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

How's this for Blue Gender? It's losing some detail at the bottom but I haven't been able to find a version with the same dimensions that meets the size criteria.

First-Person Dying Perspective is a little blury, and has a watermark on top right. Can I change with this one ?

I found this size appropriate replacement for Elevator Action Sequence.

It's not 100% the same snapshot but I feel like it is close enough. Thoughts?

Can't find the exact same pic for Apocalypse Zero at proper size; how's this take?

I'm having trouble getting good images for the new 800px+ rule. I'm trying to use AI scaling and the like but I can't get any good images unless they already are over 1000px.

Sample old 350px

new 1000px
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/avengers_academy_2010_141.jpg

I feel it looks bad but the largest I could find online was 750px. Can I please get some help with scaling smaller pictures?

It's gonna be fun on the bun!

Here's a couple of alternate takes on the pic on Detonator Orgun.

Does the grain in the actual pic hurt this too much to use? Haven't turned up any of the actual pic that are the right size.

Question: Is it wrong to use A.I. to upscale the images ?

[up] I'd still personally use it only as a last resort but I think for some things we're just going to have to use it. It's not generative A.I. so it's less ethically an potential issue (I know A.I. images are now allowed but I still don't personally like them).

So current on WesternAnimation.The Brave Little Toaster is:

"Time flies by in the City of Light,

I found this from a special edition re-release, has extra marketing text but is otherwise the same & big enough. Thoughts?

[up][up]I will not abuse the A.I. upscaling tool, I only used it two or three times when I had no other choice, like ChickMagnet.Anime And Manga and InelegantBlubbering.Anime And Manga
