(sorted the colour correction - previous version was too purple and desaturated)

Sorry, ignore the 1st  but I think this could be a much better image to cut from. I'd do it I just don't have enough skills to actually cut the background well. The image currently being used which I made is just low quality and can never really get the colours right. Would be amazing if someone more skilled than me had a go!

I'm not sure what cutting technique(s) you're using, but I would imagine that remove.bg would do a great job at removing the background on an image like this.

It's a free online tool which removes the background to an excellent standard, for free and almost instantly. 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.

Yeah, thanks I tried but remove.bg seems to leave some of the background on the image between the dreadlocks, it can't really identify well between the black background and the locks unfortunatley. Also on the image, his shirt is too thick so it doesnt cut off at the bottom, it extends too wide as such 😢 

Shirt isnt exactly correct, but best I could do.
