Seriously doubt anyone can help with this, but here goes nothing.

Scanning my manga/comic collection I spent two decades getting. Decided to go digital since I'm moving soon and don't have the storage room. Just want to make the highest quality scans I can make to preserve this for my family/friends that might be interested.

Using Mac's Image Capture (El Capitan) and luckily it comes with a ton of settings. Bad news is the only thing I can find on the web lists older versions which had very little to choose from.

If anyone is a pro at scanning using Image Capture, just need the settings for both color (regular comics) and black and white (manga).

Here's what I can choose from the drop down menu.

Scanning at 300 or 600dpi (have tons of HD space so thinking 600)
TIFF or PNG (don't think it matters)
Image Correction> None or Manual (all this does is let me move the brightness/contrast...kinda sucks)
Image Adjustment>None, Auto, Magazine, Photo, Document (Magazine seems to look better for color comics)
Reduce Dust>None, Low, Medium, High
Fading Correction> same as ^
Grain Correction> same
Gutter Correction> same

and I have the option to switch on: Unsharp Mask, Descreen, Reduce Show-through, and Calibrate before each scan.

Yes, I know I can simply download most manga especially pic-related (I'm only scanning it to compare with the excellent torrent download to check my scan settings). I want to scan the stuff that isn't online (or the quality is shit).

If anyone just happens to know the correct settings, you'll be saving me a TON of time and will have my eternal thanks. If you know any Photoshop tips, I'd appreciate also. I already know about adjusting levels for manga. Hell I have a PC, too; so if you know the settings for a scanning app on Windows, I can do that instead. I'm just using my Mac because I only have Photoshop on it.
