This was missed as well @mons 

@Asparthya As I mentioned here, your cutouts have harsh white edges, which don't look good and should be avoided. Try using remove.bg following the below tutorial videos instead of the method you currently use to cut out images 🙂

@Asparthya If you want to upload a cutout face for a player/staff, you should do so here: https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/browse/1/658252/timeline

Although I notice that the cutout in your image has harsh white edges - I recommend using remove.bg for making cutouts, as it automatically results in a high quality cutout. Here are tutorial videos to get started with, or you can read the tutorials and guidelines thread:

@DavidDC For other Racing Santander B players, this page is an archived version of last season's squad page which might be useful, as they were uploaded in larger image sizes than this season's images.

Just replace “400x550” in the image URL with “662x372a” like so:

From last season but larger

@PikaPika Gamer Better, but it's still a bit blurry for some reason. Are you making sure to crop the image first so that remove.bg doesn't give you a smaller, downsized cutout image?

@PikaPika Gamer Your cutout is quite blurry - you can get larger source images from some Spanish club websites (ones that have images hosted on files.proyectoclubes.com) with these instructions. I've uploaded a better source for this player 👍

@Adasko612 This image is far too small to be useful.

I think what mons means is that when you brightened the image, you also reduced the contrast which made the shadows look washed out and “flat”. mons' cutout definitely has better sharpness as well. The “restoring” of the jacket looks fine imo.

Just as an example, this is what the image looks like if I reduce the contrast even further, do you see how it looks washed out/"flat" in comparison?
 

@77david54 I don't understand the point of requesting that source. It's a January 2020 image, so less recent than both the current cutout and the pending source - and the pending source is already good enough to get a high quality cutout from. Save your efforts for players/staff who genuinely need improved cutouts.

Source was posted on KAC de Kénitra's facebook page in August 2020 so should be recent enough

More recent source (March 2021, your cutout is from a 2019 source) @TiagoSeattle

Londrina's Flickr page might be useful for sources of their other players

This should help with guide lines: https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-concepts-image-guides.html

@TiagoSeattle Larger source image 😉

For more players from Sampaio Correa, their Flickr page might be useful.

edit: Found an alternate source from last year, better quality than the requested source but different hair style so I'm not sure if it's worth requesting as well.

@stefanraven With a source as large/high quality as the one posted above by krissmed, it's more than good enough to cut it at 250*250px. 180px cutouts should be for when the source image is too small or low quality.

@Sopel Some of the cutouts in this pack seem a bit blurry - did you upscale them from smaller source images?

Additionally, try to remember to center your cutouts (aligning the middle of the face with the middle of the 250px canvas, or leaving an equal gap on either side of the head), as it looks better in game and saves @mons a bit of time having to do so 😉

@77david54 The source image you requested here is from July 2019, so it's from around the same time as his current megapack cutout. The pending source is from this season and more represenative of his current appearance as he's changed his hairstyle.

Correct person @Lumilde 😉

@Lumilde The cutout you uploaded is of Juan Pacchini, and not Rodrigo Soria - I've moved it over to the correct profile as I think it's a slightly better quality version than his current MP cutout. In the future, be sure to double check that the images you're cutting are of the correct person 🙂

@Marcelo Neves dos Santos You've already requested this source, there's no need to request it again - just be patient and it will be cut 👍

@NassFas What 77david54 means, is that when the face in the source image is at an angle like this one, it's best to rotate it so that the face is upright, as in this video:
 

If you meant good enough for you to add to your own cutouts folder to use in your own game then there's no issue 👍 - I meant for adding to the Cutout Faces megapack, as the source image you posted was only large enough for a 180px cutout.

@GfxJG Good work, but please note that all cutouts should include some of the collar. In this case, there wasn't any need to remove the hood of his hoodie. I've uploaded a fixed cutout including some of the hoodie edited to look more collar-like 👍

I don't think sources of that size would be good enough in cases where the player has a 250px cutout already. However, UD Leiria's twitter page has some better images (you can search them here) which would be large enough.

Already cut from a larger source

@Marcelo Neves dos Santos Again, still the wrong player. The image you're requesting is Weverton Silva de Andrade who isn't in the FM database. Please don't just request random players under the wrong names.

Alternative from November 2019

By the way @Calan10 - Tarragona has a flickr page with good quality pictures of some players (mostly new signings), which might be of interest for future requests 👍

@andresm_91 I've rejected your source as I've found a larger version.

Also requested a few months older source that has better image quality.

Please use the “Upload image" button (shown below) for posting alternative cutouts, otherwise they might get missed

@Marcelo Neves dos Santos Firstly, this isn't the correct player. (This image is the correct player, from Cruzeiro's website)

Secondly, “Game Ready” images should have the image dimensions 250*250px (or 180*180px if the source image is too small/low quality), and the cutout should be cropped closer to the player's chin. There are guides on how to start cutting in this thread, or watch the videos below.
