So anyway, what is it you need help with?

It would make more sense to just upload it to an image host, post it, then explain what it is you need help with…

You make a statement. You start banning and ignoring them. In fact, remove all forms of contact that allows them to harass you.

I have no idea since I don't work with them, but from just looking at their stuff they're probably abusing "Boost" under the "Texture" tab. Not sure why you would want "greys" like theirs, since their stuff looks fairly unnatural, aka stupid.

Topaz Clean.

http://sage.opposed.net/MedakaBox-ch041-04.jpg http://sage.opposed.net/04.png More or less my first real magazine "clean" since I next to never do anything to magazine scans other than adjust the image exposure. Since this is pretty much my first (Actually second.) attempt at something like...

So basically, you abused Topaz Clean and/or Vivacity? Quality? It's bad. Accents, that shouldn't be there, are all over the place; the black and white points are both, too high; the halftones are well, not halftones anymore. And last but not least, the line art is ruined. You need to tone...

Re: what do you call this fonts Dave Gibbons Free? No. Can you get it free? With some looking, probably. And for the record, all the fonts on that page but the handwritten are from Comicraft.

Re: Question: what makes a scan LQ/MQ/HQ? Sigh, image dimension does not denote the quality of a scan. The quality of an magazine/tankobon scan is judged by paper and/or ink itself (Along with image compression, I guess.). Big != HQ.

Re: Question: what makes a scan LQ/MQ/HQ? That's just MH's bias opinion on grade. Everyone has their own view on what quality is. I personally grade quality based off the scan itself. For example, a low quality scan will still be low quality even if you redraw and clear out the noise, and...

There's no point in "making blacks, black" if you're literally destroying the rest of the image to do so. There's also no rule that says you have to use filters to make a speed-scan. You should learn the basics before you try to go into the "advanced" stuff.

You re-size it to whatever you want that you feel is acceptable. Some prefer 1200px by height, I prefer 1600px. As for doubles, you'll just have to learn how to redraw, or simple don't redraw at all, keep them as single pages. There's no rule that you have to redraw doubles, it just gives a...

Your problem is, you denoise. Not sure were speed Edited Manga = denoise, or that you have to denoise to do anything decent came from (Considering 99.6% of the groups that denoise, don't know how to. Their final product is usually worse than the original scan... Decent, riiight). /rant Anyway...

It's all personal preference. Considering you're scanning at a higher DPI than the print itself, it really doesn't matter.

HP? An All-In-One, or? And 200 DPI... that's not enough information on which settings you use, there's a bunch of different ones (Though generally you want all of that turned off.). Anyway, for starters, set your DPI to a minimum of 300 DPI, if not 600 DPI and re-size to 300 DPI through an art...
