There are countless images across the wiki that — while they look fine with the normal display — contrast badly with Night Vision's color scheme. The purpose of this thread is to weed these images out by replacing them with either transparent versions, or sometimes just a higher-quality version.
What causes an image to contrast most often is that it has an unnecessary, blank white background. A good example is the former image for Orbot & Cubot
◊ on the character subpage for Sonic The Hedgehog, which has since been swapped out for a transparent version
◊.
Another cause is when the image in question is already transparent, but it wasn't cut out properly and now has an unsightly artifact of its background around it. For example, the former image
◊ for Studio Ghibli, which has also been replaced with a cleaner version
◊.
These details are basically impossible to notice on the normal display's white background, and since not everyone uses Night Vision regularly, a lot of these images sneak through. Please keep Night Vision in mind when suggesting or uploading any new image for use on a page.
To tell if an image needs replacing, just switch on Night Vision (if you don't already have it enabled) and see if the image has either of the two problems detailed above. If it does, then either add it to this index and report it here so someone can replace it or, if you are able to, go ahead and replace the image yourself. You don't need to ask for permission; image quality upgrades are a free action. You are not obligated to report any upgrades you made here, but that would be appreciated, since that would help this thread get traffic.
Please note that not every image with a white background will need to be replaced. In some cases the white background is as much a part of the image as any other detail. Take for instance, the page image
◊ for The Lost Room. Other examples, like any page that uses a panel from a black-and-white comic or manga, such as the current image
◊ for Heroic Resolve, should also be okay (unless the background takes up a unusual amount of space, then it will probably just need to be cropped). If you are unsure if an image should be replaced, bring it up here.

I'd have no problem with that, it's actually closer to the logo used on the actual cover
◊.

On Characters.Garfield, between Garfield's legs and under Jon's right arm are white when they should be transparent. Padding should also be made transparent. Finally fixed this.

Hi
On Characters.Warhammer 40000 Necrons, the pics in the C'tan section all need to be made transparent.
The image used on Sex Slave also has a white background.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"
The new image for Broken Sword has a white outline around it.

I'd like to apologize for all this.
the Retromancer
Wanted to try this idea for a while. Can these edits get a review?
Big Anime Eyes: (this was rather difficult)
Am I a weirdo?
I'll give an unreserved thumbs up to everything except for Big Anime Eyes. For that one, the numbers are less than visible, and I'd like to see if other people think it should even have its background changed at all.
the Retromancer
I also wonder if background removal for that one is necessary. For numbers I don't know how to make them look good on both white and black backgrounds besides removing/replacing them entirely with an outlined typed text.

Doesn't look very good, IMO.

All in 282 except Big Anime Eyes. If that image is made transparent, the numbers need to be a different color.
the Retromancer
~eroock, do you still have the files for the 3D logo
per chance? Or how was it even made?
No, but we can remove the background like this.

Hi
I don't remember if I've already requested this, but the pic on Navel Window needs to be made transparent.
the Retromancer
~Willbyr not sure about the request, but I've found where the image came from: [1]. Anyway, let me try something...
Trying using contrasting numbers instead for Big Anime Eyes.
Hi
Thanks! That version of Big Anime Eyes is good, too.
Ehh, I dunno... I like the not transparent version more.

Big Anime Eyes may require a thread.
Is this ThreeDimensionalEpisode pic good to go?
An attempt was made for Breakout Mook Character, any changes needed? Also to parrot its old discussion thread, Lunia is not a spin-off, so the slime is more of Non-Human Sidekick, though that can be addressed later.
Hi
Per this Image Pickin' thread, this image needs full transparency...I erased some stuff in the background but I don't have the tools to make it properly transparent.

Hi
I'd prefer the two-character version since their faces are more clear.
the Retromancer
Testing another batch and want a review. The questions about Breakout Mook Character and Three-Dimensional Episode are still pending.
Hi
Those are all good to me.

The edges for Bumbling Henchman Duo and Camera Tricks are jagged, but the rest look good. I swapped them in.
