Better only in the sense that he's looking directly at the camera. It's a picture from 2014 and doesn't reflect his current appearance. There's no sense to use an old, outdated image in cases like this.

If you'd like to use the previous megapack cutout in your own game, you can save it to your megapack faces folder to replace the current MP cutout.

@timtim11 This is from the same source as the 11.01 megapack cutout, but worse quality. It's also less recent than the current MP cutout.

Great job finding how to enlarge the pic! I didn't found how to do it. OEFB has a lot of pictures from Austrian clubs.

In the image URL they have a suffix like "-1,0-100x100.jpg" - replacing "100" with "3000" gets the original image size.

Oh my, many thanks, I will use one of them for a cut out.
Is this some sort of magic @weeniehutjr?

Just checked again, I dont think this is the guy actually, but thanks for the effort.

As @Lebohang Mokoena said, I believe it's definitely him. The pictures I found were from posts/articles about his coffee company, which as you can see on the below page his email address on the OEFB website has his coffee company URL - and comments on facebook photos mentioned how he was a great football player 😉

Thanks for that, in the tutorial when he starts to click around the players face near the end of the video, what button has he selected?

The remove.bg is a massive help 👍

That part is using the clone stamp tool to remove "snow" from the edges of the cutout - fixing discolorations, darkening edges that are too bright which would show up on a dark background etc. Maybe you could just skip that step for now until you have gotten the hang of the basics 😉

Hello guys,
Previously you have been able to find images of people nowhere to be found on the internets, so here I am again.. This man played till 2005 and is now head coach of SV Leiben, and most importantly (for me) my newly appointed assistant manager.

Hi

I was wondering if there's an alternative to Photoshop when it comes to removing the white backgrounds in the pictures.

The attachment shows in my saved game. Any advice on removing the white background would be appreciated

remove.bg is a great free tool to automatically remove backgrounds, and photopea.com is a free web-based alternative to Photoshop. There's a tutorial here for how best to use remove.bg: https://sortitoutsi.net/comments/get/489897

@mons @krissmed What's the best practice when the subject has hair as long as this?

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/media/usvgLX0Kbfc8Prs1Cu0HJyGaFR5z0XDA0dFNCKeB.png

With how small the face is in the resulting cutout I almost feel like it would be better to crop the image at roughly the zipper of her jacket, as roughly a middle ground between the first cutout and cropping at the chin.

Yes you are quite right, when I’ve zoomed in on a black background, the snow and tooth issue is apparent.

How do we go about changing these to rejected and or replacing with a better version?

Thanks

There's a tutorial here for using remove.bg to cut source images - it will give a much better result than the method you used. I've rejected those two cutouts so you can upload improved versions 🙂

@StuartNG What is the source image for these cutouts - did you cut them yourself or were they precut? They have harsh white edges/lots of snow and part of the teeth are transparent, which is very prominent on a dark background. @mons

@tochalius What technique are you using for your cutouts? The edges of this cutout and a couple of others are a bit fuzzy. I'd recommend using remove.bg, there's a guide on how best to use it here: https://sortitoutsi.net/comments/get/489897

@mons @rigsdigs One thing to keep in mind is that these Juventus sources have a lot of background that wasn't completely removed, so just cropping and resizing them isn't enough to produce a good cutout. It's visible to me on my monitor but if you're having trouble seeing it, I duplicated the layer a few times so it's more noticeable:

@lele298 Again, like the previous cutout I rejected, you've distorted the aspect ratio of the image, and squashed it horizontally/stretched vertically. Make sure you're constraining the proportions of your cutouts.

If you use Photoshop, this youtube video will show what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFWwsiHU-xE

@Snipe2irt you were already told why the cutouts you're reuploading weren't added to the megapack. There's no need to keep reuploading them, and you're always free to add them to your own cutouts folder to use in your own game.

@lele298 You've squashed this cutout vertically/stretched it horizontally, so the aspect ratio is incorrect. Make sure you constrain the proportions of the image when you're making the cutout.

@Mateee I don't understand why you left such a large space below the chin, when the source image was more than large enough to crop the cutout more tightly.

Can we have the source image for this cut please @massimodebortoli97? The cut itself is not of the best quality plus he appears a bit different from the current megapack image, so it'd be good to check which is the correct person.

It seems to be the same person, but the current MP cutout is from this season while @massimodebortoli97's cutout is from a 2019 source

@Kaestorfer Remember to look for the best sources in the future - this one was on the first page of a google image search, so I don't know why you requested such a small, pixellated source.
