I got a couple of them, but, yeah, this is very hard to read due to the amount of edits they made...

I actually prefer the new images for being higher quality. Fred's new image was essentially the same, just with a different background and bigger/not artifacted.

^ Sorry, they had to be reverted per policy. If you like, you can start an Image Pickin' thread for them.

Image Pickin' isn't technically mandatory, just highly recommended, and policy doesn't require us to change them back to crappy images just because they're not exactly the same as the originals.

Policy does require that all changes be discussed on IP though.

Policy says changes to images picked on IP must be discussed on IP. I don't see the usual commented out image pickin' note on the linked page.

If an image was chosen by Image Pickin' and you think it should be changed, don't just unilaterally replace it; start a new thread.

Quality upgrades don't require Image Pickin', and the old images were so JPEG'd that changing them back just because they weren't exactly the same sounds like nitpicking to me.

^^ That's weird; in practice, it seems to apply to any image, not just IP-ones.

WarJay and rjd are both correct. If there is a pic, especially if it was selected by an IP thread, IP is required to make a change unless you're doing a quality upgrade with no or minimal changes to the content of the old pic. In that case, you just need to note that that's what you're doing in the edit reason. There's a bit of a gap in language between that Administrivia page and the guidelines in the IP discussion thread.

I guess the question is, in this case, how close to the old pics in terms of what's actually in them are the new pics? I'm just now seeing this and likely won't have time to do comparisons until the evening.

Old and new Larry the Lobster image, old and new Bubble Bass image. I already reverted Fred's image back to the higher-quality new one since it's the same pose, just a different background.

The new Larry image has part of a Kisscartoon watermark in the background.

The picture with Fred in it is a new one, because it has a different background.
