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

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.

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:

Waiting to have my head disfigured and mounted on a wall.Cursed with Awesome currently has this Savage She-Hulk comic cover, a cropped scan or photo of the paper comic (w 330):

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:

So has anyone been using the Night Vision cleanup thread besides me?
You’re Gonna Carry That Weight.HoYay.Digimon Adventure's image has the Toon Disney logo in the corner. Is that a quality issue?

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

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