>H-manga
>not caring about SFX

Twin Star

Did they just not bother to translate dead guy's line?

For hentai SFX, this is the best pdf

I mean you all probably use it already but whatever, just found out about it recently.

>"let's release chapter 1 and promise more then never look at the project again" Habanero
>god-tier

Quit scanlating

>The One Above All
-Hox

This is one of the most awkward things I've ever seen.

>tfw don't know what torrent to use for photoshop

Will someone pick up Nami yo Kiite Kure if Kodansha becomes really slow or drops it? Do they still drop series? The first two volumes of it are ripped and it's pretty good.
Also in light of Jiro Taniguchi's passing will we see more of his work scanlated?

?
The only thing that I can see wrong with it is that it doesn't always have the kana.

That doesn't matter as long as it's helpful though.

Just get the one at tpb

The most seeded one or the newer cc 2017 one though, and I'm not sure if they allow updating since tpb comments are always just retards calling keygens and cracks viruses because mcafee told them to

Is there a way to get rid of noise without doing it manually?

I have a script but not sharing

Still waiting on chapter 7 of Outlaw Star...

>hurr durr i can't explain things

Just how retarded are you?

What's the longest time you've spent on cleaning, editing and typesetting a single page?

Redrawing counts too? Then, around 3.5-4 hours, if not 20-25 minutes at maximum.

Just how retarded are you?

don't worry - about a year after they lose their cleaner, they'll tell you that they've lost their cleaner
they won't look for one, mind you - it's just for closure

>Hinamatsuri
Is someone actually doing typesetting? At this point I've given up hope

I'm using this one. It just werks for me.

Topaz denoise

Any noticable difference between CC and CS6?

No idea. Some anons still use CS3 for scanlating. I think the most noticeable difference is the content aware fill, but I think that was introduced in CS5.

10 hours
there was some bug with the scanning or uploading of a certain spread, and every like 1/20 black pixel was white
because there was no automatic way to do it, I just penciled in black pixels for 10 hours

>because there was no automatic way to do it
blur + level/burn on a new layer, max in black parts, done in like 5 minutes.

no way to do it without compromising the image in any way*

>Apply to be their cleaner.
>Ask for help, say that you're not well experienced but are willing to learn.
>They never get back to you.

Fuck me, guys.

Meant mask instead of max, but it'll be the same end result as penciling it in so there's no compromising the image unless you have absolutely no idea what the fuck you're doing.

I'm using CS6 right now, It's more buggy than CC and CS3, it always crashed when loading new fonts

2 hours, had to redraw a whole loads of sfxes

>but not sharing
Literally why?

If you only need a typesetter I might do it tomorrow. Can't help about cleaning and redrawing though.

>hachimitsu
>not godtier
>not even in the list
shit taste user

>unless you have absolutely no idea what the fuck you're doing
I don't

I don't think I'll bother with the sfx. The redrawing shouldn't be too hard since you can see through the letters, but fuck that.

Context? Maybe post the page where that is in.

Anyone have the Astronauts in Trouble font?

When resizing images I use bicubic, which seemed to give the best results with screen tones, but it almost always generates a line of pixels right around the edge of the pages with half opacity.

When you see the resulting page against a white background, it will always have a gray line which is very noticeable. Is there any way to get around this other than manually going through the edges after resizing?

Topaz Denoise, but don't overdo it. You can also use surface blur.

If it's a colored page with lots of plain colors, Topaz Clean on flat style at lightest settings sometimes works, but you have to be careful about it creating a shadow when different colors meet.

Lost count of how many hours this page took. I redrew everything because I didn't have the script.

Up to you. I'm okay with anything at this point. I mean, nice ones would be better but nothing's happened for a while

Used it but it looks like shit. I guess i will have to do it manually..

Post an example.

Remember when Nichijou got licensed 2 years ago and you were still at volume 10? They are releasing volume 10 this year. You guys are fucking useless

That's what happens when the TL bails and no one else responds to "please help" posts.

counterargument: Habanero is fucking useless

Have you posted e-mail address on the previous thread? Or do you want me to start a thread when I finish it?

Everything has been cleaned for almost a year now, nothing I can do without a translator.

Go ahead and buy the Vertical release, though. Doesn't look like CITY's getting translated, either, so if you're lucky they'll license that too.

Whichever's better for you

Almost forgot about CITY.

Why did that guy not do anymore chapters? The raws are online.

>Go ahead and buy the Vertical release, though.
That's what everyone will do. God bless their souls

Second chapter was translated but never edited as far as I know.

Apparently the first tank is coming out soon.

Tried the font request thread in /gd/?

It's probably shit so shove it, faggot.

...

Probably best to just do it manually, there's not too much of it.

By the way, your blacks and whites are 1 off.

stay jelly faggot

>your blacks and whites are 1 off.
?

Pure white is 255/255/255 and pure black is 0/0/0.

Probably not noticeable if the difference's only 1, but it might be if you put it against a pure white or pure black background, or if you're using pure white to remove the text.

Wouldn't it take too much time manually? Or am I just doing the autistic way?

ok

for 30 pages it's pretty fast, i won't bother if it's within the art because i can't bring myself to do redraw on redraw on each page.

Maybe I'm just tired, but I don't think it's noticeable enough to spend more than 1 minute per page on it. White brush and a quick small Content-aware fill on the ones against screen tones, shouldn't take too long.

Why are you resizing images?

So that all the images have the same height, and because nobody reads manga at 2200x4000px.

>because nobody reads manga at 2200x4000px
Because you rescale them.

>white brush
Why not just use dodge tool? Less room for mistake.

In 10 years

Let's assume you either enjoy having half a panel on screen at any time or that you have a monitor with enough resolution to read it comfortably. You'd still need a slight resize the keep the one of the dimensions constant.

just put it near it

"Fit to window". And when I want to see the details I simply zoom in. I'm not the user you were talking to.

How do I clean this mess?

hsn't this manga ended?

It's not that bad, surface blur, level, dodge tool, Topaz Denoise on shadows and burn tool.
Or you could just use tanks.

nope

As promised, here you have it I also have the raws for chapters 5.3, 6.1, 6.2 and 7. That's the entirety of volume 1. If somebody translates them, I'll do the rest. Here are the raws:
