Just restored the newest Kluge update for the Masterdatabase and for my own one.
Never had such a hard time to decide which photos to choose 

Kluge seems to go with recent photos of all actors and actresses.
Sometimes I like to keep pictures that were done in the prime of the actor.
But I cannot say this generally, lol.

So I made some very personal choices here, just depending on my personal taste

What is a headshot?
A head shot is a front-on (facing straight at the camera) photograph, with the face being the center of the picture and containing minimal, neutral, or no surroundings. The facial expression is usually neutral.  The entire head with hair should be visible and should be cropped no lower than the collar bone.

Age
A headshot should be taken when the person was last active.  If an actor hasn't worked in film for 40 years, their headshot should be from when they were active - 40 years ago, not a recent one.  If you find someone where the database has a recent headshot and they're not active in film, please replace it with one from the time they were active and be sure to note it when you contribute it.

Size matters
The larger the source photograph, the higher the quality will be in DVDP.

Size doesn't always matter
If the existing headshot is large but not a traditional headshot (ie: looks like they're trying to fit their entire body into the frame), a much smaller and traditional headshot will be accepted.

Screen Caps
A screen cap will never be accepted over a traditional headshot unless it is superior in quality.

Backgrounds
If two headshots are of comparable quality but the background in one makes it harder to see the hair or form, the other will be accepted.

Text
A crappy headshot will be accepted over any headshot with text or writing on it.  Important note: Text that is part of the background such as from a star walk is acceptable.  Any headshot will be accepted if it replaces one with a copyright.

Hi Donnie,
I'm trying to follow Dr. Killpatient's suggestions, but sometime I could be wrong, so I trust your judgment.
