@Hansstr These are still set as draft, can you confirm them? Also some have already been done in the past weeks, it's worth checking the timelines before cutting to save yourself some time 👍
What's so terrible about it? And are there any others in particular you had in mind?
It's no where near as sharp as the previous image. The same with the active Aaron Cresswell cut where a slanted image including a chunk of shoulder has replaced a really good quality profile cut. It seems there is a preference for a poorer quality more recent image over a better quality, sharper image. I'm finding myself more and more when I download the updates going through and replacing images with previous cuts.

That's your opinion, and you're welcome to it. With thousands of improvements every month, deciding whether an image is an improvement or not is something which is done at first glance and instinctively almost, as I don't have the time to do more than a quick assessment on them. There will certainly be instances where mistakes are made, and I'm happy to change them back again if and when they're pointed out to me. I don't think these two are that egregious, however, frankly.
I'm not a big fan of how dark the previous Kudus cut was nor the fact that the side to our left is in half-shadow. I'm not a big fan of the fact the new one has light reflected or it's slight (relative) lack of sharpness, but I think it's still preferable.

The inclusion of the shoulder in the new Cresswell cut isn't ideal, granted, but the fact it's newer than the previous cut from the start of the 2022/23 season swung it for me.

Fair points and appreciate it must be a painstaking process to review them all!
The Kudus one I agree the previous cut also has a few downsides. I've probably seen better examples but didn't want to go scrolling to find historic ones.
The Cresswell one probably comes down to preference, I'd rather a 10/10 cut that's two years old as the player at his age has likely changed appearance very little than a super recent 6/10, but appreciate that's personal choice / opinion.
Always appreciate the work, time and effort that goes into this!
