It is a long time since v1. V1 has one last update, but since I am no longer using it, I won't post it. Tbh I forgot which version is the last and where it is on my action list. I was so busy that I couldn't post it until now. So here is version 2. Download link. Version 2.1. Download link...

https://mangahelpers.com/forum/threads/editing-help-center.3005895/ You can find it here [MTO] How to clean color pages like the MTO In brief, clean color page by using topaz denoise 3 and surface blur slightly at big size if your raw is big. For, small one, let use waifu2x, choose style -...

It looks fine but you should test with some more raws of that manga to see if the way is actually good.

That is the case. I mean mangaka did it on purpose. He didn't add tones to his drawing. http://www.clipstudio.net/en/functions "Directly converts a drawn content into a halftone dot “tone” simply by turning on “Tonization” for a layer "

Yes. You're right. Don't clean it. imo it is like color page but was converted into grayscale mode already.

Update: 6/11/2017 Update: 6/24/2017

I. Very Brief Explanation The concept is: If you only use level to clean, some dots will be damaged too much and will be lost. Dots in dark area will become too dark. So I don't level black and level white. Make a layer that has sufficient pattern (by denoise,...) then darken and merge to that...

So OKAMOTO Lynn has just started manga Parallel Paradise. I am feeling stupid for not noticing it.

You shouldn't level too black. Small dusts in black matter can disappread after resizing to final size. I don't know any ways to do those parts. UPDATE Fix 2 for soften pattern: after step select color range: highlight, use smooth with 1 px 3 times then continue. Also need to use select color...

Just release it at png - 8, 256 color. (png 24 or jpg for color page) For cleans from mag scans, I see 16 color or 32 color is enough. Normally other groups just release it at that color. However my cleans from mag raws have extremely many details so it needs 256 color to look good. I release at...

It is almost the same. You should use the fix. Soften pattern has a critical weakness. It makes cleans blur but it is very hard to notice. In cleaning, it will take long time to realize your own mistake after doing and observing more and more. Compare to other errors, it took me longer to notice...

The example I included along is what i mean that the final size depends on manga, 1400 px looks better for that manga. It is mag raws and actually raws were a bit sharped so it is not too good. It is because it is mag raws (was printed with bolder color) and the dots mangaka used are different...

Yeah, 1800 px high is better for these tones. With this cleaning way to other manga, it can be 1400, 1600, 1800 or none of them. Btw, I tried another way to clean that I've noticed recently in cleaning mag raws. It seems it needs more modifications to use with tank raws. More details in black...

http://bato.to/reader#8d34f3a5bbc0da8b_27 Could i see raws of this page? The light pattern seems to be damaged because of leveling white too much.

In video soften pattern, you will see I played action. I just stop in middle to show what I did and what will better after process.This mean just do what I did in the action. Soften pattern doesn't need any hide or show layer. Even if it needs, it is just action. As I said, it was developed by...
