@Jan Edwinssen please remember that we want all cuts to include a little bit of collar. At the same time, the ideal cut only contains 2-3 pixels beneath the chin. Since in some sources like this one, the person in the image may have a longer neck than usual, this would be quite difficult to achieve naturally.

I'll fix this one myself, but please keep it in mind for future cuts 👍

Here's a video of the process on how to nudge the collar upwards:

Good work @Jan Edwinssen, but when the source image is small or low quality, as it probably was here, it's best to cut it in 180x180 instead of 250x250, where the larger sources spotlights its poor quality more 😉

Thanks for cleaning up after me @Zangor 🍻

Thanks, but please use the upload image button next time 👍

Cut just a few days ago.

@Frédéric Pigeon, can we please have the original source images for these?

@Tony13, this is cropped only marginally closer to the head, plus it contains some snow. If you want your cuts to be added to the megapack, I urge you to follow the steps in my previous post.

Looks like you may not have actually installed all the files from this download in all the required folder.

Can you first make sure your folders look the same as the ones in the screenshots in the main post? If you think this is the case and it's still not working, drop us screenshots of these folders in here so I can see what might be the matter 👍

@prz37 Good cut, but please remember that we want all cuts to include a little bit of collar. At the same time, the ideal cut only contains 2-3 pixels beneath the chin. Since in some sources like this one, the person in the image may have a longer neck than usual, this would be quite difficult to achieve naturally.

I'll fix this one myself, but please keep it in mind for any future cuts you may do 👍

It got automatically marked as completed after the uploading of the update pack earlier today, since an image had been added for him. I've re-opened it. Do keep in mind that we have no way of knowing when an image was taken, unless the requester tells us of its relevance…

Given the sheer amount of pending images and the size of your request packs, I would suggest try to cut at least some of them. For those which don't need the collar nudged, all you need is to crop them to an area around the face, put them through remove.bg and finish them in 250x250 😉

Also, as already suggested just a few days ago, please @ me or another moderator if you want to ask a question or want action to be taken, given how fast the forum moves.

This has been cut just a few days ago, There's no need for it again.

Update 2024.07 is now available for download. 

It contains 7,200 new or improved images and takes the total amount of cut-outs in the megapack to 462,958 👏

I'll have another look at all 4, but seems like the current cut might have been considered preferable

Let's not start requesting these kind of rubbish small images again @elpadre77580 again please

This is evidently much too small to be worth cutting @superawr, do use a smidgen of common sense…

Again @biavva, please remember that we want all cuts to include a little bit of collar. At the same time, the ideal cut only contains 2-3 pixels beneath the chin. Since in some sources like this one, the person in the image may have a longer neck than usual, this would be quite difficult to achieve naturally.

Time to read and start following the forum guidelines @Ivaylo.P…

Not large enough to provide an improvement.

We want the player's face to fill the canvas for the 250px cutout, which would mean cropping the image along these red lines:

@43692927 For future requests, can you please provide the full-size image without the background removed?

@Romics, having had the time to check some of the images in your packs, most of them contain some snow:

Care should be taken to avoid snow on cuts as much as possible. This short and easy-to-understand video shows a good method of how to quickly spot and clean snow. Apart from snow in the edges of the cut as displayed in this video, some cuts include loose pixels detached from the head, especially around the chin and ears. Special care should be taken to remove these pixels if they are not part of the cut as they are very evident in-game on a dark skin.

Here's a more recent video of the process:
 

Did you use an AI image enlarger perchance @Snipe2irt? Do avoid doing so because the eventual cut will look overly sharpened…

I don't think this is the right image for this player @KorlOne. Can you please provide the location where you found this? Will put it back on pending once you do and it's confirmed that the image is for the right person.

Thanks for the heads-up @kurovski, but I have no plans for further releases to this file.

You can very easily edit it yourself in your file by opening the Competitions and other Fixes.lnc file with Notepad, navigating to the section for Brazil, and making the changes that you want, which will be save-game compatible 😉

@toxicwave, can you please provide the full-size image without the background removed for this guy? Actually, please do so for all images that you upload.

This thread contains guidelines for what we're looking for in our cuts in terms of dimensions, snow, collars, face orientation etc. and video tutorials for each element.

@Tony13  Can you provide us with the original source images of the rejected cuts without the background removed so that we can cut them accordingly?

If you want to give them another go yourself, I would recommend using remove.bg, which is a free online tool which removes the background to an excellent standard, for free and almost instantly.

Here's a couple of videos on how to use it, one when combined with Photoshop and another using photopea.com, which is a free online app so close to Photoshop that it has the same shortcuts, layout and icons.

If you don't have Photoshop, photopea.com is the tool I would recommend to use to tweak the draft cut produced by remove.bg. It's more powerful and versatile than GIMP and other similar tools.

We've already told you several times to crop cuts closer to the chin, nudging the collar up if need be @malman. Cuts as dark as this should also be brightened. Please take note of the guidelines and the feedback you're being given before uploading any more images. If something isn't clear, just ask 👍

@biavva, we've already pointed out that all cuts must have a collar. You've ignored that, so I'll reject all your cuts which don't.

At the same time, the ideal cut only contains 2-3 pixels beneath the chin. Since in some sources, the person in the image may have a longer neck than usual, this would be quite difficult to achieve naturally.

Again, here's a video of the process on how to nudge the collar upwards:

Darker images like this will look much better if they're brightened @reiver 

Do keep an eye out for snow @TiagoSeattle 

@leoleng93, it's getting tiring repeating the same things. I admire your dedication and commitment, but images like this have a bit of snow and could do with being brightened. Please take more care before uploading your packs.
