Possible Soup's Guide is gone.

Your first two scanning links are the same link, and the third one doesn't load for myself.

The Illuminati Link is 404'd.

Hello guys I want to know what version of adobe photoshop are the best and easy to edit raw manga.

 

[Gradonil_Ral]

If I'm not mistaken, CS3 introduced sample preview for cloning which is a great help when redrawing. CS5 introduced content-aware fill, which gets rid of smaller redraws in no time (and if you're not quality-oriented, then bigger ones too). Past that, there weren't any groundbreaking changes. At least none that will help with Editing.
Personally, I prefer CS6 because it lets you choose a darker theme, but you you don't really need to go any higher than CS5.

Thanks @Gradonil_Ral, I have installed the CS6 and whenever I looked for tutorial they always put me in older version like the CS4 or 3. Do you know how do I can do the typesetting using the CS6 version.

 

[Gradonil_Ral]

What do you mean, how to? Typesetting hasn't really changed in the last couple of versions...
Though, you can make typesetting a little bit easier using this: http://illuminati-manga.com/illiteracy/typesetterer/?p=Download

And here's my old video tutorial on how to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lCwlNdQHYQ

I'm a novice using the Photoshop and I didn't know very well how to manage. thanks for the video it helps me a lot.

Alright I'm probably late for this, but better late than never. Since most of the stuff here are really old and the links are dead, might as well post some new links. I'm not sure if it'll still be available 5-10 years in the future, but for now, at this moment, here you go.

I have a lot more personal ones such as guides from inside groups. I'm not sure if they're comfortable with sharing it here, so I'll stop here for now. If you want more though, I recommend joining this discord server:
