Quite often player and staff images have been taken on a football pitch, or the person is wearing a bright coloured shirt. This can cause a distracting reflection on the face of the person in an otherwise good quality picture. In the Megapack at least, not much of the persons' shirts are visible (and certainly not the pitch!), so without a properly visible source for the reflection the images might end up looking a little bit funny. Fortunately removing the colour reflection is generally not very difficult.

This is Patrick Ochs with his loud shirt shining on his face on the left, and on the right with the extra green erased:

http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg300/duccio_fm/cut_outs/colour.jpg

I posted this mostly to point out that this "problem" exists, but here is a short walk through on how to remove the reflection in Photoshop (very rudimentary of course):

Obviously the reflection is going to be present on surfaces that are at some angle facing its source. In facepack pictures this would usually mean under the chin/jaw, on the cheeks, on the underside of the nose, just under the eyebrows etc.
Select discoloured areas of roughly similar brightness/saturation with one of the lasso tools.
Add an adjustment layer for hue/saturation. → The new layer will have a mask made out of the selection, so the layer will only affect the selected area. (At this point you may want to turn the layer's lightness to +-100 to make the unmasked area visible, and then add some feather from the mask's properties. Set the lightness back to 0.)
Adjust the layer's hue/saturation/lightness to make the person's skin tone look normal in the unmasked areas.
Reapeat from step 2 for different discoloured spots if there still are some.

What do you think?

"All requests from last spoiler are posted as a mixpack in team request thread ". That's what BajaHater posts each and every time he collects the undone images under a new spoiler so it should be quite clear, or has always been to me anyway. I agree that it wouldn't hurt having a say about it in the first post too though.

Naturally it has been clear to you, always. It has not been my intention do many requests, so I have not paid much attention to spoilers which as single posts soon disappear from the newst page anyway. I did take care to read instructions where I found them though. That Stephan Heller had been requested earlier was a mere coincidence which I spotted, and then tried to accommodate in a pertinent manner. Of course there has been no harm done, and its good to have it spelled out how things function here.

Just ignore all but the latest spoiler and anything requested after that. Every time a new spoiler is posted the images left in the previous spoiler will be released as a mixpack in the teampack request forum like said.

If it is an established practice, then it could be worthwhile to add some sort of synopsis about it to the first post.

Always check the latest spoiler including all undone images. That spoiler will include all undone images since the previous spoiler and all undone request from the previous spoiler will then be released as a mixpack which you can find from the team pack request thread. Completed requests will have (or at least should have!) the source image or/and link to the source image removed so it's easy to stay on track.

So to sum it up:
- Anything in the latest spoiler is yet to be done.
- All requests after the latest spoiler are yet to be done, unless the source image or/and link to the source image are removed. Obviously check if the request have been completed very recently and the request maker have not had time to edit the original post.
- All other undone requests can be found from the team pack request thread as mixpacks.

Sure. I did look at a spoiler though, just not the latest one. A whole bunch of images right here (including the one I cut).

Like I said,all old requests are done,only guys from this spoiler (but they are already requested as mixpack on team request list) and from this spoiler are undone.Huge missing mixpack done by Andr3 is here.

Thanks for the link to the mixpack.

I was not asking if some specific requests were done, but if there is one general list of names of the personnel whose images have been completed. Especially of those done but not released yet. Might be a useful tool to have a separete thread where cutters post names and ids of finished work, so it would be easier to keep track on what has been done. The again, perhaps it would just be more work or cause more confusion.

He is done in huge mixpack with all undone requests by Andr3 and will be in next update,if you want to help with requests in this thread,just go on previous page,and open the spoiler with undone requests.

I have been egotistically cutting images I have needed my self... Is there somewhere a list of personnel who have been done, but are pending a release?

Also, where is the huge mixpack? I tried looking through the team request thread, but could not find a download that referred to old spoilers..

ducc,nothing wrong with your background removing,but please don't crop just under Adam's Apple,crop it all the way to the chin while keeping shirt (collar) minimum 2-3 pixels visible

OK sure, I can do that.

Though, unless I have overlooked it, there is at best only an implicit mention of such recommendation in the instructions.

↑↑ I updated images of Luca Piazzi, Mattia Zambaldi and Christian Thuile to show a little bit less of their necks. Manfioletti does not have a neck anyway...
