I've never used GIMP, but I believe you should be able to do only the most basic cuts with it. Photoshop gives you a lot more flexibility and room for maneuvre though...

Best of luck, and hope to see some work from you in the future

GIMP is not as good as Photoshop but I can not justify the cost of photoshop as cutting is all I would really use it for.

Hehe, no worries, appreciate your honesty. However, some of the sources are so easy to cut that you would probably be able to cut them yourself.

I know you probably think it's too hard to master the technique, but I assure you it's quite easy to learn. If you use Vertus Fluid Mask on some of your plainer sources, it would probably take you no more than 2-3 minutes at most and probably even quicker, especially once you get used to the technique. For example, your Pennant source yesterday only took me a couple of minutes to cut. Apart from the Charlie Cole request, I'm pretty sure you would be able to produce cuts for your other requests from yesterday in 5 minutes once you get the hang of it. You start off with the easy and bald ones, but then progress to the slightly harder cuts once you get the hang of it.

Have a look at this video and see how straight-forward it is, and consider giving it a go And if you're in doubt about the quality of your cut or needs tips or guidance, just post in here or in the comment section of the individual request itself

Nobody was born an expert, after all

Thanks Mons, I will have a go and see how I get on. I usually use GIMP as I don't have Photoshop which might be what holds me back a little. I will do some practising and hopefully start posting some work soon.

Good to see you cutting @JasonLFC10 , some very good work for a newbie

One thing though, the cut-out size is 180x810 pixels I'll resize automatically all the ones you posted, no worries, but something to keep in mind for the future

Hi Mons, I will be honest these are not my own cuts. They are extracts from the game. Thanks for the heads up on the sizing I will check before posting any others in future. I didn't think to check them.
I have had a go at cutting although I don't rate my own work good enough to post just yet. Hair is the worst for me, I can do short hair and bald not too bad!

This one miss small part of the hair,but what about all the others?!I've found better\bigger sources for all of them.Better\bigger source will give us a real improvement and much better final cut.

@BajaHater Im not intentionally posting smaller sources. I was using Luton club website for these requests and some of the other larger images were missing the top like this one. I will spend more time searching for best images for future requests.

@JasonLFC10 Would you please be kind a start posting best available sources.

@BajaHater I did consider posting that image but was concerned that the top being cut off would be an issue?

Is the new source more recent? I think I can create a smoother cut with it.

Yes new source is much newer. Appreciate you taking a look

I have just downloaded it again and the Hereford home and away kits still don't work.

I've done this a number of times but still can't get Hereford home and away kits to work?

Not sure where this should be posted but in the latest pack I have Ronaldo Vieira's image has been used for Romario Vieira. They are brothers and both at Leeds but they don't look exactly the same unfortunately.
