Wikipedia: photo upload advice requested

Tonight I was browsing around Wikipedia in a semi-nostalgic manner. While committing said act, I saw a poor photograph of a particular and significant early-'70s motor vehicle that I rather liked when it was new. I downloaded a copy of the hi-res version of that photo, then cleaned it up in Photoshop.

Now I want to upload my enhanced version so as to replace the original, which is obviously heavily overexposed, and with too much red. Now how on earth do I do the uploading?

This is the existing Wiki file:

And this is my intended replacement:

I'm properly logged in, but I can't see how to replace the original file. What am I missing?

I'm not quite done getting rid of all the dust on the original. Plus the original seems to have been scanned off a magazine photo, so I can't get rid of all the screening.

Gee that looks familiar... Probably because I owned about 7 different Vegas. 1 72, 2 73's (one was a panel that I wish I had kept) a 74 that got wiped out by a friend. A 76 Cosworth that is now a show queen out in the midwest. A nice 76 that ended up with a small block conversion. And a 77, that should have stayed on the used car lot...

The 72 and 73 hatchbacks were both GT's . They always reminded me of scaled down Camaros.

you can't "get rid of" the original file. you have to upload your version as a new one with a different name. then edit the page that refers to it accordingly.

Most reasonable people gave up on Wikipedia ages ago.
