It's going well... for 2 months now.

ahi ripper user please respond to my email

started recently but i'm too much of a moralfag so i end up doing nothing while i try to understand whether i should keep going or just give up. I mean, I like the manga i'm working on but i feel like if i met the author and told him what i'm doing he wouldn't be happy about it

getting myself ready for the flood of porn from comiket next month

fine

looking for a translator for a oneshot

But no one in the west would know about the manga if you don't translate it.

retard

Can we use the Gimp icon for the next thread?

Literally who use that?

Poorfags who can't pirate

>release new chapter
>comments filled with faggots who won't shut the fuck up about relationships between adult and "child" characters

>reading comments

Isn't that on you? literally you should have seen this coming from a mile away. also what's your mangas name

>relationships between adult and "child" characters
Are you the guy who complains about FBI jokes?

I vote for the Affinity Photo logo.

>How's that chapter going?

Stalled, I'm feeling to lazy to finish my translation.

I'm curious, how long does it take to translate a 19-20 pages chapter on average?

Feels good catching up to the raws. Feels bad needing to wait for new chapters.

You could learn English and become a mediocre one.

doing now

I just noticed the Spanish translation has better punctuation between lines, so just copy them!

user, I translated both versions.;_;

Thank you for always listening to our requests ripper user.

Thanks. Please check your email again in... 40 hours or so.

Anons, I just subtitled the new Polkadot Stingray song, but I need like 5 people to approve it.
Do me a solid and check it out. If you think that I did a good job, approve it so the EOPs can understand, too.

If that doesn't work, go to youtube.com/watch?v=YNBezN_dTQ4 click the dots and "Add Translation"

I'm doing a ~30 or so chapter series that already finished by myself and it's taking me a million years to finish these redraws

Makes you question if it's all worth it

>Makes you question if it's all worth it

Well, that depends if you care about the gratitude of your readers.

redraws are never worth it, only worth if you know someone who enjoys it
just fade and overlay like every sensible person

>One of the few who can actually redraw
>Meet editor
>Dude I can draw I can totally redraw lmoa
>Ok
>Test him without screentones
>can do it
>test with screentones
>choke hard
If I had a dollar for every time this happened, I could afford enough tablet pen tips for a year.

if you have trouble with screentones it's more likely that your scans are shit.

Just released a new chapter. mangadex.org/chapter/665187
I hate pages with lots of sfx

Just clone stamp lmao

Don't forget to thank your scanlator Yea Forums!

How fucking good at redrawing do you have to be to be considered acceptable?

>not reading comments
Then what the fuck is the point of scanlating at all? There's no self satisfaction if no one is reading what you scanlated.

Good enough that it's not blatantly obvious the raw has 4pt stroke and you're using 8-10 to cover everything up. Even a master bullshitter (aka faithfully redraw the visible parts only) is good enough.
Of course, the main difference if whether you do this for free or not.

Post an example of the hardest thing that a redrawer must redraw well in order to be considered decent enough to join the group.

I can't even imagine paying someone to redraw unless more than half the text is outside the bubbles and it's HxH levels of word walls

hentai is like that, sometimes even balloons are floating text, and the art is extremely more complex, plus all the moans bursting through the art
Juggling from one to the other is like going back to a lv 5 dungeon as a lv 99.

Believable, but I hope you aren't redoing sfx cause that shit's gay as fuck

why do you greentext on d*scord, user?

I don't, I barely use it anyway.

I've been a cleaner/redrawer for 12 years. My honest opinion is that the number of readers that care or even notice is extremely low. It's more about the ego of the scanlation group.

>for 12 years.

Why?

I wish I knew.

Maybe he hates himself

Witnessed.

Defintely keep doing it though, that totally means it's working how you intended.

What actions do you have saved in Photoshop, TSbros? I have one for outer stroke, one for duplicating layer and three more for different fonts.

>dude I can draw, let me redraw
>ok
>test him
>erases a quarter of the panel and draws it from scratch
>tell him not to erase the mangaka's art because that's what people are here to see
>stops responding to messages

If someone who hasn't seen the raws can't confidently point out what has been redrawn, it's acceptable. This isn't as hard as you might think, provided you're not a complete fucking retard.

I'd tell you if I know what an action is lol

Does anyone have the raws for Kaze no Ou by Kitoh Mohiro?

Any chink tool or the like able to rip from comic hero's reader, such as: viewer.heros-web.com/episode/10834108156668026036

Pretty sure the originals are only 1200px, so can just screenshot and crop I guess but want to be sure I'm getting the genuine™ shit.

Isn't the man of rape doing this series?

I try not to tripfag unnecessarily

This is the "genuine shit", judge yourself.

Clean bubble, save to psd, and export to png-8.

Yeah literally the same as viewing in fullscreen mode on a 1440p monitor, oh well.

Is there a ripper then though so I can save the hassle of auto-screenshotting, cropping with PS in a batch, and renaming though?

Probably, it’s the gigaview reader which is one of the easiest to rip. Seen a js based one at least, probably just a canvas ripper but does the job.
I’m auto ripping a bunch of stuff for the /u/ TL thread, can just add it to the upload list

Neat, did 21 manually already but will compare the quality in more detail and just get them from there till you stop doing it I guess.

good, westeners are retards,

Batch export, center, level, weird double stroke I had to do a lot in one chapter.

A few weeks ago I tried applying to a publisher as typesetter and I was met with an automatic mail that sent me a bunch of exercises. All very difficult as expected, but this page might take the cake.
You had to redraw all the SFX and you can't cheat by placing the new SFX and redraw around it. The screentone makes it impossible to use the clone tool and healing brush + dodge/burn only gets you so far.
How would you solve this?

>typesetter
>redraw all the SFX
But why.

Because the job is actually called "letterer" and they do the typesetting, redrawing and cleaning.

I'd fucking gas myself. Gave it a quick try and I'm not getting any results I'd be happy with publishing.

This isn't that difficult. Use the pen tool

>You had to redraw all the SFX
>you can't cheat by ... redraw around it
Explain further.

I'm not sure of what you mean but the problem isn't redrawing, it's erasing the SFX when it's over a screentone.

You normally would make the new SFX first, then clean any parts of the original SFX that aren't covered to save time.

what ebj yahoo ripper?
i was using ebjhooker before the change. does that still work?
