11y/o necro on a 14y/o thread, nice xD Photoshop has always been the leader in image editing, but I feel like the first step to really help out in Editing was adding the source preview into brushes (which I believe happened in CS3). Before that aligning patterns while closing was quite...

Really? I thought you wanted to put in translated text instead. No problem - I'll leave that in. I mean, last time you looked for help "cleaning" a page, so I removed the text there and I figured you wanted the same thing here... Anyway, if I don't post a new version by Saturday, you can PM me...

Oops, only now that I've uploaded this I noticed ibb loaded resized images without javascript turned on... Sorry about that. If you want me to redo it, you'll have to wait a bit more, unfortunately.

Yeah, I think the dropbox links were meant to be permanent, unfortunately Dropbox changed the way it let us share our files a few years back, making the links invalid. But yeah - it'd be cool if we could upload the files here as well. Cool find. And not a bad idea about reuploading the files...

Good one :D Nobody can fix the links. It's been like 12-13 years since most of these threads were created. The authors have long moved on from Editing, most of them probably hasn't been here in years... Even if you did contact each and every single one of them and they replied, there's...

The same way as in Photoshop? Redraw... Can't really say any specifics without a sample. You can read these as a reference though: https://mangahelpers.com/forum/threads/in-need-of-cleaning-advice.3013698/ https://mangahelpers.com/forum/threads/need-a-little-help-in-cleaning.3013627/

You don't really need to credit me - that took no effort at all. But if you want to credit me, just "Ral" is fine.

Considering that mangakas draw the panels by hand, it's not strange that we get a lot of slanted lines. Only some of them were meant to be aslant in the first place. If you look closely, even some "straight" lines can be bent a little in the middle - even if the artist did* use a ruler and a...

That enough?

TBH, I don't exactly see that happening. There are three types of raws: 1. Magazine. 2. Tankoubon. 3. Webraws. Quality of magazine and tank raws may differ based on the type of paper or ink that's been used for the print. Another factor is the type of scanner that's been used - flatbed photo...

You can either: 1. Select nearby areas, copy them to new layers and basically jigsaw puzzle it out. 2. Use Clone Tool and choose a few different sources: 2.1. Since the pattern darkens diagonally, set first source on the left, slightly below the top of the text, use that source to redraw half...

Looks pretty good :) There's one place on the crutch and one on the skirt that you should slightly thin out - and, yes, I know their widths are basically the same as on the raw, but the difference is that these places weren't filled in the middle - they were actually made of a few thinner lines...

PM me a link to the finished product (I don't think we can link to Edited Mangas here anymore), so I can see how you did ^^ Or you coiuld send me the in-progress files, if you want me to check them out / give you some pointers~

@Kenn0n - Just Ral is fine. First off, am I right in assuming you don't own a drawing tablet? In any case, you should also remove the text from the lineart, just zoom in quite a bit and focus on the text alone - try not brushing over any lines. Then, you make a 2nd empty layer (on top of the...

Aligning patterns is a bit more difficult in GIMP (or I'm just not familiar enough with it), but I've mentioned only basic options that are available in it as well. https://www.dropbox.com/s/s0ep1w22m3qj8n5/gimp-cloning.jpg?dl=0 Actually, a softer brush might look slightly better on this...
