Please upload your work here from now on @nikolaosaek 👍


I am trying @mons but it seems that you dont have the referees in the database? They become ALL invalid. The id's are the right ones, taken from the game.

Remember to check image dimensions @nikolaosaek 😉


I found this one at 209×250. I should make it 250x250? I thought that because the height was 250 the wide wouldn't be a problem

No idea what you mean by 1:1 scale. However, if the current cut is of good quality, and the area with the face is 215x215, there's little point upscaling a new source to 250x250 because it'll lose quality and it probably won't be an improvement for me, and I simply won't include it in the megapack

In the case of the source you attached, it actually came to 235x235, so upscaling it to 250x won't lose that much quality. And when compared to the current cut, it's definitely an improvement.


I mean that using the 1:1 it makes a clear circle cut. it remains a circle when i make it bigger or smaller. it helpes me to put the face in the middle, have the 2-3 inches under the neck, and then i cut the pisture. This circle may have a result of 215x215, 235x235 etc. THEN i resize it to 250x250. The 215x215 is better to resize it to 180x180 or just leave it 215x215?? Thats what I am asking. I think in this photo you can see what I mean. This cut makes a 229x229 cut.

Much, much better than your previous work in terms of technique. If you keep going like this, you won't have any complaints from me

The only issue I have is that the original sources aren't very large, and in most cases the face area isn't 250 pixels in height, which means that the cut has to be upscaled, leading to (in most cases slight) loss of quality. The bigger the source image, the better the cut-out, just so you're aware for future reference


I use the 1:1 scale to cut the right possision of the face. If the picture has a rate for ex. 215:215 pixels I resize it ti 250. Maybe it is better to resize downward to 180?? Because the original photos are big I think. This is one of them...

If you use remove.bg to pre-cut sources and photopea.com to work on the resulting cuts, you'll get much better results. All of these tools are free too


Thanks. I keep on getting better. Take a look at these, I think they are really good and improved.

Not bad, but some of them still have the issue I've pointed out with a gap above the head or below the chin which is larger than necessary (e.g. 91155708, 55011049, 36151571, 36148876, 36043072). 2-3 pixels is enough, having more adds nothing to the cut.

Also, it depends on the source images, but a lot of the cuts don't have any hair details whatsoever. What program(s) and technique(s) are you using? Do have a look at the thread I linked to earlier, and perhaps we can offer some additional help on them.

Finally, cuts look better in-game when they're centered (e.g. 62261479) and straight-on instead of slanting to one side (e.g. 36035173, 55004196, 62233879). It's quite easy to rotate the source before cropping the cut, so do take time to do so whenever necessary.

All that criticism aside, they look a fair bit better than your previous efforts, so do keep working and trying to improve your technique


Yes I see what you mean. I use GIMP2, cant find a free photoshop and I struggle to make the neck smaller. I will kepp trying

@nikolaosaek, I believe we've talked about this before, but can you please leave only 2-3 pixels beneath the chin in your cuts. Since a bit of collar is needed in each cut, in cases where the collar is lower than this, then you can lasso it and nudge it upwards as displayed in this thread


I am getting better... look at these

Much better. Hardly any snow, except in 36138788.

Do remember that the size should be 180x180 or 250x250 and not anything else

Even when the source is small, please try and cut much closer to the chin. Unless he has a long beard or long hair, we're not really interested in anything more than 2-3 pixels beneath the chin

I've fixed what I could myself, no need to recut

Sending more faces. Happy new year mate.

I have discovered a free, legal Photoshop equivalent at photopea.com, perhaps it may help

Thanks, I'll check it out.

It's not really ideal for cutting to be honest.

These 2 are much better What about the others?


Gimp2 is free, thats why I use it. Photoshop is not.
I will try to get more for you from Greece.

@nikolaosaek, I've removed your other post as one is enough.

I'm afraid they need a lot more work before they can be added to the megapack. Almost all of them contain loads of snow. What program and technique are you using to cut them? Perhaps we can offer some guide on how to improve your output.

I would suggest requesting the sources again on our request forum so that they can get a better cut.


Is this better??

but game wont allow this it gives the 28th as a start so no big deal

It would be greatly appreciated if the staff responsible for it/any staff here who has any info regarding when this feature will be up and running could let us know as

iirc this feature is usually up and running in early December each year and so if it isnt going to be implemented fully(real fixtures/results) I am sure many members would just like to know and not wait to start a game for an add on that isnt going to happen

cheers

Where can I send you the Greek fixtures?
