You can simply move your game to another drive, assuming you have more than one drive. Here is a guide

@Andrew2012 Please upload a background where it's clear who the background is of. Read the guidelines if you haven't already

@tochalius Not the correct size

@mons @Side Splitting Pass @Baja @Ernesttico @diogoamaral What do you guys think?

@Cizzu Not an improvement imo.

I'll finalize this one in the next individual request response unless someone beats me to it 😉

I noticed that after I uploaded it. The usual practice is to include all of the hair, but in this instance, where the hair is quite long, I prefer your cut. Upload it as a game ready cut and mons can decide which is better 👍

@julkjulk Are you sure this is the right guy? On their website, it says that this is Levan Kuparadze

Edit: Nevermind, I misread the name

@tochalius Use this technique to rotate the sources before cutting

@tv_capper A lot of snow on this one. Could also use a slight rotation

@LFCYNWA You have to cut closer to the chin and move the collar up like this. If the image is too small, sometimes you can alter the URL and get a larger image. For example you can remove "?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=300&height=350&rnd=132452661360000000" from the URL, you'll end up with a much larger image 👍

@Ashley Franks Your cuts is really crooked. Have a look at this or this

Here is a thread for all things related to contributing to the background megapack. We encourage everyone to read this before contributing to the pack.

Guidelines:
1. What we consider to be a good background:
Person background:
- You can easily recognize the person
- Image is relatively recent, maximum 2-3 years old
- Not directly looking at the camera/in-action shot (if no other image is found then this can be ignored)
- Not photoshopped, i.e this
- No watermark
- Full HD 1920x1080 or 1600x900


Team City background:
- Something iconic from a city/place (skyline, attractions, etc.)
- Daytime pictures are preferred
- 1600x900 or 1200x675 resolution


Stadium background:
- Image of the stadium, preferably from an aerial view
- Empty pitch, i.e nothing on the pitch
- Full HD 1920x1080 or 1600x900


Stadium inside:
- Try to get as much of the stadium in shot as possible, quality permitting
- Picture of the pitch from inside the stadium
- Empty pitch, i.e nothing on the pitch
- Distorted and curved photos only to be used as a last resort if nothing else available
- Has to be a picture of the pitch (good example, bad example)
- 1200x720 or 800x480 resolution

- The same quality, but noticeable more recent (new team, new kit, new hairstyle, etc.).
- Better angle

Team City background:
- Higher quality
- More in line with the guidelines
- Something more iconic for the city (i.e skyline, attractions, etc.)

Stadium background:
- Higher quality
- More in line with the guidelines
- The same quality, but noticeable more recent (i.e after upgrades, new sponsors etc.).

Stadium Inside:
- Higher quality
- More in line with the guidelines
- The same quality, but noticeable more recent (i.e after upgrades, new sponsors etc.).

Where to find HQ backgrounds:
- Google Earth Pro
- Google Maps
- Getty Images You can remove the watermarks on this site
- Flickr
- Advanced Google Image search (With large filter)
- Transfermarkt profiles (Under gallery. Inspect the element and you will find a source link in the HTML code)

Missing players/staff isn't showing under cut out submission search. For example, Aidan Francis at Luton Town, is not showing on Luton Town's cutout page.

@Mall Musicc Great cut for being one of your first 👍
Some areas to improve on:
- This can easily be cut in 250x250, assuming you cut this
- Use remove.bg if possible. There is guide on it here
- Try to rotate you sources before starting the cutting process. Here is guide for doing it on PS CS2 and online

Do these things and your cuts will be much better 👍

@Juan Millihand Some snow on this one. Please remove it using this method

Could be cut closer to the chin as well. You can use this method to move the collar up.

@Juan Millihand Give this one another go. A lot of snow and a lot of room under the chin on this one. Here's a couple of guides on how to improve your cuts 👍

@Juan Millihand Completed cuts has to be 250x250

@mons Add this to the next update pack

I believe he's referring to spam getting sent over PM. I have reported it to footygamer already.

@Hansstr Could you please include some collar in your cuts?

@Hansstr You have to include some collar to avoid the chicken-neck effect. Please have a look under "collar" here.

@raris001 This is not the correct size. The cut has to either be 250x250 pixels or 180x180 pixels.

In instances like this, where you can easily find an HQ source like this, but lack the skills to cut it, it would be much better if you requested it and waited patiently for it to be cut.

@12345cieza Try to leave a smaller gap under the chin, like this:


You can use this technique to move the collar in instances like this where the neck is too long.

I'll reopen the source and you can have another go at it 👍

@justt No noticeable change in appearance and the current cut is higher quality.

@justt Some snow on this cut. Please upload a fixed version if you can 👍

I believe it's too small, but I hope I am wrong on that 😉
