Hi,

 

Any idea how to get better resolution images out of Championship websites?

 

Ex:  https://images.webapi.gc.middlesbroughfcservices.co.uk/eyJrZXkiOiI0YzJlNjVhMC01M2U1LTExZWYtYWI5Yi1mZDBhNWI5OGU0MjAuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjo1NTAsImhlaWdodCI6NTUwLCJmaXQiOiJjb3ZlciIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoidG9wIiwiYmFja2dyb3VuZCI6eyJyIjoyNTAsImciOjI1MCwiYiI6MjUwLCJhbHBoYSI6MX19LCJmbGF0dGVuIjp7ImJhY2tncm91bmQiOnsiciI6MjUwLCJnIjoyNTAsImIiOjI1MCwiYWxwaGEiOjF9fSwidG9Gb3JtYXQiOiJqcGVnIn19 

 

It's a pain but can be done. Go to the team page (https://www.mfc.co.uk/teams/) and open page source in your browser (make sure to check “Line wrap” at the top). Links to the high quality versions of the images should all be here but finding them is tricky as it changes slightly for every team's website. For each player/manager you are looking for their “squadImageKey” link, so for Michael Carrick if you search “michaelcarrick”, find the adjacent squadImageKey link and paste that in place of the numbers and letters from the lower quality images: https://images.webapi.gc.middlesbroughfcservices.co.uk/4c2e65a0-53e5-11ef-ab9b-fd0a5b98e420.jpg

Hi guys, 

 

there was years ago a hack to change the url on the uefa.com website. The player pictures are in general 324x324 and it was possible to make them bigger changing the size. I dont remember anymore which size it was. I try for half an hour now and cant fix it. I think it was something 600x400 or similar. But the hack for the sorare thing is also awesome 👍

 

It used to be 400x600 but unfortunately that's not worked for years now

@marrtac Just to let you know there will be far bigger source images for Poland available on the FIFA website once the team page is updated with photos:

@HRiddick I think he has a recent photo in the PL style, no? I believe I saw on the display of United's last game as well as Antony

 

I will produce cuts for all Premier League teams/players I haven't already once better source images are available, hopefully soon, but as of now there aren't any high quality images to work from.

Are these J-league ones available in a higher resolution somewhere?

Every J-League team seems to be covered on sorare - https://sorare.com/leagues/j1-league/home

Is it possible to get larger versions of these from the Young Boys site?

https://www.bscyb.ch/kader

Not the same source but you can get larger images for Young Boys and other Swiss teams on the Swiss Super League website: https://www.sfl.ch/klubs/detail/bsc-young-boys-20222023/#tab-chart-team-1

I requested these types because I think they look a little better with natural lightning in-game, but I'll only be doing a few more 3. Liga teams anyways and then move on to other nations, so you can work out the rest yourself 👍 @HRiddick 

 

Prefer the studio lighting myself so I'll be cutting from those sources for that reason, apologies for not better communicating to prevent duplicates but also I don't ever want to ask anyone to not request sources in case others would prefer cuts in that style 🙂

@HRiddick Did you use an AI-Upscaler on any of this season's cutouts? They definitely seem to be a bit less detailed (e.g. with noticeably smoother skin) than previous ones, almost looking slightly out-of-focus or airbrushed.

 

Yeah I'm using an upscaler for most 2. Bundesliga teams, but one that add's in a lot more detail than that used for previous year's images. I do see what you mean though, the images do look a little too smooth when scaled back down again. I don't want to over sharpen them as then you're just adding noise rather than detail, but I agree they could be a little sharper so I'll take another look at the last two packs again to try and get the balance right.

Hi @krissmed / @weeniehutjr   / Anyone else who can help,

 

Is there a way to save the original images from the official websites?

 

Sometimes they have just a low resolution picture of the player that does not work for cut outs..

 

But i heard that you can take the original picture that have a high resolution and then use that one.

 

Any help is more than welcome! Thanks mate

 

Have a look at this post for getting larger images on EFL websites. If the image is still too low resolution after following these steps, then unfortunately that means the image uploaded to the website is too low res to begin with and otherwise there's nothing you can do.

great work @HRiddick! where you get these sources? I've been looking for Bandiougou Fadiga's one. Best regards!

DAZN and Eurosport - no good source image for Bandiougou Fadiga though I'm afraid

Any ideas?

 

 

Think Windows doesn't allow forward slashes in filenames whereas Macs do - I've reuploaded the file with a different file name so should work now!

All attached HRiddick, cheers for taking the time. 

 

Create a folder called “players” and drag all your facepacks into there, hopefully that should get everything working 👍
