The Dragon Next Door no. 17-18 (Chapter 25-27) Cleans

Automatic creation of the photoshop files and automatic export to transparent layers of minimal size

For those who wish to automate menial repetitive parts of the cleaning process, we have some photoshop scripts that invariably saves time.

Requirement:
1. Photoshop
2. Doonge's Scanlating Tools - Download
3. RAWs

Instructions
1. Extract the zip file (doonge's tools) > put these scripts in the same Folder as the RAWs.
2. For best results, your Folder name should be the Publication ID of your chapter. It's not mandatory, but it saves some time.

How to find publication ID:
If you are on naver, browse the source code (CTRL+U), then search (CTRL+F) for "content_image_", it will bring you directly to the source code of the first image of the chapter, something like:

<img onerror="this.src='http://static.comic.naver.net/staticImages/COMICWEB/NAVER/img/common/blank.gif'" src="http://imgcomic.naver.net/webtoon/186811/151/02b76cc76d0c81201135fed878a8c93c_IMAG01_1.jpg" title="" alt="" id="content_image_0" onload="loadImageEvent(this);" oncontextmenu="return false" ondragstart="return false" onselectstart="alse">

In Bold is the publication ID. The number here represents the 151st release. And all the RAWs are stored in a folder named "151". So in this particular case you would name your folder "151" aswell.

If you don't care much about this (it's not crucial since the typesetter or the releaser will do it anyway), just name your folder whatever, but put a number in it (cheese in the trap chapter 47 for instance, or anything).

1. Pre-Clean Procedures
Put the scripts contained in doonge-tools.zip in your working folder (where you put the raws), and once the script and RAWs are together in the same folder:
Run build_psds.jsx (The PSD file creator) - This will Open photoshop> Open all the raws (.jpg) it finds in your folder > Rename your files correctly and save them as .psd (Photoshop file)

You can then start cleaning normally, (don't modify how you work just because we use overlays, they will automatically created). But don't delete the raws in the folder, they'll be used later.

2. Post-Clean Procedures: Saving your cleans as PNGs - DO NOT skip this step or try doing it manually:
Once you have finished cleaning and saved your Photoshop PSD files.
- Pre-requirement Your folder MUST contain: all the scripts, Raws, and the cleaned PSDs.
- Make sure to have Photoshop configured to save PNG-24 files with "Transparency" and "Interlaced" Ticked; Metadata set to: None (Go to Save as web devices to edit PNG-24 saving settings)
Then Run publish_diff_overlay.jsx (Saves your cleans in our desired format) - This will open photoshop > Remove unnecessary color information from your clean> Save your work in PNG format.
Note: Now you will have lots of .PNG files that look almost totally transparent. These are your cleans, so don't discard them!

3. Post-Clean Procedures: Lowering file size of your cleans:
- Prerequirement:
- You should already have .PNG files that were created in Step 4.
- The script should be in the same folder as the cleaned .PNG files
Run pngcrush.bat - This will run pngcrush.exe > Decrease the png file size without reducing quality > Saves your cleans in a folder called "Crushed" The content of this "Crushed" folder is what you should send us.
(remember to run pngcrush.BAT, running pngcrush.EXE directly is useless.)
