@thepablo1999, these images aren't the largest, so they won't provide excellent cuts, unfortunately. They're barely worth cutting, unfortunately…

Try and use the hints and tips in this thread on how to find the best possible sources for your requests 👍

Best effort from the existing source…

Resizeimage isn't really necessary for that source tbh as it's sufficiently large to get a decent cut. Plus, when an image has been pre-cut and superimposed on a background like in this case, it's always a bit difficult for remove.bg to get it right and remove all the snow. I still think some of it would be removed if you put it through remove.bg in the format it's in.

Cheers - I'll give it a try

No problem, I'm grateful anyway and thanks for the cut. I'll just have to sign him for a team that plays often in snow and then it will be ultra realistic 🙂

Bring him to Vancouver Whitecaps, with his old friend Pedro Vite!

Maybe we can help? What method are you using for your cuts and can you provide the original source image?

I can't check rn but I suspect that if you put this cut through remove.bg, a lot of the snow will be removed.

Photopea/ResizeImage.net followed by Remove.bg is my usual process. This particular source isn't brilliant quality, but there are very few pictures of this player online.

@JoeMoon1506, there's a lot of snow all around the head of this cut, and I suspect a fair few others from this pack.

Whichever cutting method you're using isn't really working properly. I suggest using remove.bg.

For sources this dark, it's important you brighten them a tad, too.

I do use remove.bg actually, so not too sure how that slipped through. I'll remove it manually on Photopea if I notice it in the future.

If that's the case, then it's better to avoid doing cuts from low-quality sources which end up being blurry, not sharp and/or pixellated which won't be added to the megapack anyway; it's better to use your time more productively 😉

If anyone can find me a better source I'll be happy to complete the cut!

The current megapack cut isn't ideal since he's not looking at the camera, true, but the quality is far superior to the cut you have just uploaded @JoeMoon1506

I agree - I've been looking around for a better source but there are none anywhere…

@JoeMoon1506 From looking at the player's and club's instagram pages, he's had shorter hair again for a few months. Maybe this photo from January 2020 would make for a good cutout for now?

I agree - will sort that now mate

@JoeMoon1506, the hair details in the current cut make the new image simply not an improvement. It doesn't seem to be from a source worth cutting, nothing to do with your cutting technique at all.

No problem mate - Was just looking for an updated image of him at Estoril

That's great and exactly what we mean by that technique 👏

As an aside, since the photo is taken on the pitch, there's a bit of a green glare reflected on the face.

Here's another easy technique to remove it and thus have a more natural skin colour:

Awesome - thank you, I'll ensure this is done for my future cuts.

@JoeMoon1506, I don't know how many times we have to point out that all cuts must include a collar. We have told you this plenty of times, so please start doing so from now on, otherwise I won't take your work into consideration. It is not down to personal preference or style, but something which all cuts must have, otherwise they might well be rejected which would be a waste of time and resources for all concerned. I'm sorry this may seem ungrateful but it's part of our attempts to try and have a standardised megapack look.

Here is a video showing you, again, how this can be done quickly and easily:

Hi Mons, thank you for attaching the tutorial video - very helpful. I have just attempted this method with my newest cut for Mikulas Bakala which I will now submit. Please let me know what you think and how it could be improved.

@JoeMoon1506, when a source image sees the player face tilted like it is here, it is better to rotate it before cropping it so that it is as upright as possible. Can we have the original source for this please?

@JoeMoon1506, I don't want to appear like I'm picking on you, but I can't not comment on the fact there is a bit of green snow in the hair and that this cut contains no collar. I know you're still a relative and I appreciate your enthusiasm, but please make sure to have a good look at the tutorial to cutting thread to see how to make sure your cuts are as good as they can be 👍

Hi Mons

Would this cut be seen as an improvement on my original attempt?

Thanks

@JoeMoon1506 Your cut is ever so slightly crooked. Use ctrl+' in PS to get some lines and you'll spot it easier.

After being rotated 2 degrees clockwise:

Also, use this technique to fix excessive lighting.

Is that a game-ready image or a source image still to be cut? Whichever is the case, please upload the image on the submission forum so that it can be added to the megapack or cut as necessary

Existing image is probably better in honesty
