In terms of cutting technique, both packs are top-notch.

However, I'm not sure you've read my initial post carefully enough. Yes, you are to cut at the chin (or a few pixels beneath it, to be pedantic), but if the shirt is lower than that, you don't crop it below but you nudge the collar upwards the necessary amount for it to be just beneath the chin.

Please don't take this as an instruction to do this pack for the third time. I'll see what I can do and which are to be added to the megapack.

But if you do decide to do more cuts in the future, just keep the above in mind. And if you have any doubts, just ask 🙂

@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:

Yes, it is, but a bit of collar should also be attached.

Additionally, a lot of the sources are quite dark and lacking colour; compare it with the current cut, for example. Unless you add a collar and tweak the brightness and/or saturation, then they probably won't be improvements.

Tbh, the current megapack cuts for Juve are of excellent quality and generally quite recent too; I don't think most of them actually need to be done imo.

Decent work @rigsdigs but please remember for future work that all cuts must include a collar.

At the same time, the ideal cut only contains 2-3 pixels beneath the chin. Since in some sources, the person in the image may have a longer neck than usual, this would be quite difficult to achieve naturally. This video & this post & this post too display a simple technique of how to cut close to the chin and still display a bit of the collar.
