hmm [replacer_img] i have dicided to help out with this thread (just a little anyways)
so below is the cleans i did and below them is just the rough commands used for the preclean and also the cleaning part. (note: this is just roughly what you need to. there are also some other things. but if your just started cleaning this should be enough) [on a side Note: ReDrawing is a Pain. but becomes the only thing to challenge you later on.]

Spoiler!

this is the base i used for my cleans "hope it´s helpfull"

Preclean:
size 2000-3000
replace colour 75-80, 100, select back ground
level roughly
duplicate background 50% opp
despeckle
diffuse (aristropic)
maybe level again if needed
flatten image
rotate if needed and crop

Cleaning:
Burn 20% shadows, large brush blacks
Resize to 1100
Burn 40% midtones small brush
Dodge tool, highlights 35%
and need to redraw in there too

[halas]

also i gave you the Rar. containing them all and the seperate guide so no worries

Questions:
1) For leveling a Raw page, is it the same value each time or does it depend on the raw?
2) Any links to legally download photoshop in the long run without paying for it?

[Woofcat]

1) it can change depending on the RAW.
2) no, you can get i think a 30 day trial. If you are a student you can purchase it for $350 CND last i checked.

Question question.
I think blud changed his style of editing. Blud's scan looking so much more nicer now (especially the gray). What did you use?

[blud]

Give me an example of a chapter with nicer grays and I'll be able to tell you what I did, I've been experimenting a lot lately, but mostly using the same techniques. I've also been doing some manual touching up while waiting for translations.

Thanks for the great tutorial
But could you fix the images in tutorial? (I see some bear instead of examples)
