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, as is swapping a pic with a larger identical version to fit the new image size criteria (800px minimum width). If there are more changes in the proposed swap (e.g. less text, slightly different coloring or crop), however, you might want to post here first.
Resources:
- Reverse image search engines like Google Image Search
, Tineye
, Yandex
, and Bing
are useful for finding larger-quality versions.
- SauceNAO
can locate artwork sources.
- GIMP
(download), Photopea
, and Photoroom
are good freeware for simple manipulations like increasing brightness or removing backgrounds.
Please add pages that need work to the following Sandbox page: Artifacts 'R' Us

~MyTimingIsOff, Giant Space Flea from Nowhere had two "full-on threads
" by now (2022
, 2011
), and I believe as good as it can get quality-wise, so it honestly can be removed Sandbox.Artifacts R Us because "not illustrate the trope" is not an Artifacts R Us problem.
Neither of those two threads did anything to solve the problem it has, so it doesn't really matter that they happened. Anyway, I wasn't the one added the trope to the sandbox, so if there's nothing to improve quality-wise, I have no objections to removing it.

The transparent version of the pic on Studio Ponoc doesn't look very good. Should we swap to a non-transparent version?
Much better.

Blargen thread voted to keep their image for In Plain Sight, but the quality is terrible.
Removed Madden NFL from the list, as its image was recently replaced with one of good quality.
2025: the year it all ends?Funny.Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers 2022 could probably use a less blurry photo.

You’re Gonna Carry That Weight.KubrickStare.Anime And Manga needs to be de-watermarked.
Also proposing a cropped version of Rascally Raccoon without the black borders:

Honestly, I don't find that pic on KubrickStare.Anime And Manga to be very illustrative...just looks like an angry face to me.
Well, same goes for KubrickStare.Western Animation. Both were added by the same troper, santirevecolepe.
Agreed. Take away all the 'does this' ZCE's and KubrickStare.Western Animation is too short to be its own subpage anyway
I think this
◊ is the same game? I'm not sure because I can't read Japanese.
Not sure, it has the same characters in a pose but a completely different background. I think quality upgrades are supposed to be identical to the original minus looking better IIRC.
Good enough quality upgrade for Demon: The Descent?
