You should be able to convert a greyscale image to RGB, use denoise, then convert back to greyscale.

I'll try again. I must be doing something wrong.

What about Neat Image? I use it all the time to denoise stuff.

I tried it and Topaz Denoise seems to be more simpler and have a better looking interface.

I haven't tried it myself since I'm useless with image editors, but the technique described to me was basically:

Take a greyscale image

Convert it to RGB color, with each of the 3 channels having the same value as the original Grey.

Run the filter.

All three channels should still be the same.

Convert the image back to greyscale by deleting two of the channels.

This is a periodic announcement that EHCOVe is looking for editors, both for one time projects and more permanent membership. We offer decent bounties (negotiable for editors with more experience), training for first timers, occasional TL-for-edit deals (subject to individual translator members perview), discord channel for chatting, your nick will be credited in the release, and as of this moment, we have 16 open editing bounties for you to chose from (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here are my thoughts:
- If you have enough space and it doesn't look bad or interfere much with the image then typeset sfx horizontally.
- End bubbles with proper punctuation!!! You use question marks and exclamation points, there's even an ellipsis on the 3rd page, but there are no periods at the end of declarative sentences.

-If it's not too much hassle then maybe use different fonts for things like character speaking out loud, character's thoughts and narration.

Please do give any feedback you have, this is my first real attempt at typesetting/editing manga.

sample edit of EHCOVE [Serenta (BOM)] Eika-san to Issho (DOG DAYS)
[mega.nz] https://mega.nz/#F!VQRWUaga!xCdOn8oqHyR0H3ex_83NJg

I'm not gonna be able to erase all sfx, for those I can't I'll put the translation beside it. Is that okay?

Also, how should I do the cover page? Do I delete the original title like in the sample or just put the english title below the japanese title?

The speech bubbles look decent enough to me. I'd use a handwritten looking font for SFX and side-text like that "Yeah, right?" to match the original.

Sure, putting the translation beside SFX is the standard way for EHCOVE stuff, you can edit the easy ones.

If you can edit out the Japanese title, go for it. Maybe use various colors for the letters to make it somewhat similar to the original. And I'd suggest picking a different font for that as well.

I just found this marvel of editing and laughing so hard http://ehentaihip.com/g/1367675/459fbe1522/

Heya, new editor here. Looking for some quick critique of what I've got done so far.

Looks pretty good. The one thing that sticks out and I would change is the leading on the Komika Text Kaps. The Photoshop default is way to high on that font. Try it with 85% instead of the default 120%.

I want to proofread a translation note... but I want to cross-reference it on the source material so that I could have the idea on what to proofread/edit.
Is there any text aggreator and ocr for images available out there?
Ones that i can use offline.

Hello! I'm a translator looking for an editor to edit the harder pages. I'm willing to pay with real money, and/or translations. I'm looking for quality as good or better than this: http://ehentaihip.com/g/1535735/bc838d79b3/ (it's something I did by myself). If anyone is interested please send me a DM with your rates and some of your works.

You have to post a different link, that's leading into your personal control panel which we can't access ourselves.

Whoops. Fixed it, I think. Just use ex instead of e-

Hey, I'm a beginner editor, just want to ask a question. If there are sets with textless versions available, would it be faster just to add text bubbles onto those rather than clean out texts? If so, what text bubbles should I use for it?

Hey, I'm a beginner editor, just want to ask a question. If there are sets with textless versions available, would it be faster just to add text bubbles onto those rather than clean out texts? If so, what text bubbles should I use for it?

Are the bubbles in the raw version opaque or transparent. If opaque, then it might be faster to clean them, unless some text (usually moans) goes partially outside the bubbles (I'm talking about you, BLACK DOG), then it depends. If you end up adding bubbles yourself, then I'd try to match the raw version's.
Also, does the textless version contain sfx and action lines or other non-verbal cues? If not, but the raw version does, then do you want/need them?

Hmm that's a yes to everything. It's because of the transparency which makes it so annoying to clean, that's why i thought making my own bubbles would be faster.

Some CG sets use black and white at certain opacity values for bubbles.
In that case you can just put the textless version at the bottom and the one with text above. Then mask out the text and put a new layer between them, paint in the bubbles with black or white and then find the correct opacity setting to match it. (often something like 50% or 75%)
Like this: [imgur.com] https://imgur.com/a/OwN95au

If the bubbles use something other that black or white it's difficult to find the correct color to match it. In that case you might be better of either completely replacing the fill of the bubble or just remaking the bubble from scratch.
Same for when you have some crazy pointy bubbles with moans in them that spill over the bubble. Just mask them out and remake them.
As for making new bubbles, you can use the pen tool to make shapes (in PS, no idea how that works in Gimp or other software). Just trace them from the original to match the design.
