Some redrawing features, as much as is identifiable programmatically. The general problem with that is a lot of it is subjective. If someone who has a graphics background but has ideas on redrawing algorithms, I would be more than willing to try out different ideas. For what is not possible programmatically, I plan on trying to give user interface tools to try and speed it up. The idea behind this program is to provide a graphic tool for manga Manga Editors to speed up the process. If there is some tool that would be useful, let me know.Devin Lane said:Interesting, do you intend to implement redrawing features, or will this just handle the automatic parts, like leveling and curves?
If you want the source code, I was going to share it out, but as of right now, I haven't sufficiently commented it. I want to get through the batch processing before I really go through and update it, but after that I will share out the code to whomever is interested.infyquest said:where can we get the source code?
Well, when I do editing, I use the clone, brush, and primitive drawing tools in Photoshop. These seem pretty hard to implement in the same level of usability that the ones in Photoshop have.stringman520 said:Some redrawing features, as much as is identifiable programmatically.

Okay, I'll work on getting it out possibly tonight.infyquest said:I will help with commenting out as i am an expert in voodoo programming and debugging.
1 is already implemented. The program tries to figure out where the frame is based upon where the first non white pixel is from the borders, but then you can modify it. The one change I think I'll need to make to this is in the case of a RAW with complete black edges, it will need to clear out that area and then reevaluate. I've found in the case of really crappy raws, the user will pretty much have to select the frame, as the program never gets it right.zindryr said:Here are some suggestions.
1) Ability to select where the Frame is if the Autoclear doesn't get the right things.
2) Redrawing the frame lines so they're straight lines, (possibly a curve at the corners for smoothness sake)
3) Auto clear text in bubbles, the easiest way would be to let the user select a bubble, and have the computer find all the edges and white out the inside, I believe.
I think those three might be pretty useful. Other things to consider whenever you get there are allowing users to import grey palettes (like the ones they use in photoshop), the basic tools, (brush, pencil, clone stamp tool (you select a x pixel wide circle, and then when you brush another area it brushes with whatever's in the x pixel wide circle), fill, various selection tools, layers).
Among all those, I think the basic tools and layers are the most important.
Excellent! Good luck with the project! Now that I think about it, I should probably start playing my FFXII again...stringman520 said:About the leveling, thanks a lot. I just wanted to let everyone know that this project isn't dead, I've just been quite busy lately with work/holidays/Final Fantasy XII, so I really haven't had time to put any significant amount of time into it. Now that holidays are over, and I'm very close to finishing FFXII, I will be devoting myself to this project again.
Yeah, its quite a bitch, especially being a perfectionist, needing to get everything.[br]Posted on: January 03, 2007, 11:34:55 AM_________________________________________________Okay, after a long hiatus, I'm back on this project. You should be expecting an update in the next few days with full batch support of current applications, which should really help with auto leveling and other things. I was considering for a while dropping the project and redesigning it as more of a Photoshop plugin, but I don't know the beginnings of any of that, and being a realist, I wouldn't want to devote the time to figure it out and create everything. This should be used in addition to Photoshop, to help with the more repetitive, menial tasks associated with cleaning and Editing a manga.rankgain said:Excellent! Good luck with the project!
