Cut from a newer source

@SeattleSound92 I managed to get a larger image size by removing this part from the image URL:
https://www.rainews.it/resizegd/768x-/dl/img/2023/01/30/1675100618492_Moustapha_Ciss_.jpg

Like so:
https://www.rainews.it/dl/img/2023/01/30/1675100618492_Moustapha_Ciss_.jpg

Also from FC Südtirol's website, which I think would be a better source to cut as it's against a white background - change “375-500” to “0-0”:

https://www.fc-suedtirol.com/images/content/1429961_84360_1_T_375_500_0_473911268/cisse.jpg

Like so:

https://www.fc-suedtirol.com/images/content/1429961_84360_1_T_0_0_0_473911268/cisse.jpg

Looks like Richard Tambwe

You can't - the game doesn't support custom goalkeeper kits. Only the customisation that's in the pre-game/in-game editor.

@Ibarra If you're requesting several images in a short timeframe, it's better to do so as a pack:

Packs also have a larger image limit instead of the regular request limit iirc 50 vs 6).

If you're requesting sources to be cut, it's better to post the original ones without the background removed 🙂 If you're looking to give cutting images a try, remove.bg does a great job at automatically removing the background (these videos show how to use it).

@ryqnthekid One other thing about these Stockport sources is that the background hasn't been removed very well - so bits of the ears/hair/chin/etc are slightly transparent, and it would require spending a fair bit of time trying to fix that. Were the sources like this on the club's website or did you remove the background yourself?

@Carlito85 You can get a much larger image size by removing this part from the image URL:

Like so:

Found another source on the club's facebook page 👍

@Ibarra The bottom of his face (chin/beard) is cut off - do you have the original uncropped photo?

Unfortunately that's the only size they uploaded to the website.

@Krauersaut In the future, if you're uploading multiple cutouts in a short timeframe, please upload them as a pack instead of individually (just make sure the filenames are saved as the players' UID) - this saves mons some time collecting them all instead of having to download each cutout one by one 🙂

Thanks for pointing this out 👍 In the future, be sure to tag @mons if you spot an error in the megapack like this, just to ensure that your comment doesn't get missed.

@Lolo223344 Do you know when this source image was taken, or can you link the site you got it from? I can't be sure but it looks like he's wearing a previous season's training kit, and in this image from just over a month ago he has much shorter hair, so it would make sense to cut the more recent source image.

@opperheim This source is from November 2021, it won't be an improvement.

@Bayram Nazlım A cutout made from this source image is already in the megapack.

@Sebastian Czernecki 

These cutouts have been stretched horizontally, and as a result look really unnatural. When you're resizing a cutout, ensure that you have “constrain proportions” or “maintain aspect ratio” checked so that you keep the original image's proportions.

Yes, if the face in the image is so small like this it's not worth cutting - try to look for source images where the face is 250px+ tall.

Looks like it might be Maduka Christopher Udeh, who played for Øygarden at the same time as Charles Ezeh.

@mons @Julk44 It's the correct person

This is the source image, from Amuedo's UEFA profile (if the image doesn't show up, the ID “250163670” is the same)

You can get a much larger/better quality image (which would make for a better quality cutout) by removing this part of the image URL:
https://www.bcfc.co.uk/media/83108/alex-scott_01.jpg?w=540&h=540&mode=crop&quality=80

Like so:
https://www.bcfc.co.uk/media/83108/alex-scott_01.jpg

You can get the image without the .webp extension by removing these parts of the image URL, but unfortunately it's still the same image size.

Like so:

I did try and play around with the URLs - I found that they do use “original” instead of “xlarge” for a banner ad, strangely, but unfortunately replacing that in the other image URLs doesn't work.

Thanks for spotting this mistake - if you notice any others, please tag @mons so that he sees your comment and it doesn't get missed among all the other cutout submissions 🙂

We prefer that cutouts in the megapack have the person's current appearance, that's all 🙂 I checked the player's facebook page, and the cutout with blonde hair is more recent (earlier this month) – in the source image for the other cutout you submitted, he's wearing the 2020-21 kit so I think it's from an old promotional image that he posted recently
 

fyi @mons 

@jazos Unfortunately this cutout isn't of the correct person - it's an image of Juho Talvitie from his signing announcement at Lommel SK, and I assume it just showed up on a google images search for Taras Dmytryk because it was just retweeted by him.

@Dylan347 Just a couple of minor things to point out:

In cases like this where the person's head is at a slight angle/leaning to one side, it looks better if you rotate it slightly to be more upright. The videos below show you how to do that.

Another thing is that, if you're making a lot of cutouts or requesting images to be cut in a short timeframe, you should upload them as a pack - it's easier and quicker for mons to collect them to be added to the Megapack that way (just make sure the filenames are saved as the person's UID). 👍

@Mthcarmo Which cut is more recent?

https://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/api/image/cropandgreyscale/7534beb1-9a84-42fa-9193-139e3037c6d2/?anchorpoint=top&greyscale=false

make sure you keep “cropandgreyscale”. Then just change "?preset=square" to “?anchorpoint=top”

@Mthcarmo This cutout looks a bit blurry If you didn't know already, here's how you can get larger image sizes from dfb.de so that the cutout can be of best possible quality: https://sortitoutsi.net/comments/get/471110

So in this case, this image URL:
https://assets.dfb.de/uploads/000/273/914/custom_style_1_krattenmacher_maurica.jpg

would become this:

https://assets.dfb.de/uploads/000/273/914/original_krattenmacher_maurica.jpg

Additionally, when the player's face is at a slight angle like this one, remember to rotate the cutout so that the face becomes more upright, as shown in these videos:

@ManciniPica Found a larger size on the club's website 👍
