This is going to take a little while to do nicely, so I'm probably going to need until tomorrow. If this thread dies, I'll make a new one when I'm done restoring it.

here's my attempt... much worse than 180430, but at full res. If someone has the time to talk about how they do this stuff, I'd be very very grateful, because I just go crazy with the rubber-stamp tool.

Love the cleanup! The color adjustments look very nice.

Smart blur is your friend for getting rid of grain or texture in a scan. Play around with it and it will become obvious how he used it. He also decreased the resolution which is a quick trick to make things look nicer and avoid more detailed work. It also is a good way to smooth out the rough spots that Smart Blurring leaves. Play around with it and you'll see how handy it is.

For color balancing (since yours is a bit washed out) use the Levels tool. It allows you to set how dark and how light the two extremes should be and where the image should fall in between. A picture should always include some pure black and some pure white. Use the Brightness/Contrast and Hue/Saturation tools to get the colors how you want.

To get the two sides to match up just takes some fiddling. What you do is select half the image and then mess with the aforementioned tools to get the brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation as close as possible. For instance the right side has a bit of a purple hue, less contrast, and is slightly lighter overall.

To merge the two use the clone stamp. This tool is intimidating but the key is to not be tempted to use large brushes. Also repeatedly zoom out to make sure your blending looks natural.

Hope that helps some.

First things first... don't forget that I love all of you!

Next, as for my methods, I'm afraid I can't give out all of my secrets. However, I will say this:

1) I use the GIMP, not Photoshop
2) I don't use smart blur
3) I do use the clone stamp
4) I go through so many steps in the restoration process, that I don't even remember in what order I did everything
5) N's tips are helpful
6) Don't take me too seriously

See you all around,

TAIM

I appreciate people who appreciate other people's hard work. I don't really consider myself to be an "image master," as my name implies (the name really is sort of a joke). I just tell myself, if anything is worth doing, do it well. So, I try. Here's to all the decent people here. I appreciate you... and, of course, you are welcome.

P.S. I honestly like the first version I posted better than the image I'm posting now, which, by the way, I still consider to be hi-res. Sorry if I insulted anyone. That wasn't the intention.

Your's truly,

TAIM

Yeah, the scans aren't so great. It's all I have though, I have 31 scans of "Lith" but they're all not the best.

If anyone has better scans... I'm sure everyone would appreciate it.

I've only got a few of the Lith scans.

A bit of cropping will sort out some of those scans.

That's true, but I always hate to lose some of the picture. Even if I'd never notice heh.

Btw, looking at the last picture I had, had a link to www.animeartbooks.org which forwarded to www.beanoo.com which had a link to http://dpg.acxn.net/torrents/%5BDPG%5DLith%5B29511d87%5D.rar.torrent

Two sides are different colors. You can tell where the seam is. No.180514 is still the best one so far.

Her skin still looks a bit of a weird color, you might try bumping up the saturation of the reds/oranges/yellows.

You still need to fiddle a lot with the color balance on the right to make it match. Offhand I notice that the fabric is more of a navy or indigo on the left and more of a greyish-purple on the right. To fix that you will probably need to work with the saturation and hue of only those colors so that the green and the chick's skin stay the appropriate color.

You can still tell where the seam is, and where you used the smudge tool. Needs also some color correction. People that are godly at removing seams are the ones where you can't tell where the seams are.

I'm>>180514again.

Here's another fix I did. This one was a bitch. I didn't use the blur tool, so I'll leave it up to other people to do the smart blur/color correction. Personally I don't like to use blur too much because it's destructive and you lose some of the detail.
>> Monkey
I didn't use the smudge tool .... so your incorrect there and please point out where you can see the seam
>> Anonymous
>>181118
You didn't do any color correction. You can tell where the right and left sides are joined. The contrast on the right side needs to be increased a bit. Also you can tell where the clone brush tool was used because of the uneveness of the color.
>> Monkey
Your monitor must suck man the colour is perfect in the middle where they join, as it gets to the right it gets brighter it's meant to as it;s light reflecting on them which is why the sword shines..... there is a problem at the bottom of the sword still but I'm still fixing it
