And what happened to the PNG that was used (instead of this crappy JPEG) early yesterday? Also, Immewnity, is there any point in taking the same image and upscaling it?--8bitPorygon 18:23, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I don't know of a PNG file. This JPEG is not crappy at all though. I uploaded it when I posted the Bulbanews article and as far as I know there were no uploads of the American boxes at that time. Immewnity didn't upload an upscaled version, he uploaded the boxart how it appears at amazon in a slightly larger resolution (indeed pointless, though) which was converted from CMYK to RGB incorrectly, hence the weird colors. The corrected one I uploaded isn't perfect either, but until there is a better source this should be good. I don't know why he likes to upload files with wrong CMYK->RGB conversion (see File:001Bulbasaur.png), seems as if he likes the off colors (too high saturation/hue on some colors) --nYoo 19:30, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, for some reason I thought the quality had changed at some point between when you originally uploaded the image and when Immewnity uploaded the other version. Guess it was a product of my imagination... And for the record there must have been some kind of problem (appears to be fixed now), because when I checked Immewnity's image earlier I was just getting a browser-scaled (pixel dimensions were the same) version of your original image.--8bitPorygon 20:09, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Well, yeah, I guess his upload had more JPEG artifacts, but that's the least issue. The other thing you noticed was just your browser's cache still having the old version of the file. --nYoo 20:35, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Guess so. On a different note I get the message "The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again." when trying to upload a bigger/better version. Neither is the case or I wouldn't be bringing it up. Google the problem; it seems some fixes can be made.--8bitPorygon 21:22, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

That error appears when your file's extension name mismatches the current ext. name of the file you want to be replaced, like .png to .jpg. In that case, you have to upload it as a new file. Also, what make us prefer .png over .jpg is that resizing JPEGs files makes it look grainy. The best quality only shows when the full JPEG image resolution is displayed.
