@Damon Wright, you wouldn't happen to know who the guy in the previous cut is? Long shot, I know…

 

It's the same person. Taken from his LinkedIn account.

This isn't Bence Hurguly - this is a photo of someone working for the polish federation, which Hurguly was never a part of.

 

The real Bence Hurguly can be found here:

Wrong - Monah Arel is on the right in the photo

Sorry for double posting, forgot to sharpen the cut - the second one should look better

My good friend @Sopel, you can upload a batch of images in a pack once you're done for the day or the cutting session, and the forum itself will assign them to the right person automatically , even if they're requests. This way you can save yourself a good chunk of time and go through the uploading process just once instead of having to search for each person's timeline and uploading each of them individually 😉

 

 

Thanks mons - yeah, I got a bit mixed up, sorry! Just wanted to be sure that the request would be set as ‘Completed’.

@mons just pointing out that the current photo isn't of the player it's linked to

Turns out it's much easier than I thought, thanks for the tips!

Yes, I did have to upscale them, couldn't find a better source for some of them, I tried my hardest to get the most out of them, if the club uploads better pics I'll redo these cuts.

 

Sorry about it being off-center, my vision must have been askew 😛  
Is there a way to get this fine line in the middle in Gimp? Would be really helpful to me.

@mons small edit

@mons I did an oopsie, sorry it's late

Jest więcej

W sensie, na zdjęciu jest Filip
Już sam się gubię

Niewłaściwy, ten którego dodałeś to Luka.
Ale już zostaw, zaraz wytnę

These are twin brothers - Luca and Filip Frei.
This is not an alternative picture, this is the other brother xD

@weeniehutjr Thanks! And congrats on finding anything on that guy, because I couldn't find any other pic of him xD

@mons

Okay, maybe you're right
Is this one better?

Also, in terms of brightness - I kept in mind the pigmentation of the players' skin, I tried to achieve the best balance between the visibility of face details and their real-life colors.

They are already brightened and color corrected! The sources come from the official Barbados FA site but are... less than ideal. And I always try to center them with the focus on the face placement, you can tell me which ones you don't like and I may get them redone.

Hey @mons, I don't know which photo is newer/better so here's another version

Yeah, I know, I'm just assuming there are people like me who would rather have 21 yo players look up to their age, not being forever stuck at 15 yo Also, we are talking here about seriously low league players so I guess not many people really care if their faces are 250 px high quality, rules should be obeyed to with a dose of sensible thinking, just because someone took a HQ picture at the age of 14 it doesn't mean it automatically beats a photo of the same person at the age of 21 at lower, yet acceptable quality. But I guess rules are the rules, you're the one who makes the call so this piece of mind is all I can do here

Angle and lighting are nothing that cannot be fixed with a little effort Anyways it seems I won't get past you this way I guess I will cut it myself and try to sneak it in a different way

180 px in height without any stretching and the darkness can be adjusted so it's not really a big deal. Also, the current photo is like 6 years old at this point, come on.

I disagree, it would fit 180x180 just perfectly. Besides, the current photo is quite old.

I accidentally clicked on "I'm working on it" and reopened the request, sorry (BTW, that shouldn't happen, right?)

Not an improvement, in my opinion

@Hasjasja please, next time have mercy with requests like this, provide some decent photo

@t.marinov it was a very good attempt! All you had to do was to just raise the collar in paint or other program of your choosing (f.e. I personally do the collar on the original photo, it's easier) Keep trying!
