@NikFB In addition to @Qvordrup's entirely valid comments, I don't think this can be considered as an improvement. It's got nothing to do with the quality of the cutting itself, but the existing megapack cut-out is clearly better. It's sharper, has more hair details, better lighting and more vibrant colouring. I haven't had the time to check the other Bayern cuts on Photoshop yet, but having quickly and visually compared them with the existing megapack cuts, I think the same sentiment applies throughout.

When cutting sources, I strongly suggest comparing them with the existing MP cuts in order to avoid spending time on inferior sources, from which any cuts derived will end up not being included in the megapack. There are so many "higher-priority" requests and sources that I feel cutters' time would be better used on these. Up to the cutter at the end of the day, naturally

Hi, yes, I think you guys are right about the cut being closer to the chin, really sorry about that. I'll take a look on that tutorial to avoid these in the future. However, I'm not so sure about the current pictures being better than the ones I uploaded here.

The current Bayern pictures for example, despite having a few more details look very weird and unnatural in my view as the color seems slightly oversaturated and the skin of the players looks so reddish. The same could be said about the Leverkusen pictures (before the last megapack update) which were full of dark shadows on the faces of the players.
Also, in some cases the hair color looks odd, take a look in the pictures of Neuer or Früchtl, they seem to have black hair. But it might be only my opinion and It's entirely valid if the mods don't want to change these ones. I just wanted to contribute with what seemed to me more normal pictures of some important players without sacrificing quality. I apologize

Best regards

Mainz' SI cutouts included in FM19 can be found here (just be aware a lot of SI's cutouts have snow/visual artefacts and need cleaning up, and often lack collars so the necks can look weird)
You can find high resolution images of the players on Getty images and following this instructions, or by searching google with the Size and Time options under 'Tools' as well as Search By Image for larger sizes of the same picture

Here's his SI cutout; although the cutout Baja uploaded is good it's out of date (from 2015 preseason) @mons
