The facepack project I am working on is an attempt to have an image that represents a player's career year by year. I am quite happy to send you an example of a yearly file if you wish.

O.K., I went online and found what I believe to be the original team photo. I used that as the starting point for Pick and Hock (attached). Starting from as close to the original as possible generally yields a better result than "enhancing an enhancement". I had to crop way up on Pick's photo since the "REDS" letters got mangled regardless of what I tried.


I will take a pass on the other four. If I were doing an image pack for my personal use, I wouldn't use these if a better (and easier to process) photo for '23 or '25 existed. The uniforms don't appear to differ significantly for those years and a one year age difference would likely be imperceptable. I understand and appreciate your usage case is different but the "cost benefit" calculation for me dictates spending time on photos that process easier and don't require an excess amount of AI unless necessary.
