@jazos Unfortunately this cutout isn't of the correct person - it's an image of Juho Talvitie from his signing announcement at Lommel SK, and I assume it just showed up on a google images search for Taras Dmytryk because it was just retweeted by him.

im sorry looks like him and found this photo from his twitter. sorry.

@jazos Please never use any kind of image enlarging/sharpening tools, as it makes the face look unnatural

@Drafter if the face look unnatural never upload the image. the neck moved down like the video sample.

This is your first cut at 100% zoom

It's got visible, evident snow in the hair and it is also evidently upscaled from the original source to 250x250 because the image is somewhat blurry and lacking sharpness.

This is @BramNUFC's cut at 100% zoom:

It's clear that there is no snow at all in it, or at the very least significantly less than in your cut.

As per the guidelines, which have been in place for many years now:

If the source is large enough and at a high resolution, the cut should be produced in 250x250. Otherwise the cut should be in 180x180. If, when cut, the source is not already 250x250 (or close), it is ideally downsized, since upsizing a cut leads to a loss of sharpness.

so there is nothing at all wrong with it, as far as I'm concerned. Given the size of the source image, and the area that the face takes up within it, it's clear to me that a 180x180 cut is preferable.

I appreciate you may have considerable experience and expertise in graphic design, but one must keep in mind that we have specific guidelines on what we're looking for in our cuts.

ok i understand. have a nice day!

And still the first cut you posted was blurry

I agree the first image was blurry because the image was low resolution. the second try i think after fixing the hair was correct at 250x250. its your call to choose the better image. if you believe my image was incorrect its ok no problem. i never stop to found people and upload here.

@mons I'm sorry, I don't agree with your opinion that I'm not at that level and of course I don't have your tutorial and I'm using it remove background. I have been a graphic designer for 20 years and i make cut outs without automation. I know which image is blurry and which image is better in upscale.
