you can provide the original source for this cut, I could provide more specific feedback 👍

I've made these videos to show how easy it is to make good-quality cuts quickly and using free online tools (or Photoshop)

Before making any more cuts, however, I would suggest posting your source image and your cut in the tutorial for cutters thread so that we can give you feedback so that you improve your technique instead of doing the same mistakes over and over again.
