Tutorial! How to Scanlate! Part-2

Alright~,there's nothing much to do left really~.I forgot to mention about the image resizing and another level after you've done the denoising, which I've already edited the post before. To the next step!

3) Translate and Type.
You can translate it yourself, or find a translated manga at Mangahelpers.But be sure to credit the translator! For the typing, i normally use GIMP software(again, Google it).What you'd need;
1)GIMP or Adobe Photoshop,there's no difference really, its just it's much easier using GIMP(for me).
2) if you're using GIMP, google for the Script-Fu files for making stroke words.
3) Fonts.(this is mine, link)
normally people used Wild Words, Manga Temple for typing, but its up to you.
-We start by opening the GIMP. Open the Image file. then don't forget to change the image attribute to Greyscale. I tend to forget that.Image->Mode->Greyscale.
-Choose the fonts.Normally the font size is between 17-19 for the normal bubble. Tick all of the squares. Make the words centered and the spacing is 3.
-and that's it, insert the translated words, move the bubble square so that it looks nice~.
-Once you'd finish, flatten the image by Image->Flatten Image.
-and Save!(don't forget .png) and press next2.
-Finish! Repeat the same thing with another 18 pages and you get yourself a chapter.
Happy trying~(if you have any question, just pm me).
