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.

The character image for Kou Tokisaka needs to be converted into a PNG image with no white background. This is important because I'm working on a pantheon profile for him, and there are no PNG renders of him available.

took care of casper
how is this
also i'm slowly chipping away at the mega man character pages, i'm debating if i should just update as much as possible for the heroes page from VideoGame.Mega Man 11 or not
also i think we should have a standard for what does NOT need to be transparent cause i think there are things on the list that don't need it because white or a blank color is a part of the composition, but i didn't want to remove the offending examples without bringing it up. its bothering me a lot since i think some don't get that some ones are fine without transparency

And it's on GIF.
Also, I think the current page image looks crude in my opinion. I seem to have addressed that
some time ago. I think a more suitable page image would suffice. The closest I could find is this one
◊, although the shadows looked kinda dull (it's as if they used pure black as a shadow color) if you look closely.

I could take a go at it.
An update on the mega man situation: All thats left for classic is V, 7 and 8's robot masters, then maybe I'll start on the X character pages

Seems like this image from Mortal Kombat – Liu Kang still has the white background (Potential spoilers)

I can't find a good transparent version of the image on Guardian Entity, so can I replace it with this image from Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance]?

Sure, it looks fine.

Could someone please remove the white lines from these two? And maybe split them into separate images while you're at it?
That looks like a deliberate glowing effect, and not the result of poor image editing. Does it really need to be removed?
The rest of the Pokémon character images don't have it, so it'd be weird if they were the only ones that did.

Hey, anyone able to make the image on Scooby-Doo transparent?
Edit: Also, about the Trope-Tan issue, we may need to take it to Image Pickin'.

I can't find a transparent version of the exact image on Dead Horse Trope, but I found this.
Veteran Editor IV
You mean Undead Horse Trope. But yeah, it's so similar it would be fine as a replacement.

The melodrama image got messed up in the process of background removal, can we do something about that?

So far, there hasn't been a good quality PNG file of the same image around the internet (that I know of).

Been trying to find a transparent and higher definition version of this image but it isn't turning up anywhere.

Found this in Crash Bandicoot. I think i can find a few replacements for a couple ones, but this one has been tricky
Anyone know what the source of the negative on Accentuate the Negative is? I'm having a little trouble finding other, free-to-use negatives, and I'd rather not use a vector if I can avoid it.

Can we get some help on Red Is Violent?

The new image on Chinese Vampire has an unnatural white halo around it; here
◊ is the source.
