Pages needing quality upgrades: Sandbox.Artifacts R Us

Go To

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:

Please add pages that need work to the following Sandbox page: Artifacts 'R' Us

I was initially aiming for the same mouth expression before I decided it doesn't matter that much grin prefer the second.

They Cage the Animals at Night is blurry and squished. This is the best match I could find, but it has a "Copyrighted Material" watermark.

I considered giving the image I had suggested for Last-Second Photo Failure a quality upgrade (the pic below) because I had to convert the original from PNG to JPG when it couldn't be uploaded under that format, giving it a rather grainy quality in the process. This one was only made as JPG, so it should look better.

Sure, though on-page it will still be downscaled

[up] Done. Just to note I had previewed it before for reference, and it still looks better than the original image (the top one).

By the way, suggesting this image as a quality upgrade for The Downward Spiral:

EDIT: Since no one has commented on it for a while, I thought I'd go ahead and swap the The Downward Spiral pic. Original image:

Cursed with Awesome currently has this Savage She-Hulk comic cover, a cropped scan or photo of the paper comic (w 330):

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shehulk9.jpg


We could swap it out for a higher quality screenshot from the digital comic, without the crop at the bottom:

Or we could use the full, uncropped cover - which probably looks better as an image, losing the tight crop above the title - but brings in the advert at the top:

Preferences?

[up] I'll go with the first suggestion. The close crop to the title doesn't really bother me, and I think leaving the ad is unnecessary.

I don't mind the cropped version...and I can't help thinking that Jennifer's face on the left looks like she's doing something other than despairing.

Feels like that's a consensus on the improved cropped version.

And, er, no comment on the expression. grin

[up] Yeah, you can go ahead and swap it.

HoYay.Digimon Adventure's image has the Toon Disney logo in the corner. Is that a quality issue?

[up] It's preferred for that not to be there, but it's not a deal breaker.

Our Showers Are Different was brought up before due to it being squished, but it still hasn't been fixed.

Mid-Battle Tea Break looks small and kinda awful.

The page image for WETA is a bit small and the bug is hard to make out.

[up] I think we need to go with an entirely new image; GIS didn't turn up anything bigger, and that's going to be very hard to fix to make everything clear with the transparency.
