@hyperforce, as already indicated and demonstrated yesterday, all cuts need a collar. I shouldn't have to repeat myself. Also, there's a small gap between the cut and the bottom of the canvas. Please make sure to follow the guidelines for any future cuts you upload; they're there to maintain the quality of the megapack and a constant approach across the board.

If you want to cut images which you are aware might not be considered as improvements, we have this thread for them to be posted in. Images in here should really only be those who are to be considered for addition to the megapack. I have around 300 images to check each day (or more realistically, a couple of thousand in the weekend), and I'd really prefer not to have to take up my limited time with images which are clearly not improvements, I hope you understand 👍

Good cut @lost3, but try to have the image in the center of the canvas and cropped a fair bit closer to the top of it too. A bit of added brightness doesn't hurt too 😉

@Krazias the new cut is not remotely as sharp as the current megapack cut which is also very recent, so what's the point in uploading it? You're just giving me more work to remove cuts like this and you're working on cuts which aren't remotely close to being improvements 😕

@Frédéric Pigeon, I suggest you start reading the feedback you're being given and provide the original sources without the background removed, and save everyone a lot of unnecessary duplicate work 😉

This is the cut-out forum. Why are you posting about another pack in here? 😕

From the main post:

@hyperforce, the current cut is quite recent and virtually identical. It doesn't need to be updated, and the cut uploaded isn't as sharp nor does it have a collar anyway.

@hyperforce 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 👍

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

@biavva, if you want to keep uploading images, please follow the guidelines. I can't keep reminding you to include collars in your cuts.

@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.

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.

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:
