It is my first cut out picture
No need to look so scared
I'm afraid it's got a shadow behind it, which isn't ideal, so I'll put it back as available so that somebody can have another attempt at it. What program and what technique did you use? Perhaps we can offer some tips on how to improve your output
@mons I use Gimp and use blow shadow for that.i can leave the shadow out if you like.for the background i used remove.bg

Gimp's really not an advanced enough tool to provide cuts of the quality that we look for. We avoid having shadows in our cuts, too.
@mons Okay, was the rest of my cut okay? I will leave out shadows in the future.
Which Photoshop version do I need best?

To be honest, I didn't notice much other than the shadow. If you used remove.bg, you'll have gotten a very decent result. Any Photoshop version you can get your hands on should be enough. After putting a source through remove.bg, you only need to rotate, crop, resize and remove snow and even the earliest versions of PS can do that
@mons ok i'll have a look at it thank you. do you also change the contrast and color saturation of the picture sometimes?

Only when the colour is really unnatural, otherwise I don't touch them at all. I usually brighten images up as some of them tend to be a bit dark, but I think all you'd need to do is nudge the collar up a bit to avoid either having too large a gap between the bottom of the chin and the collar or not having a collar at all.
From the guidelines to cutters thread:
Care should be taken to avoid the chicken-neck effect and so all cuts should include a little bit of collar. At the same time, the ideal cut only contains 2-3 pixels beneath the chin. Since in some sources, the person in the image may have a longer neck than usual, this would be quite difficult to achieve naturally. This video & this post display a simple technique of how to cut close to the chin and still display a bit of the collar.
thanks :-)
