This thread will be to list pages whose pics are fine as is but are needing quality upgrades, so we don't take up space in the forum with individual threads for them. Swapping a pic with a better-quality version is a free action.
Please add pages that need work to the following Sandbox page: Artifacts 'R' Us

Hammered into the Ground needs a quality upgrade.
Just as a help to others - when a page you mention in here has had its pic spruced up, please strike it out or mark it done in some manner in your post. Thanks!

Strikethrough doesn't appear to be working for me. Can you check my post and let me know what I did wrong?
The code is [[strike:text]]. I had to look that up, myself.

Thanks!
It's missing from the Show Markup Help, which is kind of annoying.
The picture for Animated Musical is super jpegged.

Jawbreakers on sale for 99ยขI took care of the Animated Musical page. Still working on the rest of the JCA character pages that needs to be updated. Gonna try to find something for the Hey Arnold page, and Villainous, but, Crossover-Enthusiast, whats wrong with the felix the cat one? it looks pretty clear to me.
Edit: also swapped in the Pryde of the X-Men VHS cover and played around with the image size display there, and I think it looks OK now but the description kind of ends before the image is done so its not the best but i feel its better than going even smaller.

I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky like a tiger, defying the laws of gravityI swapped in an upgrade to the pic on Royal Brat, but it's kinda dark. If someone can brighten this◊ up by, say, 10% or 15% and resize it as a PNG, that might work better.

Tandem Parasite's image looks like a low-quality scan of the comic cover.
It also isn't potholed anywhere. Not sure if we have a good place to send it or not.

how's this
Took care of Tandem Parasite, and the Hey Arnold! page, as well as the bubble boy page, and now Serrated Blade of Pain

I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky like a tiger, defying the laws of gravityThere's artifacting all over the characters and the words.
Jawbreakers on sale for 99ยขcan you show me a cap of what it is? cause i'm looking at it and unsure where/how bad it is, i can still look for an alternate one but i'm having a harder time seeing this one :C
I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky like a tiger, defying the laws of gravityCamp Cook is very artifacted and poorly edited to fit in night vision. Already found◊ a quality upgrade, it just needs the transparency treatment.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"I'm not really seeing the artifacting on the Felix pic, but the pic◊ on the movie's Wikipedia page gives a lot of larger versions when you do a by-image search in GIS that could be used to make a PNG from.

Leave the Camera Running's image looks blurry to me.
Also, the third panel has some unreadable subtitles, but they don't appear to be important to the image.
Edited by bitemytail on Jun 22nd 2019 at 10:26:08 AM
Yeah, I built that a long time back when we weren't as stringent about pic quality. The subtitle in the last panel is there as the establishing point of the silence between Rei and Asuka being broken, so it needs to be there; the panels just need to be upgraded with the timestamps inserted. I can take care of this later on, can't do it ATM.

I replaced the image on Felix the Cat: The Movie with a PNG and cropped out the white border. I also removed the caption which the caption repair thread agreed was bad.
Keet cleanupAnyone else think this thread should be pinned?
I do, but we had a bit of a row about how many pinned threads there were a year or so back and I don't want that to start up again.
do you think we can have the thread linked somewhere else important?
that or, have it in your signature like Primis does for the transparent one? ...i'm still new to posting so i may be overlooking that maybe that'd take too much character space maybe?
Just an idea since pinning is not an option.
But anyway besides that, I'm trying to figure a pic for Evil Con Carne because I found a scene from the show that i thought would be suitable since it has the 3 main protagonists which i think is important considering how the show is never about a single one, but DRM is so awful my friend wasted $2 not being able to get a screencap
I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky like a tiger, defying the laws of gravityInteresting idea...I swapped out the link to the morgue in my sig for this thread.
I've made a quality upgrade to Leave the Camera Running, but I'm wondering if we need the middle panel...I'd included it originally to make it obvious that they stay where they are for that whole time, but now that pics don't go into examples, it's creating a lot of dead space in the description. Thoughts?
Edited by Willbyr on Jun 21st 2019 at 9:07:17 AM
I suggested it since you're everywhere here and it might be helpful for others to see, so hopefully it works.
Personally, I do think it needs the middle panel, the beat helps hammer the example home in practice without being too long, i don't think it works the same way with the top and bottom with the only obvious thing being the clock change, because thats something you only notice once you get to the bottom and look over again and "oh" getting it, the way i experienced it. Its kinda frustrating though how the formatting does that to it. There any other way to remedy it a little? Since I really think it works best with the middle beat.
Edit: whoops, i checked the link in your sig and the tinyurl isn't working for me

Altar Diplomacy is very blurry.
