Scanlation Thread

Maybe it's time to make a tool for the desktop viewer. How much stuff on ebj is browser-only anyway?

>>158956642
Lol never used the desktop viewer I should try it. Which are the pluses?

>>158956775
Maybe the quality is better but it uses some custom format anyway.

Thank you to the anon providing us with Yakumo-san raws
I'm guessing you're from around here atleast, don't see people capable of ripping from ebj that often. You don't read your batoto messages, but I still want to thank you

I scanned the first volume of Sumire 16 since it was cheap. I'd like to replace the current 1000px mag scanlations with some proper tank scans, so if you're interested in editing, let me know. I'll dump Sumire later this week as well and try to find someone.

Does anyone have recommendations on sites for finding magazine and volume raws for Natsume Yuujinchou? I grabbed some of the volumes off of Nyaa because they had seeds, but the others are dead and there aren't that many of them. And I'd like to see how many chapters have come out since October and what's been happening in the magazine.

>>158967872
You are overleveling. Go lighter on the blacks.

>>158967872
Yes, if you look at the original scan the black hair is most definitely supposed to be black, and the gradient is supposed to be gray. However, due to the shitty printing, this black and gray are the same color. Therefore, you should level so that the gray remains gray, and then burn the black (I don't know what other techniques cleaners use) to a proper black. Unfortunately there's no way to run this scan through a filter and have it come out perfect. This is why magazine scans suck.

Just downloaded all 21 volumes from Nyaa easily right now, they all have seeds. Unfortunately I can't find the magazine anywhere. Also I checked the chinese scans a while ago and it seems Natsume is at chapter 99, so we're 15 chapters behind.

Here's the last EBJ script I posted a while ago, it still works. Link is valid for 24 hours. Use Firefox with GM, narrow up your browser window to force it in single page mode and use a Photoshop action to crop semi-transparent pixels and it'll give you what you want.

I'm the guy who translated the first couple of chapters. I stopped because cleaning the raws became a nightmare at one point.

>>158977003
Literally where I stopped. Volume 3, chapter 20. Also, a guy said he wanted to typeset for me, but ran away after seeing the amount of cleaning required. That also pretty much killed my motivation to continue.

>>158977080
Ha, I can relate. They never ever give you a notice or anything.

>>158977003
Are you talking about the walls of text? Can't you just put the translation under the panels in that white space? I mean it wont look good but still.
>>158976875
sorry

>>158977465
Having the word "raped" written in small-print in the white space wouldn't have as much impact compared to when it's splashed across a whole panel.

>>158959207
Ewww. Just use janitor.

I just found out there's an easy way to clean bubbles by using the magic wand, but I still prefer clone stamp. Am I autistic?

>>158979557
>clone stamp for cleaning bubbles
What? Just use a pencil and the white color.

>>158980098
What in the fuck?

>>158980098
This

>>158971076
How I use that? I never ripped with this before, I wanted to try.

>>158980934
Bubbles are mostly plain white. If you don't want to use the magic wand, then use a white pencil.

That's literally as easy as it gets, anon.
I just did it in about 30 seconds but 4chan is saying the image is corrupt so I can't upload it for some reason. Just try and match up the pattern as best as you can, it really shouldn't take more than a minute.

>>158983143
Zoom in really close, then match up the pattern.
You can zoom out after you click once.

I'd say apply yourself, but you're already doing too much of that.

Work smart, not hard.

>>158983763
[ and ] keys.
Or if you're using a mouse, hold alt and the right click button and drag left-right for brush size and up-down for hardness.

Is this the one about the cute little sisters teaching his brother how to dress?
I actually read them.

>>158985736
I read them. There's sometimes something interesting in them.

>>158985736

If you don't do them, then no one will do them. Just get it over with. I hate when people skip author comments. Hox skipped like three pages on Nishioka's Journey to the End of the World with the half-assed reason of "it might influence readers' opinions of the work."

>>158985736
You bothered to translate the entire manga / doujin / whatever yet you don't care about what the person who created it has to say about it?

>>158986764
I do care, that's why I translated 11 of them. But so many times I've seen people in the comment section discuss things that are already mentioned in these notes, which is why I don't think anyone even read these

>>158986915
In my experience, it's debatable whether most of the people who post in comment sections even read the chapter itself let alone any extras after it.

>>158977003

If the raws are shitty just ask someone like elemhunter to scan it.

>>158987015
He means they're a pain to redraw.

Hey, maybe this is the wrong place to ask but I was wondering if anyone here had read or knew of anyone who would pick up Battle Studies?

It's already got about ten volumes and is still ongoing and to be honest, I don't really know much about it (or anything really) but I fucking love the art on the covers and it makes me think of Masanori Morita's covers so I thought maybe it's a really awesome series that nobody notices.

>>158988646
Damnit can even write a post correctly. Anyways just tested it. Works fine, i guess it's like using snagit but less buggy and with all the compatibility issues.

>>158989017

>>158959761
yeah i figured but I asked anyways one never knows who might be interested in the same things

>>158982416
he wrote in the same post, use GM on FF, I tried tamper on chrome it works too.

>>158970642
apta is working this right? 15 chapters huh it should be a 22 volume soon or what, why they're not bundling when there's so much already released...

>>158989423
What is FF? Sorry for being this noob.

>>158989802
FireFox

>>158986236
It wasn't the author's comments. It was a completely unrelated French literature professor commenting on Nishioka's Journey to the End of the World, hence why I didn't bother. Still a lazy move on my part, but I would've translated it if were the author's comments.

Check the web console in the dev menu, see if it throws any errors in there. Otherwise, are you trying to rip a LN or some other shit that isn't mango, because that's not gonna work at all.

Because it's a shitty series.

>>158995372
It's not, that's just my poor handwriting.
Unless you're using a drawing tablet, then yeah I can see why it would be hard. Try out a pen enabled display sometime.

>>158998613
Wrong

>>158997431
Nichijou has too many weird puns. I tried translating once and it felt like shit having half of the jokes lost in translation. I wonder if this is how subbing SYD feels like.
