    yep, look at the jaggedness of the red line/box.
    which one of them you used again?

    paintdotnet can do a better job. >.>

    adobe's suite is cool to have, if you know how to use it, and have a use/need for them. otherwise, it is just a waste of money (if you really did bought them) and disk space.

    nah, I'm just too lazy to trace out every thing. the text is from your original post anyway.... I just cuts that little text out and zoom in, magic wand. mask, add a color block on the mask, change the opacity. every thing just under 1 minutes.

    edit: i don't really use photoshop.... but an replacement for illustrator? inks-cape? it just sucks.
    and I need the PDF editor for LiveCycle...

    Note: Livecycle can not fill out forums... it can only edits it....
    so far, there is no software that are able to open PDF forms with Java scrips.... a bit unsafe... but no choice?

    after that I use a bit of bridge ... even though I don't have a DSLR, great way to sort pictures on your phone, pretty sure that's not now it works.

    a bit of premier and aftereffects. when needed.

    and a bit of light rooms when editing alots of pictures with bridge...
    as for dream weaver, XD, fuse, indesign audtition.... I don't use them...

    I use visual studio for front-end or back-end when I can't use Linux on windows environment. why not windows? I need git, apt, and other package management tools. I just can't work on chocolaty. really chocolaty just don't works... merging yum and apt just sucks

    indesign? word doc is all I need. and it's free as long as you buy an education accounts in some random online shops. preferably some shabby forums like hiddenNUF.

    fuse? audtition? never heard of it. it's just fruity loops + I don't use anything similar to fuse I think.


    as for server DB? I give up... how many time have I mess up my tables... I always drop my table without me knowingly

    If it's webtoons you wanna read, I'm guessing you'd rather read them in longstrip mode.
    CDisplay (EX or normal version) is good regular manga reading, but if I'm not mistaken it loads pages separately.
    Not a problem, if you're going to merge the pages into a long strip, but if you don't wanna bother, there's a simpler way of achieving longstrip view.

    Just make a simple HTML reader:
    Code:
    <html>
    <body bgcolor=#666666>
    <center>
    <img src="01.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="02.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="03.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="04.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="05.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="06.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="07.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="08.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="09.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="10.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="11.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="12.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="13.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="14.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="15.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="16.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="17.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="18.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="19.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="20.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="21.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="22.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="23.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="24.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="25.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="26.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="27.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="28.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="29.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="30.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="31.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="32.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="33.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="34.jpg" border=0><br>
    <img src="35.jpg" border=0><br>
    </center>
    </body>
    </html>
    Unzip your archives into folders and put the file into the folder you wanna read.
    Oh, and you need to rename the files for this code to work (if the website you grabbed them from had a different naming system). Just get Advanced Renamer - it's very simple to use.

    If there's more than 35 images, you'll need to add more lines. Most series shouldn't have that many images - the groups I worked on webtoons with would usually merge shorter pages into longer strips, since it was annoying to QC otherwise.

    Precisely! Tried CDisplayEX, but no such option for it.
    Thanks, I'll try this method for now, at least until there's an automatized way to do it or a comic reader that have a webtoon mode.

    Again, sorry for the double posts guys, but for you who also desperately searching for a comic reader that works perfectly for webtoons, try this project I found.

    @Ral, this web-based app (it actually opens up in your browser rather than on its own) works like your method, albeit with some further added functions. It's not exactly good for webtoons out-of-the-box, since you have to edit the .css to remove the unneeded margin and shadow, but as far as continuous scrolling set as priority, it sure is works wonderfully.

    I'm actually not looking. I kind of gave up on webtoons when I started reading webnovels...
    I even stopped reading manga, for the most part - the last one I've read was One Piece, after over a 3yr break. I'm on another break now - I'll probably pick it up when the Wano Country arc finishes. I stopped right where the new "part" starts.

    Yeah, this method is just something I decided to use back in ~2014, mostly because I already had a variation of this file made for translators so that they had easier time assigning page numbers to their scripts.
    It was something like this:
    Code:
    <b>Page 01:</b><br><img src="01.jpg" alt="Page failed to load. It's either missing or is named incorrectly!" border=0><br><i>End of Page 01.</i><br><br>
    <b>Page 02:</b><br><img src="02.jpg" alt="Page failed to load. It's either missing or is named incorrectly!" border=0><br><i>End of Page 02.</i><br><br>

    But yeah, it's cool that you found something a bit more comprehensive.

    I think the Adobe suite is one of the best things ever. It is awesome as long as you understand how and when to use each software.
    InDesign is the greatest when you're editing for publishing. Audition was super useful when I had to edit interviews and podcasts. You can create a lot more with photoshop than only editing pictures. Tools just don't make up for a lack of ability so you just have to learn and practice it.
