Translating a couple chapters and resisting the urge to drink a cold beer because it makes me sleepy.

Speaking of scanlating, it seems a mod is white-knighting a certain scanlation group for some reason. You can't criticize this group, or call them shit, or do anything without getting warned. Pic related. Ban me if you want mod, at least I'll be able to focus on my TL then.

I don't like webtoon shit but there's this Korean magazine called Quang Comics that is all about artsy and experimental comics, I don't know much about it other than it has a very talented artist I stumbled upon on Instagram by the name of plato_q (I'm sure it has more great ones though).

Now I'm sure the amount of Korean translators is minimal and those interested in anything not webtoon or not popular even less, but still, I lose nothing by bringing attention to these small comics that maybe someone else might be interested in them as well and hopefully someday one might get scanlated.

I like how you didn't answer which image was done with which process.

And you understand very little about scanlation.
Sending a picture to your computer via beams of light is a far from a perfect process. The image gets warped, recolored, damaged and resized. Filters are the only way to correct those imperfections.

It actually does matter. Because you are claiming to be highly knowledgeable about the subject, yet you can't answer a simple question and do nothing but whine and say "im right because i say so". Just how stupid are you? Leveling is a type of destructive filtering. You're contradicting yourself.

The trim function is surprisingly good as long as you have things straight. Create (record then save) an action that straightens usin the ruler tool, then trims. Run it on you raws as a batch. You'll have to do some minor corrections but 99% of the most tedious work is done then.

>>144287642
It depends on where you're trying to rip from.
>>
>>144287988
I'm sure each website has a slightly different way, and I'm pretty sure each scrambled image can be descrambled with a key.

Well, in the worst case I'll just use an optimization algorithm that applies to any scrambled image regardless of website, but it's not a 100% correct solution.

I can also just spend a lot of time analyzing the tons of Javascript that each website loads, but I'd rather now.

To be fair, they're paying $5-8 for something you're already making anyway and that they're already getting anyway. They just want you to not upload it elsewhere. I'm sure a lot of the control freak types will jump on that, the ones who already put watermarks on their shit that show up if an aggregator resizes it, or who hide their releases on password protected tumblr clubs and stuff so no unapproved people can get it.

>Does anyone here know how to unscramble the images?
>I can also just spend a lot of time analyzing the tons of Javascript that each website loads, but I'd rather now.

Finding the required functions in the javascript is the only way to write a standalone tool. Paste the code into JS beautifier to make it readable. You also need to locate the descrambling data that itself might be encrypted or encoded (jump plus is an example, it uses the BID as a decryption key), it's usually obtained with a separate HTTP request. Once you locate the descrambling function it's all a matter of rewriting it to the target language, you don't need to understand it at all, just paste it to your IDE and try to adapt it. Or you can go the nwjs way and just paste the code as it is, it should work with minor tweaks.

The lazy approach is to locate the image canvas and save it to disk every time it's rendered, but that confines you to the browser and you need to know Javascript. You can also try to experiment with PhantomJS in that case.

>Well, in the worst case I'll just use an optimization algorithm that applies to any scrambled image regardless of website, but it's not a 100% correct solution.

That would be a cool experiment actually, if it worked it would save trouble fixing tools every time a store changes the descrambling algorithm.

Can I get a fucking word with Illuminati? Anyone here from Illuminati? Cus I've messaged GGpX on the IRC dozens of times over the past few months, and I still haven't gotten any response. Don't think I've gotten a response from the general chat either. GGpX said a while back that he would want to continue translating Tough part 1 if there was an editor available. There is an editor available, yet now I cannot get in contact with anyone from Illuminati. Can someone cross this bridge for me? Getting sick of shit not getting done purely because of ineptitude.

Why the fuck are people so bad at just saying they won't be around; why the fuck are people so bad at maintaining teams?
Why does scanlation suck so much in general
This kind of bullshit makes me want to quit, but I feel like that'd be letting down the readers/teams that might need me

If it gets that bad, ditch the group and release it yourself. If there's anything you can't get done, you could ask around for help or release as is and put a note in there that you need someone to help you.

Why don't groups release their raws? I want to read stuff in Japanese, there are scanlations but no public raws.
>>
>>144294270
Because then you'll have far more reason to be DMCA'ed/hounded by the publishers.
>>
>>144294270
Then go buy them yourself. Scanlation's main purpose isn't for you to read shit for free, it's to allow people who can't into moon. That it's free is the bonus, not the main point. If you can read moon, then stop being a leech.
>>
I've been interested in doing scanlation work for a while. All these terrible translations without any QC whatsoever, I just feel like I could help improve releases like that.
I'm not a native speaker but I sure as hell have a better grasp of the language than all these Comic Sans spics.
I also know my way around PS.
The thing is that the ones I'd like to help out on are usually already staffed. And I'm not too interested in working on manga I don't particularly care about. So where should I even start?

Sorry, it's been a few years for me since I've done this actually. I might be dreaming that bit up. I found the action I used and it's definitely called "BatchStraightenCrop." Pretty sure I even put some slight leveling in there, resizing even. I honestly forget how any of this works though, so I'm going to play with it and get back to you.
>>
>>144296618
I think I remember. This thing I saved is actually something anon posted in a thread when I was just developing an interest myself, maybe. It's a script, not the action I made that used this script in it. Maybe. God I'm stupid. It's fun though.

No, really, it's fine.

So here's that BatchStraightenCrop script I mentioned if anyone's interested in playing around with it: https://mega.nz/#!ldEjiR5S!QGTIYhc7xsLZeGIuNL6DE1M37-Mq5fXwKzgiXVEbQWw

Thanks again to anon for making it and sharing it a few years ago. I can't remember how to use it in Photoshop myself because I've let myself grow lazy and stupid, but you probably can figure it out if you're doing this stuff every day. I know I used this and some other stuff I did on an entire raw volume somehow. Took about a day.

>>144296942
I've been looking through the script trying to figure out how it does it but this is like trying to read moon to me. Someone smarter can tell you how it works maybe. I can tell you anon's code is pretty neat and tidy though.

>>144297350
Can you post a before and after so I can see the difference.
>>
>>144297968
Yeah, I do remember spending a bit of time making corrections, but still thinking that it saved me a ton of time overall by only having to rotate one degree or crop one edge here or there every few pages. I loved playing with actions to automate my cleaning process. The scans I was working with were great quality too and only needed the same minor adjustments for leveling on every page too. That way I got to have more fun erasing and redrawing stuff.
>>
>>144298208
Oh, The chink script I said is completely different one to yours.
>>
>>144298258
Sorry. Maybe anon playing with it now can. Send me some raw pages that need straightening and cropping? I think there''s a webm out there somewhere on some archive probably that shows it in action but hell if I know what keywords you'd want to search to find it. I think that post might not have even had any words in it and just a ton of "what the fuck is this??" replies before he shared the script.
