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

I don't see how it's artefacted, but
because it's in English.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan: crop + it uses the American spelling ("Ninja" instead of "Hero")

Is this a close enough upgrade for Oscar's Orchestra? It has a different background but the character art and logo is otherwise the same:
Current is kinda blurry, the above is from the soundtrack album.
Hmm, it is different enough from the current one that I think a thread might be needed, but I wouldn't know.
While the current on Heartwarming.Hilda isn't bad, I think it can benefit from a closer crop and a quality upgrade, as the current is slightly artifacted.

The current was added from Image Pickin. But I feel like a vertical display would look better. What do you think?

Upgrade:

Just double-checking a change that may get differing views.
This was the previous image on ComicBook.The Amazing Spider Man 2022:

saltin has just swapped it for this one:

Does it look better with the cover details and "Thwip", or with less text and more image?
(No strong preference from me, but I know there's been some debate about whether comic images should be accurate/complete cover art on other threads)
Knights of the Old Republic's page image looks like a scan/photo of a physical copy of the game. I suggest this one as a replacement:

The current on Suzume is a bit artifacted and the Japanese text surrounding it makes it look a tad cluttered. Would this be an improvement?
