Emmeli, I saw that post, but it appears it is not approved yet. So, I don't see anything wrong with the headshot I added to cast & crew.

Here is my collection of headshots for Cast and Crew, updated November 2014 (refresh if you have January update in cache)

This is a full database, with only headshots of my collection.

Options :
1/ headshots are really "headshots", meaning I avoid images showing torso or whole body, except group photos (ex: New World Harmonica Trio). I also try to always remove added text.
2/ age is "middle career" age.
3/ names are correctly spelled.
4/ headshots that concern different people with same name have a birth year. Those BY may be validated by Invelos, but some are not, and some are even fake when real BY is unknown. A fake BY is 90xx, xx using the roman numeral  in IMDb database.

List of non official (by Invelos) BY of this update is:

Alan Ladd 9002

As I am completley emotionless on the following issue, I would suggest the users here decide this.

The HS database of surfeur51 contains a lot of good headshots but it also contains actors and acresses written differently than they have to be written according to Invelos rules, also there might be by not approved in it.

Pro: good headshots
Contra: invalid birthyears and actors named differently (you can of course delete all those later with the Database tool)

Please let me know if I should add them to v10 or not.

cheers

IMHO it would be best not to add it.

But there is a solution to contribute the improvements at least after the release of v10:

1) Someone needs to import surfeurs database into his own database and accept the pictures which have improved.
2) After the release of v10 you'll see when improting and comparing pics from v10 which good pics are tried to be overwritten with worse pics. Write down all these actors names in a text file.
3) Create a profile and add all these actors from the list to the profile.
4) Export as usual.

Of course step 1) includes a lot of subjectivity and depends greatly on the person's taste who does it.

Since I already did step 1) for my personal collection I'd be also willing to do step 2-4, but beware: That's no guarantee that you get all the pics YOU like more, only the ones I like more. 

Best would be, if one or two others could do the same...

I really hope though, that surfeur51 one day takes another look on how to contribute partial updates, that would save quite some hours of comparing...

Ok, but please, tell me how you will do for those headshots in V10?

Here, we can share the information each of us found, sometimes spending much time. It is very sad to get a wrong headshot for one actor, just because we would use here contribution rules for non contributable data, which is the case for HS...

I have improved some HS since my January update, but I have also added hundreds (perhaps a few thousands) totally new headshots. The fact that I add each day many new headshots is the main reason why I do not work with partial updates . To build partial updates would cut by two the number of new HS in the same time, and I made the choice to get as many new HS as possible in the time I have for this activity.

Haven't thought of that, you're right. There's no way I can sort out these.

Well, I also try to add many new/improved headshots to my collection, but it doesn't take me that long to add each actor to a manual profile after adding/improving the photo. Sure, maybe I could have collected 50-100 last year more for me, but if everybody thought this way, I couldn't have added thousands of pics from other dedicated users here.

I'm more proud to have collected around 1400 headshots myself and shared since v9, than I would be if I had added 1500 or 1600 and kept them to myself. Already have 150 new ones ready since my last update, and I'll be happy to collect as much as my time allows me before the deadline for v10.

But that's just my humble opinion.

I only have 1 Drew Barrymore in my database, the one from 1975. She is a producer as well. Is there another? Because I have no BY for her in the database.


As allready said there is another actress with the same name. There's allready an approved BY. So the one without the 1975 BY should be the actress from Pariah. I've got Pariah, but I can't check it right now to confirm it because I'm not home right now, but it's very unlikely that this is the same Drew Barrymore.  As soon as I've got some time and when I'm at home I try to check it asap.

Surfeur51's update has some nice updates, but unfortunately there are also a lot of headshots which aren't updated from previous updates. So it would be nice if someone can pick out the improvements and add them to V10. Unfortunately there are more downgrades than upgrades, so a no from me to add all of surfeur51's updates.

Though I still want to thank everybody for all the updates so please continue with posting these.

I think that we just have not the same taste about what is a good headshot. The biggest is not always the best especially when HS are not real "headshots", showing the torso. A good photo showing an old man that played only as a child is also not a good photo for me.

The advantage of different collections is to let each one choose what he prefers.

To illustrate my point of view:
On this photo, we have a good quality photo of Nicole Kidman, and a cropped version of the same photo. In the comparison screen of DvdProfiler, the second one will seem of poor quality, with many pixels...

But in the layout of the profile, the small image shows clearly the actor, though the big one is just reconizable...

Personnally I don't see the example you gave as a downgrade, that's just taste  . There were a lot of headshots which were allready updated in previous updates with better or newer pictures.

Some examples

With adding surfeurs database to v10 I did NOT mean to accept all headshots blindly

I would compare them as i do it with all other updates I add to v10.
Of course this will be my personal taste, as it always has been since I took over the headshot database.

The downside will be you get alot of actors with different written names and fake birthyears that are not approved.

I do not have an opinion on this, as I do not care about birthyears at all anymore and the names that are written differently i just get rid of with a database repair.

But you all should decide this, not me alone
