@Paul Zinn, we aim to have 250x cuts whenever possible. While the original source isn't the largest, when cropped and upscaled, I think it can provide a 250x of sufficient quality 😉

@Paul Zinn, can I ask what cutting technique you're using? The edges are a bit jagged and not as smooth as could be done from this source. Have a look at this thread for guidelines for cutters and video tutorials on what we expect for from our 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.
