Sorry, did not see the exact same image had been uploaded.

No worries. I'm more concerned about the edges of your cut which are a bit more jagged than the previous cut. What method(s) are you using for your cuts?

I recommend using remove.bg for your cuts. It's a fantastic free online tool which does the heavy lifting for you by removing the background in the source image, leaving you to only rotate, crop and/or nudge the collar upwards. It's tremendously easy to use and provides fantastic quality. With it, you can go from source to cut in a couple of minutes for the vast majority of images.

Here's a couple of videos on how to use it, one when combined with Photoshop and another using photopea.com, which is a free online app so close to Photoshop that it has the same shortcuts, layout and icons 😉 If you don't have Photoshop, photopea.com is the tool I would recommend to use to tweak the draft cut produced by remove.bg. It's more powerful and versatile than GIMP and other similar tools.

Have a look at this thread for guidelines for cutters and more video tutorials on what we expect for from our cuts 👍

Yeah, I did all the work by hand before I saw the tutorial. Thanks for the links!

I'll try to work on a few that haven't  been uploaded yet and I'll use the remove site as well

Go through the guidelines carefully - images like this one aren't in the correct dimensions. If the source is that small, it's hardly worth bothering with frankly, as the eventual cut will be of quite poor quality. Have a look at this thread for some hints and tips on how to find the best possible images for your cuts.

A simple Google Images search found this other source, which should be good enough to provide a 250x250. It needs to be rotated, probably by around 5 degrees clock-wise.

As you're still starting to cut out, I would recommend that you post in the tutorial thread for feedback before uploading your cuts in the submission forum so that you can continue refining your technique without having them rejected all the time.
