tips for editing manga? :)

Sure ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ

first i always crop and resize the cap
if you’re cropping specific scene make sure that there are no borders left (even the thinnest ones are visible and it wont look good so color them white if you dont want to crop)
when you’ve resized it, add some brightness, contrast and gradient map
you can add a bit light grey gradient ma[ instead of black and white, if you like (this is the difference)
after you add those adjustment layers you’ll see that cap looks too over sharpened (like this)
so dublicate your mangacap layer and apply topaz clean (those are my settings)
and lower opacity (SEE THE DIFFERENCE???)
then you’ll notice that the text looks ugly so erase it with white brush tool and write it over again
you’ll need one of those fonts
and if you dont have topaz, you can download it here and scroll down to see the installation guide (but you’ll need uTorrent to download that first, it’s free and 100% safe)
hope that helped omg
