@ElMatador These are decent first cuts, but they need a little more work to be added to the megapack. You can find all the guidelines for cuts in the first post of this thread: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/360/guide-to-cutting-and-assorted-hints-tips-and-assistance
We ask for all cuts to include a collar, and for the collar to be within 2-3 pixels of the chin. In sources where the collar is lower down than that, it should be nudged upwards as demonstrated in the below video:
Secondly, the edges of these look a bit jagged. 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. If you watch this video, it should address all your queries 🙂
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.
