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.

Can this
◊ approved suggestion for Parent-Child Team be made transparent to look better in night vision?

I think 6 days is enough for a bump i hope? I still haven't added the fett's image because i'm not sure what everyone thinks and i don't wanna mess it up but i've also been trying to be as helpful on the transparent image pages as possible
I saw the page for studio trigger's logo needing one to be added, it only exists in black so i made a slight white outline, is this ok?
I'll resize it of course but, just to ask, i could do this for the ubisoft one i saw earlier too but i want feedback before i just replace outta nowhere

There's still some white around both of their hair and a few small dots scattered on the image, but otherwise, the Star Wars one looks good.

thanks for telling me, i didn't notice it til you pointed it out, it took a good long while to get it to where it was and i kept checking but by the end i missed it, I'll go take out the few stray white pixels and replace the image on the page then

I might try the Mr.Burns one but its iffy, I usually stop if i'm not making something look decent within the first 15 minutes of editing.
For the record, my process is usually to find a huge high quality version of an image and edit it down from there since scaling down makes it a lot easier. Esp on the SU one, working from a 3000x3000 version makes it work great once its resized

I swapped in the Left-Handed Mirror transparent version, and changed April O'Neil's civilian outfit on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012): Hamato Clan from this (at 200px)
to this (156px)
Hope nobody minds.

Could you possibly take care of this photo of Blitzwing please?
Time to explore the world!
Supersonic Woman
I'll try to take care of him in a bit assuming i can find a high quality photo of him to start from like I did TFA Soundwave, I'll edit it here in this post once I'm done like before.
Besides that, I just replaced the pictures for every Mega Man 9 Robot Master since it was on the list, and its my favorite (and first) group of robot masters, also because I was able to find huge high quality versions of their art to make transparent ones from
Edit: Here you go
Took care of a few more pages too since then

Thank you so much!

No problem
I've been doing the megaman series character pages in chunks, last night I did Megaman 9's robot masters and the Mega Man X protagonist pages, today I've done the Mega Man 10 robot masters and I'll probably cover some other pages tonight.

Hello, I don't post/edit a lot but i thought I could be of some use here. I added a transparent image for Emmy on the Layton character page since i saw a list of stuff needed there and it was easiest, as well as stuff here, like improving the civvie spandex page's main image. I only do minor edits because I'm not confident in writing/not doing things wrong.
I also made these for the above poster![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]")
, hope this helps. I'd do the rest eventually but i'm getting tired tonight
