@nikolaosaek Please try to avoid images with overlays/watermarks. Also if the source image is small/low quality, please upload them in the lowest allowed resolution (so for city images that is 1200x675), that way they will be less blurry 👍

Top work mate 👏 @P-Jo 

Can you change the logo for all Dutch competitions with ‘Tweede Klasse' in the name to this one? Most of them have ‘Tweede Divisie' as the logo, which means something else. 

All the Eerste Klasse ones also have ‘Eerste Divisie', but I don't know a good replacement

@teej1874 If you want to request more than 6 sources, you can do do as a pack. There is no limit on how many packs you can upload, and they can contain up to 50 images each

If you name the images as the ID of the person, the system will automatically recognise them and so you don't even have to type in their names 👍

@MND This person hasn't been in the game for 4 years, did you mean to submit it to somebody else?

@Sascha1796 You can get larger versions by taking them from the actual club site and then changing this part in the url to a higher resolution https://www.fredrikstadfk.no/nyheter/imre-bech-hermansen-med-proffkontrakt/_/image/0fa25890-88d3-4a04-b559-0ddd86072128:1fa86d0f0ea6ea7fbd25b529ac55af2a416b03a5/wide-1600-900/Imre%20Bech%20Hermansen.jpg

Can you send them to me in DM?

I'd try completely deleting and re-installing if you want to make it work, but it doesn't make a difference keeping them there no

@SChen1973 No that's not necessary, it should work like this. Are you sure you've reloaded skin and everything?

@Javi Romero R How old is this image? We'd rather not spend time on ones that are from more than 2-3 years ago

Then you probably have them mixed up within one another. The complete pack should be your ‘main' folder and then you need to apply the updates as explained below.

You should only have one folder for each background type. 

To avoid confusion, I'd advise you to always download and extract the update packs to a different place than your FM folder (just put them on your desktop or whatever). After you've copied everything over, you can then delete those.

What you then do is only move the actual images and config over to your backgrounds folder.

Click through all the folders in the update pack until you get here. Copy all of them

And then put them here

Then you need to delete the old config file and replace it with the one in the update pack.

According to the screenshot you only have the 2023.01 update pack of about 1,000 backgrounds?

These are the complete packs

We'll have a look at it, but I'd recommend you use the browsing system here anyways, as it's a bit more refined

@Ali Kerem Görür Good cut, but there's no need to nudge the collar up so far, having just a few pixels showing is enough 👍

Explained here

@Copywriter If you're looking for high-quality in-game shots for players, gettyimages is a very good site: https://www.gettyimages.ae/photos/florian-grillitsch?assettype=image&editorialproducts=sport&family=editorial&orientations=horizontal&phrase=Florian%20Grillitsch&sort=newest

They have a huge collection of leagues, and the only thing you have to do is put the image url through this site in order to remove the watermark 👍 http://getty.beatsnoop.com/

@einherjer83 Can you take a look at this pack? At first glance I can't spot an error in the config, but these kits are not showing in-game for me either

Are you 100% sure they are all JPG? That was the problem for someone else that couldn't upload a pack

@Javi Romero R We want cuts to be in either 180x180 or 250x250 pixels, the list of guidelines is here: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/360/guide-to-cutting-and-assorted-hints-tips-and-assistance

Can you upload the source image?

Too small to be an improvement

Which pack version exactly? And can you post a screenshot of what it looks like after extraction please

@Footygamer 

@Mustafa Deniz Gümüş If you're planning on doing multiple cuts, please upload them as a pack. It saves a bit of time with uploading and moderating

If you name the images as the ID of the player, the system will automatically recognise them so you don't even have to type in their names 👍

Which clashes are you most looking forward to?

Are you using a skin that actually supports backgrounds? The default one does not, there is a list of FM23 skins here: https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-2023-skins

If that's not the problem, please post screenshots of what your backgrounds folder looks like

Yes there are some problems with that lately. If you go to your actual downloads page in your browser, you should have some sort of option to ‘keep dangerous file anyways'. There's nothing wrong with the file of course 👍

You mean the aerial ones? There's a thread here that explains how to create a config file yourself https://sortitoutsi.net/content/60493/how-to-use-a-specific-part-of-the-megapack

So if you want to have the aerial stadium images in the place of the inside ones:

Set the little dot to background and stadium and the drag the “stadium_backgrounds” folder on to the app. Then open the config with notepad and press ctrl+h and replace “background” with “stadium” and press replace all.

Config lines need to look like this:  <record from="xxxx" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/xxxx/stadium"/>

@wfm18 Please watch for snow in the hair/beard as well, it's quite visible on a dark background

There's a tutorial video on how to clean it up here https://sortitoutsi.net/content/360/guide-to-cutting-and-assorted-hints-tips-and-assistance

And I also made a video showing the full cutting process
