@pedroduarte30 @mons 

This cut has the same issue as pointed out previously. Refer to the comment made previously through the link down below.

https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/browse/1/491762/timeline#comment_633739

One more thing worth noting is that if the source itself is not big enough for a 250px (usually indicated by huge loss in quality once you enlarged it), you may want to keep it as a 180px instead.

@pedroduarte30  @mons 

Appreciate the effort on attempting but you may need to check on the snow issue.

Please refer to the tutorial offered by the forum from the link down below.

https://sortitoutsi.net/content/359/megapack-technical-support-thread

Specifically for this cut, you have snow surrounding the whole cut. You may want to check your cuts in a black background in the future. Attached I have a pic of your cut in a black background.

@Kotyora @mons 

In terms of using sources on transfermarkt, replace https://img.a.transfermarkt.technology/portrait/header/ with  https://tmssl.akamaized.net/images/portrait/originals/
in the url. This will help you extract the full sized image on the site instead of the usual 181px limited on the site.

Have the full sized source here, use it for a 250px cut

What about this one? @Ttggfr 

 

Much better

Edit: although there was a thick outline of snow (still better than the original 180px cut), I have made my attempt to fix it, should be all good now

@giovannidoko16 

Sorry I was a bit too late on this.

But in terms of using sources on transfermarkt, replace https://img.a.transfermarkt.technology/portrait/header/ with  https://tmssl.akamaized.net/images/portrait/originals/
in the url. This will help you extract the full sized image on the site instead of the usual 181px limited on the site.

 

You may cut with this if you want

@mons @Mateee Found a better source for you as the first google search result, not repeating the same debate again, but may you cut from this instead?

@mons @Mateee 

A better source from transfermarkt.

To extract the full size image, as taught by weeniehutjr , replace https://img.a.transfermarkt.technology/portrait/header/ with  https://tmssl.akamaized.net/images/portrait/originals/
in the url.

@Ttggfr Just upscaling the cutout by janedwinssen means it becomes far too blurry. The source image above is of excellent quality so it would be a shame not to have a high quality cutout.

 

made a rash decision on just closing down the space beneath the chin and fixing the snow(partly, my ability is still training on this one) of the original cut. Should have started from the original source

I prefer this one, not that there's anything ‘wrong’ in the original cut tbf. It's just that this one looks a bit more in keeping with the standard megapack look when it comes to the collar.

 

I'm a bit wary about pointing out minor issues such as this one tbh. Most cuts could be tweaked in some way or other, so I prefer to focus on providing feedback for those where more evident issues are present 🙂

 

Understood.

@janedwinssen  I hereby apologize if my comments on minor issues or misjudgment made your day a bad one.

@mons the source used for this cut seemed to be the 150x150 from sofascore, which would be better if it was made into a 180px, or would you have other method to make it into a 250px?

@mons something like this?

Edit: While I am reminding people of the most common mistakes such as snow, finding a better source, I am still learning myself on the preferences, such as less preferable for hats and sunglasses, sleeves and such, please educate me on these preferences and I can learn to fix these as well

@janedwinssen @mons 

I believe this was the source you were using?

Please check the right hand side (our left, right of the cut). seems like part of the sleeves were wrongfully removed, which was quite often for remove.bg users

@LFCYNWA  @mons 

I believe that you are cutting from the youtube video thumbnail pic, and please check the indicated area of your cut under a black background. Sometimes the people making the thumbnails of youtube vids may not mind small details like this lol.

@mons not sure about this one, is pointing fingers within a cutout acceptable should there be no other adequate source? or we may need clone stamping of some sort?

@mons  @12345cieza 

two things for this cut

1. snow around the hair
2. not sure if the source is more suitable for a 180px than a 250px

@Mateee no one is saying that your work is not tedious. But we are just saying you could have used better sources for several cases, which you probably should have. Making several cuts does not mean you can discard the quality, especially when it is something that you could have easily done.

Also, if it is in terms of sheer quantity, look at the numbers of how many graphics submission that @mons  @Baja  and even my total number of graphics submission and try again. 

No one is disrespecting your work here, but you are doing a disgrace to yourself by putting in such attitude when someone actually made attempts to fix your work, such as finding a better source for you, fixing your cuts etc. If someone made legit claims about your work and helped, just take it, admit that you could have done better, then move on.

Time and time we have to have this debate and it really is tiring for all of us involved, and I believe you are feeling the same way as well. You have been focusing on how tedious your work is, which we all believe it IS INDEED tedious, but TEDIOUS WORK DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD NOT STRIVE FOR QUALITY. Which it is the point we CONSTANTLY trying to put across.

Again, we all made bad submissions, and we all made mistakes, but how you handle it shows how mature of a person you are.

It is time probably for all of us to learn and grow up from this incident and hope you have learnt not to make the same mistakes again. You as a staff member, should be acting maturely instead of a spoiled kid who only excuses himself from mistakes.

@allanfcl  the cut itself is definitely not a bad cut but is not an improvement compared to the existing one, especially when the existing one is 250px and the cut you provided is only suitable for a 180 px

You may also want to adjust the cut so that the cut does not seem to be in a diagonal shape

Original source

@mons  @LFCYNWA 

You may want to fix the thin outline on the left(our right, left of the cut).

Although I understand it may not be as simple as using remove.bg to try and fix it as the original source seems to be pre-cut.

In some photos I had to leave so much space, if I cropped it the photo would be less than 250x250, the source is not too high resolution.
I know my images are not perfect, I didn't spend too much time on it. But I think my images are better than old images that are 5-6 years old. And some players do not have a photo at all, so maybe it's better to let there be at least those? Moreover, I have seen a lot of low-quality photos in the megapack, so I did not think that you have too high requirements for them.
In general, I would like to have an online tool for creating a cut-out photo, so that you can upload the original photo, and the algorithm would cut out the background and determine where the face is in the photo and cut it out, it seems to me now it's realistic to implement it.
As for my photos, I can give you the sources that I took on the official site of the football club, and you can make them as you want.

 

@Bl0ck I cannot control what the other cutters produced (I tried to offer advice and critics but got battered multiple times lmao), though I hope the new cutters can try to stick to the standards as close as possible, considering the sources you cut from is not that bad based on my observation. (Although sometimes it was not the cutting technique, but the source is just too bad but still the cutter decided to use it, then………..)

 

Of course the current ones would still be better than nothing and quite a lot of blurry cutouts I see in the obscure leagues. Though you may send me the sources in private messages and I will see if I would want to do any fix.

 

After you used remove.bg the cuts you produced in this pack already improved a lot. Should you work on other requirements you could be a good facecut producer.

 

As for the algorithm thing you mentioned. I would pray day and night for it so that the site can deal with the 150 pages(each page has 50 pics) worth of source. Unfortunately I am nowhere near blessed in terms of IT and programming.

@Bl0ck same for this one, the chin.

 

You may want to check the rest of the pack yourself, but another tip for doing these cuts would be to rotate the source before cutting such that the cut may look better. You may private message me or the staff members around here for guidelines

@Bl0ck as promised I am here to check.

 

For this cut it seemed like you have left too much space beneath his chin. Refer to the guide for more details. Usually there is just 2 to 3 px beneath the chin.
