Hey everyone!

I'm sick of seeing the ugly non-transparent backgrounds on parts. It makes
it hard to see the part outline. I wish to help with this, and I know PS will
allow me to remove the background. The only issue is, when I upload the replacement
image, will it become the main image? Who can make it the primary image?

[P=3069bpb0231,3]

Thanks for your help!

if a better quality image that you took and edited is approved it will usually
become the main image

Am I able to simply alter the other person's image and reupload it? I don't
want credit I just wish to have a better image

No. We have some basic onsite image tools that we can use to crop or brighten
new images a bit (if necessary) before we approve them, but mayor alterations
to images that were originally submitted by another user are not allowed. So
if you want to improve the image quality, you would have to submit your own images
I'm afraid.

Okay thanks! So if I upload an image that is a bit higher quality, what will
happen to the old ones?
