Everyman Studios Mini-Comics. Thus far, these were the most difficult and time consuming books I've 'Restored'. Do to the fact that they are of a smaller size to begin with, and the paper they were originally printed on was SOOO thin, I literally had to go through them ONE PAGE at a time. No batch applications of the 'Restoration' changes on these. In fact, by the time I was done I had actually discovered several new settings, or combinations of settings, to use on these 'Restoration' projects. Since they were a smaller book to begin with, I haven't enlarged the images quite as much as my usual 'Restorations', either. You will STILL need to click down the size 2 or 3 notches to get the most out of the work done to these books. Some of these are quite interesting, or strange, or beautifully drawn, or just nice pieces of art that very few people would ever have seen if not for the efforts of the original collectors and scanners. I did skip one, called 'Samyang Ramyon', because I just couldn't find any 'Restoration' settings that worked and it wasn't very interesting or fun to look at to begin with.

Part of the 'Restoration' process is done to make it possible to enlarge these images. As such, after you have opened the files in a comic book reader some of you may actually need to shrink them down a bit to improve the image quality.
-------------------------------------------------------
After it was pointed out to me that people were getting a GonVisor popup, I am now creating these books in such a way as to have stopped that from happening. No GonVisor popup will appear on any 'Restorations' in the future.
-------------------------------------------------------
I have almost 1500 Underground comic books in a digital format. I will be restoring and uploading many of my favorites over the coming months. Any requests, just say the word.
So what does 'Restored' mean? Well, with respect to all the work the scanners have done in order to make these books available, the pages were not yellow when first printed. Newsprint? Yes, often they were. Cheap paper? Yeah, that too. But not yellow.
In most cases, the changes make the books look better than they did when they were originally printed. By turning the newsprint or cheap paper they were printed on to a bright white, with crisp, clear greys and solid blacks on top, they look very much like a new b&w comic you would buy right off the shelf today.
This is accomplished by running the b&w pages through the PhotoScape Batch Editor. The Filters applied to the pages are; Grayscale (changes the image to greyscale); a 'Middle' or 'High' setting on Auto Level (greatly improves the blacks); a 'Low' or +1 Sharpen (barely noticeable, even if you watch the changes take place); 'Deepen' is used if there is bleed through from the image on the back of the page or to improve the overall look of color or b&w pages. Occasionally 'Brighten' or 'Darken' are used if needed. Color covers, back or interior pages are 'Restored' on a page by page basis.
