Pokemon Special ch 370

Bah, got delayed by FLY AWAY NOW FLY AWAY NOW FLY AWAYYYYY~

Anyways, this chapter is the start of a new policy change, which is to introduce denoising. Although putting black paper in the back of the scanner to absorb the light helps, the texture of the black construction paper still reflects back. Denoising, using PictureCode's Noise Ninja (since Vivacity doesn't work with 64-bit PS), should eliminate some of the problems.

I need to step up my scanning game to match Kirin Studios for Lying Mii-kun and Broken Maa-chan, since they aren't answering me. To be fair, my message did sound like a Nigerian prince scam, only with an American scanlator who wants to scam your hard-earned raws. At any rate, I subscribed to Young Ace from Fujisan, which seems to be the cheapest game in town for importing magazines. It's still $17 per issue and I have no idea how fast they ship (I hope they're not using sea transport, which will take 1-3 months).

The technical ramifications of using denoising are fascinating. On one hand, the file sizes have decreased dramatically, from a little less than 1MB / page to 700KB / page. On the other, the effects of neuquant compression is slightly visible now, so I might have to increase the maximum number of colors in the future. (On an unrelated note, I wish this website had an option to make the comparison private)

Well, enough talk, here's the chapter:
