how is it possible? do you use rubber into gray parts?

**blud** · 07-18-2007, 04:11 PM

Nay, it's done very easily using the leveling tool and some other things. But more on that later

Kylara is great, and that one piece chapter was the best raw I've ever seen, which is why I chose it for that example, I could whip it up in like 30 seconds.

urm, how many hours/days does it usually take for a single person to fully scanlate a single chapter anyway?

**Umbra037** · 07-18-2007, 11:39 PM

A typical chapter of Bleach took me about 2-3 hours once...

Lucky you, Umbra037. Double makes Furi remove the SFX from all our releases, so it takes him forever, that and he's a lazy bum.

I'm waiting for this blud, so I could help out my team.

sfx are easy to do...(they're the only thing i can confidently translate)

Ah, I can't wait for the tutorial. I've just begun scanlating and I seriously don't like blurry lines. [It's a long line scretching (sometimes) from the top of the page until to the bottom] I just don't know how to deal with it [efficiently]. The only way I found to deal with it is to recolor everything... T0T
