@Svartowiz, please avoid using AI on source images. sing 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.
Moreover, please remember that we want all cuts to include a little bit of collar. At the same time, the ideal cut only contains 2-3 pixels beneath the chin. Since in some sources like this one, the person in the image may have a longer neck than usual, this would be quite difficult to achieve naturally.
I'll fix this one myself, but please keep it in mind for any future cuts you may do 👍
Here's a video of the process on how to nudge the collar upwards:

@mons I personally thought the result using AI looked very good and true to other pictures of the player. I get why it’s not as good compared to a geniue picture, but I thought it was better than nothing, as there is litteraly no other pictures of the player from the front I’ve been able to find.
I didn’t know a collar was mandatory, as many other players in the pack doesn’t include it. I guess the standards have changed over the years. My other submission (Oscar Sejrup) I edited the collar in myself, because he was wearing a big jacket like in his prior cut. I didn’t think manipulating a players neck length would be seen as geniue, but good to know.

In truth, it's not too bad, but I'd rather we avoided using AI altogether as a rule of thumb, especially since a lot of users don't have an eye for what looks natural and what doesn't.
I've been administering the megapack since September 2009, and collars have been mandatory since then - so not exactly sure what standards you're referring to which might have changed over the years 😅
I'm sure there will be the odd image which squeezed into the megapack over the years without having a collar, but I very much doubt there are many other players like that. Appreciate if you could point any of them out so that they can be fixed 👍

I understand your point with AI, and I will not use it in future submissions 👍
It was just a guess regarding the standards. In my current Vanløse save I just checked my squad and there is at least one player, Marcelo Randolf, with no collar. Many more have one or two pixels of collar which I didn't notice before zooming in. I also have Jérôme Prior on trial and I have a hard time seeing if there is a pixel of collar or not, even after zooming in. So the extremely vague collars on many players is where the confusion comes from, I see that most players have a tiny tiny bit of collar now 😊

I've fixed Randolf, and have cut a new image for Prior (whose current cut is from May 2018!) 😉
