A bit of a quandary this 😕 But between FIFA and his club, I trust his club more to get it right…

@Danyqua 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.

If you want to give it 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.

@yaal, are you going to take note of the guidelines of this forum and our feedback? If you can't even bother to reply to this message, I don't see why you should continue to form part of this community.

@kangur94, you've been here long enough that you should know our guidelines well enough by now:

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

At the same time, we want all cuts to include a little bit of collar. 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.

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

b) this cut has a fair bit of snow. Snow is the colour from the background of the cut which was not totally removed. It is often white (hence ‘snow’) but it can be other colours. It can often be easily removed by putting the cut through remove.bg.

Here's a video on how you can easily remove any remaining snow thereafter within Photoshop:

@SDMD, any idea what the source images was?

Good work @Ignacio Espinoza Osses 

Can I suggest that you remember to mark images you're working on, to make sure no one else takes them on at the same time without knowing they've been cut already?

If you're taking on a whole pack, you can do it in one click too 😉

I don't disagree in general, but I'm sure you'll agree there will be some instances where some minor tweaks definitely give a visible improvement 🙂

Please use the upload multiple button @Ignacio Espinoza Osses 

@noxrain, adding to what I just posted elsewhere, it's always good if you refine the original source to get the best possible version in-game.

For example, brightening darker images like this one always looks better in-game. The easiest way is to go to this tab in Photoshop:

and tweak the brightness slider.

There is also a Photoshop action file, available for download here, which contains a lot of common actions, including one for brightening, for ease of use 😉

@lotsgon, not a bad cut, but there are larger sources available, like the one I uploaded, which will lead to a better cut and one in 250x250 instead of 180x180.

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

@noxrain, not your fault but these sources all had more saturation than needed and all the players looked like they spent a day out in the sun without applying some sun lotion 😉 Always good to desaturate images like these for a more natural look 🙂

@caetano10, you're on two warnings for the exact same thing. Why do you keep ignoring us? Ignore this too, and I'll ban your account.

The photo is too small, and the team not that well known that we'd be able to tell easily 😉

🍻

Not large enough, as the above cut demonstrates.

@halvard352. not bad, but this cut has a fair bit of snow:

@sergi_ads, when there are two people in a photo, it's a good idea to tell us which is the one you'd like us to cut 😉

This is fine. As long as they're within the graphics folder, the game will read them 👍

Is it not a real image then? Don't do that again, please.

Did you also accidentally download all these too?

@shubert1402, common sense should dictate that images like this are too small to be cut, especially since you yourself have already uploaded a better image. Do take the time to check the guidelines before uploading any more images 👍

Read the thread title.

@halvard352, good work but a couple of things to keep in mind please:

a) when you have a lot of images to upload, then you should upload them as a pack instead of individually and save the both of us some time.

You can also upload up to 50 images per pack instead of just a maximum of 3 when done individually.

b) please remember to mark images you're working on, to make sure no one else takes them on at the same time without knowing they've been cut already?

@Vasyliy, can we have the original source image? Because this has quite some snow and it's easier to cut from scratch rather than fix.

@Okdr, please avoid requesting images this small…

If only there was a submission forum in which people provided images for the community to cut 🤔 

Or do you expect us to do that for you as well?

You appear to have ignored most of what I told you in my previous communication, particularly in this post and this post too 😕

Please be sure to follow the guidelines and our replies to your questions, because it's a waste of time for all concerned, otherwise.

@RobertMcGrath, can you use the upload image function to provide us with the original source image without the background removed so that we can cut it accordingly?

@SDMD, would be great if you could remember to brighten your cuts. They look much better that way, as you can see…

This has loads of snow and is not cropped just beneath the chin, as per the guidelines @Maajin
