Hello everyone.
Nice to meet you. I’m Jipangu97, and I’m a new user here. There’s a very important thing I’m doing with a translation, and I’d like your advice, please.
I’m currently doing my senior project at my college, which is a scnalation of manga that I have translated into English. I was asked by my project adviser to research different programs that people have used to scanlate manga in the past, and I’ve found four that seem like good options. Based on some of your experiences with Edited Manga, which of these programs do you recommend? Or, if there are other recommendations that you have, I would be very grateful to know about them. Here are the ones that I’ve found thus far, along with the links to their websites if you need them (and they’re safe, I promise):
Smith and Tinkers: http://www.smithandtinkers.com/balloonist/index.html
Gnu Image Manipulation Program: https://www.gimp.org/
GMAO (Great Manga Application Onizuka): https://fugutabetai.com/software/GMAO/
Adobe Photoshop (this one came up frequently in my research): https://www.adobe.com/products/phot...=AL!3085!3!301413807968!e!!g!!adobe photoshop
I also have a question about the image file type that I scanned the manga’s pages into. They’re currently in a pdf file format, but is there a different format that I should convert them into to make the Edited Manga process easier for me, such as editing out the original Japanese text in the image? I’m extremely new to the whole Edited Manga process, so I’m not entirely sure.
Thank you very much for your help. I look forward to hearing from you.
