Not bad @bhamichaelg, but it's not quite ready to be added to the megapack.

For a start, the edges are a bit jagged and have a bit of snow, plus it has no collar, which all cut-outs must do. Moreover, it's not in the correct dimensions.

Have a look at this thread for guidelines for cutters and video tutorials on what we expect for from our cuts. If you want your cut-outs not to be rejected all the time but added to the megapack, you need to make sure these guidelines are being followed. Otherwise, frankly, you're wasting both your time and ours.

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.

If you have any difficulties or want to ask for help, please post in the tutorials thread before uploading cuts to the submissions forum, and I'm sure we'll guide you accordingly 👍

Hopefully shows that the rejected source earlier is viable for cutting - most up to date image of the player I could find, which is still a couple of years old now.

It's not that it wasn't viable for cutting, it's that it wasn't large enough nor of the sufficient quality, especially when compared to the other source.

Also, try and leave no more than 2-3 empty pixels above the top of the head.
