enjoy 😉

Recut 👍

 

Once you put them through remove.bg, what program(s) and technique(s) are you using to convert them to cut-outs?

Can we have the original source for these 2 images without the background removed?

@MattAesir, what program(s) and technique(s) are you using for your cuts? They have hardly any hair details whatsoever and a thin light-coloured line around the edges. This makes them unlikely to be considered as improvements to the current megapack cuts.

 

Can we have the original source for these 2 images without the background removed?

@MattAesir If the source is big enough, please make the cut in 250x250, especially if they already have one in that size 👍

@MattAesir Who did you mean to submit this to? This is the picture that is on the Shakhter page for this person

Is this on Photoshop or Photopea?

You're just showing me where you're saving them to 😉 I meant to ask you to show me the method you're using to save them.

 

 

Frankly, whichever method you're doing, if you put them through remove.bg once you're done and overwrite your previous versions, it'll remove the odd bit of snow and save them to a more reasonable file size. 43MB for 17 cuts is gigantic. Imagine the size of update packs with 5,000 images if that were the average filesize.

@mattdonne, these are, yet again, huge. There's no reason why a cut has to be 5.7MB. When saving them, can I have a screenshot of what you're saving them as?

@mattdonne, I'm not sure what technique you used to cut and save the ones in this pack but they're all extremely large for no particular reason I can discern. A cut should be anything from 40-120kb depending on size, so not sure how you managed to get them to be 2MB. I've tweaked them a bit and will reupload them shortly.

 

I recommend using remove.bg for your cuts. It's a fantastic free online tool which does the heavy lifting for you by removing the background in the source image, leaving you to only rotate, crop and/or nudge the collar upwards. It's tremendously easy to use and provides fantastic quality. With it, you can go from source to cut in a couple of minutes for the vast majority of images.

 

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.
