Select the furthest right triangle below the Input box and drag it left, the further left the whiter the whites are in your image. Now here's where the real changes start- go to Colors>Levels and a box will come up displaying what looks like a hill range.
Next go to Colors> Desaturate and just select Average (I don't find this step all that important but it's a precaution and again the script still doesn't need any changing)ģ. (The script requires no changes here it checks if the image is RGB or not and if it isn't it automatically converts it)Ģ. Go to the upper menu and select Image>Mode and if it isn't already in RGB format select it, this is crucial to apply changes.

#WARPSHARP 2 TUTORIAL FREE#
The only requirements are the latest free Gimp 2.6+, a text editor (I just use notepad), and the warp sharp plugin found at Now this in itself isn't very special, but I have written a script (macro) that performs the same changes to every image in the specified folder and the only real interaction required of you is to change some values in the script which can be found easy. Well I found it and now im going to share it in case any other raw browsers find it useful.įirst off the results to expect in the form of a before and after: 1. I had some time to kill so I decided to look for a way to "batch process" multiple raw B+W images of roughly the same quality into better looking and less space consuming reading material (more like viewing for me as I can't read jap =P). I don't offer the following tutorial for Manga Editor usage (although they're more then welcome to it if they find this helpful) but for us fans who have in their possession large quantities of manga raws yet to be scanlated in eye straining quality. Manga Editors have it rough cleaning the raws up before tossing them out for us to enjoy no one will contest that. I posted this over in the Jtutorials forum but I spent so much time writing it I thought it'd be a waste not to bring it over to a larger fanbase so I can expect criticism and suggestions faster =) I'll write up the new instructions sometime later but from looking at the script and referencing the old procedure it should be pretty self explanatory. After messing around with the kodansha raws I've thrown together a new script I think will work better for a larger spectrum of raws. I had only used the previously posted script on Rena-chan's already high quality large files.
Edit: As you might have noticed from my old script i am still a "cleaning" noob (although im not really cleaning just applying general attributes).
