Night Vision Image Quality Cleanup

Go To

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.

[up] agreed.


Could these icons [tup][tdown] be dealt with? The white space feels distracting.

Only the staff can fix the icons. I brought it up months ago and got no response.

I tried taking a stab at Pie Face! and Perman. Did I get them right? The full pictures are here and here respectively.

Hello, i was wondering if this is the thread where pictures that aren't transparent are brought up right?

I have been trying to fix a few images in Gender Anatomy but i have been unable to. Mostly because i don't know how to make transparent images without them looking ugly

[up][up] It's got a gray background right now, so I can take it or leave it.

EDIT: I swapped it, but I immediately realized that it doesn't look good in Normal View. So no, keep the gray background.


[up] Fixed.

Would Act Break and No Title be worth transparenting?

The two pics here need to be made transparent, and the text in the top of the second one needs to be removed. Thanks in advance. [tup]

The black text on Porting Disaster's image is hard to see in Night Vision.

emperormasakado changed the image on Samurai Champloo from the following. While I like the new image, shouldn't this have gone through Image Pickin'?

[up] Image Pickin' isn't actually mandatory, just recommended. If someone wants to start a thread, they can, but I think the replacement is leagues better than the former.

~fasoman1996 — The images on Pantheon.Gender Anatomy have been made transparent. Sorry it took so long.
