@HJN030 Unless I'm mistaken, you had to use an AI image enlarging tool on these cuts, which is to be avoided. Using an AI image enlarger just “guesses” what certain pixels should look like when you make the image larger, and the result looks blurry/out of focus on certain details, with unrealistically smoothened skin, and unnatural looking hair/beard/eye/teeth details.

 

The 500x500 Premier League sources aren't the biggest, especially since they are for players which have essentially identical cuts already, mostly from very recently. As far as I'm concerned, hardly any of these will actually be considered as improvements.
 

Moreover, you'd expect HQ cuts for such a high-profile team to be available soon, which makes it even less ideal to cut such low-quality source images.

@mons It is indeed correct that I used AI. However, I carefully reviewed and compared the result. Additionally, I checked the cutout and made further adjustments. I only noticed a bit of snow at the top of the image of Nwaneri, which I still need to remove. I consider it as temporary; when larger source images become available, I will use those.

I see what you mean, and I will have a look at them, but isn't it all a bit of a waste of time when the current cuts are recent and excellent, and when better sources will be invariably available quite soon anyway? See what I mean?

 

Besides, Calafiori has had around 6 cuts since the Euro, Nwaneri had a new cut uploaded a few days ago and Gravenberch had a Euro cut too.
