You have got your scanner and know how it works, and all set to go digital.
Here are some common questions for those who are creating their mangas digitally.
1) If I do want to print out my manga, what is the recommended resolution setting?
We recommend that you set the resolution to 200 dpi or 300 dpi.
2) Can I draw direct to computer or must I do it traditionally with a pencil and scan it in? (NEW!)
By all means go ahead and draw directly into the computer if you have the means to do so.
3) What file format should I use to print out the manga?
We recommend TIF / PDF /PSD /JPG/BMP
Generally we do not encourage you to use JPG unless you have no other way. If you have to use JPG, set the resolution to the highest.
4) What file format should I save inside the CD-ROM?
The same file formats recommended in Question 22.
5) What's a softcopy?
A softcopy is a digital, electronic version of your file that is created, stored and edited in the computer.
For example:
When you write a letter using Microsoft Words, you save it as a word document. The saved copy is known as a softcopy. When you print out your letter, it becomes a hardcopy.
