@Stu Fairway, I'll give you some feedback here rather than on the other thread First of all, I appreciate the enthusiasm. However, paint.net isn’t that good at producing cuts to the standard we aim for. While the completed cut may appear to have no issues on the surface, if seen on a dark background as in here, you will see there is a somewhat harsh white edge along the cut. I don’t know about paint.net, but this is easily avoidable if you put the source image through remove.bg first.

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

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
