i know how to search and find the best available pictures, no worries. don’t assume.
go check my submission list instead on how to appropriately assess someone’s contribution history. and we don’t need the imperial plural now, do we?

 

If you know how to search good pics, why you keeping submitting bad ones and complaining about not being cut? 😕

 

Yes, I know your submission history. Good photos were cut, bad photos were rejected. This photo is very bad, therefore it's rejected. I really don't understand this tantrum 🙄

the picture is fine and can be cut to 180x180. if you choose not to do so, that’s also fine.

the pictures i pick are the best available and provide an upgrade, especially in cases where the active image is between 10-15 years old.

 

Please check the forum to see the guidelines and how to search good pics. https://sortitoutsi.net/forums/12/cut-out-player-faces-forum

 

If you submit bad pics, we're going to reject them. It's that simple.

so? he’s not looking towards the camera in the active picture either, which also has the nice bonus of being distorted.

there are thousands of profile pictures in the db of people with few photographs, if at all, that do not face the camera or the photographer, current or recent ones.

 

The quality is also quite poor; it's a very grainy photo. It's clearly worse than the current one, I don't understand your point. 😕

there is no other available for the time being.

 

You kinda answered yourself. If there isn't a good photo, then don't submit a bad one. 😀

Sir @Lebohang Mokoena , you had somewhere the best sources for cutting out images of players' faces for each specific championship. Could you give me the link to the page with images from the main and lower Portuguese leagues as well as from the Brazilian leagues? Thank you.

 

fpf.pt the web of the portuguese football has a lot of images and some of them in good quality: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/40518/source-links?page=11#comment_802883

@LukaszHass Current pic looks good enough, don't you think? 🙂

@Ibarra Before uploading a cut, at least check that there isn't a better one.

@tomdubs Please stop making 180x180 cuts when there are hundreds of photos available that could be made in 250x250.

Sorry, but how can you tell here my image was not an improvement, instead of the other pic with the head turned all on one side 

 

Because it has a lot of snow and missing hair details because the top of her head is missing. Remeber to check the cuts on a dark background and you'l see it 🙂

 

You can check also the tutorials and guidelines topic to fix this 🙂 https://sortitoutsi.net/content/360/guide-to-cutting-and-assorted-hints-tips-and-assistance

@mons

For visualization purposes, I’ve made four example cuts from the Portugal women’s source pack that’s currently pending (the cuts themselves aren’t perfect — just meant for demonstration).
 

Personally, I prefer cutting at the chin or around the point between the neck and shoulders. Otherwise, the faces become a bit harder to see, and the result starts to look more like the DF11 Player Faces Megapack — which is also a great pack, of course — just with a transparent background. 

 

 

About this, I want to remind everyone that you must still follow the rules, and cuts with a huge gap of 40/50 pixels are not acceptable. In 180 cuts, it make the photo excessively small.

@paul_parrot Not all photos need to be cut. If the photo quality is that bad, it's better not to cut it. 🙂

@Yallii Remeber to check the cuts in a dark background, this one has a lot of snow. 

 

Here's a tutorial for removing snow

@Ben Lane Good cut, but it should be closer to the chin and need to be in the center, check the guidelines 🙂 https://sortitoutsi.net/content/360/guide-to-cutting-and-assorted-hints-tips-and-assistance

@Jan Edwinssen The preferred style is a portrait style, rather than an action pic 🙂

@amad16 Please before submitting cuts, read the guidelines: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/360/guide-to-cutting-and-assorted-hints-tips-and-assistance on how to make them right size, not tilted, etc…

@Jrpmaestro I don't understand why you still make 180x180 cuts instead of 250x250 cuts.

Sorry, I posted in the wrong folder. But what's wrong with these?

 

He has already a 250 cut

@Jrpmaestro What's wrong with you? Why you upload the same pics rejected two days ago?

I prefer to create cut-outs in a way that fully preserves long hair — even if it leaves some extra empty space around the finished cut-out — rather than trimming off the sides of long hairstyles. That’s the style I will use for my cut-outs, and I’m only sharing the cut-outs I made in that way. If that does not comply with the rules and you have no choice but to reject them from your side, I will unconditionally respect your decision.

 

Oh, I have no problem with that at all. Thing is that per rules if you want to preserve the hair (we accept that also), then you should include a bit more neck instead of having an empty gap 🙂

These are the photos directly from the Japanese Football Federation’s website, taken just a week ago. Most of them already have photos, yes, but they’re from 3–4 years ago or even older depending on the players…

But ok, no problem. 

 

We prefer quality over recency. I'm afraid the pics from the JFA aren't good enough.
