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

Renaissance Man is in need a clearer image. Any possible upgrades?

The image for Jump Rope Blunders seems a bit blurry. A cursory look seemingly showed me that it might've been the highest possible quality.

Is there a higher quality version available somewhere? If one doesn't exist and the best available quality is what's already on the page, then I'm wondering about opening an IP thread to help with getting a new, higher quality picture to possibly replace the blurry one.

[up] I was able to find a quality upgrade:

Is it good enough?

[up] Seems like it's practically the same. Maybe run it through an AI upscaler and see what happens (assuming you didn't already)?

Hmm. Still looks a bit blurry to me, but I'd let others have their eyes on it as well (I might still open an IP thread just in case, if at least to see whether people think it's good enough and prefer it over any alternative suggestions).

I've come back to Jump Rope Blunders a few times since the 800px increase and a quality upgrade just doesn't seem to be anywhere. It's a really good image though were it not fuzzy so I've been reluctant to pull. I wonder I'd it's a screencap from a short? If we could figure that out we might be able to rescreencap it.

EDIT: Found it, it's about 3:38 into this video

[up] Yeah it's from the Pocoyo cartoon and comes from one of the episodes. At this point it's fairly aged (it's at least 20 years old now iirc) so it's possible a non-fuzzy version might not exist.

Since finding a higher quality might be difficult, I'll go ahead and open a thread when I can to propose higher quality replacements (I have a couple ready). Then if someone happens to produce a higher quality image and people like it better, we could use it.

EDIT: It's been opened.

How's this for Bathtub Bonding (I found another less squashed pic and edited it to make it less washed out)

I've tried applying auto levels to [up] and got:

Here's my attempt at upgrading

Entropy and Chaos Magic

It's a tiny bit blurry but less jpeg "crunchy" now.

Attack of the Killer Whatever: Any available upgrades? It's under the required size and I also wonder about the quality itself.

[up] It's going to take someone finding big enough versions of the individual panels and cropping/assembling them.

The page image for Care Bears is much too small. I suggest the following similar poster:

Okay to change out, or does it need a vote?

[up] if you are suggesting a image that different it needs a thread.
