[Chocolat Vanilla] Cleaning high quality tank raws in one click v2.2.1
It is a long time since v1.
V1 has one last update, but since I am no longer using it, I won't post it.
Tbh I forgot which version is the last and where it is on my action list.
I was so busy that I couldn't post it until now.
So here is version 2.
Version 2.1.
Version 2.2.1. Download link
What makes ver 2 better?
I made it more logical than ver 1. The way it creates black matter is more natural (It is also the way I use for mag raws now that I tweaked to use for tank raws).
Also, I changed how it is resized so that it can achieve bigger size.
Even I made it more logical this time, it is not perfect.
For raws that scanned by LIDE 120, black matter still has dust. Make sure to make them black with pencil or fill black.

This chapter is cleaned by the action for LIDE 120.
Requirement
- 8 GB RAM (not sure 4GB would work, I haven't tried)
- 13GB free at C disk
- Photoshop, Topaz Denoise 3 & Topaz Denoise 6
- Raws scanned at 600 dpi without any filter (recommend using black paper to prevent bleedthrough)
Warning: It is super lag when action is playing. Don’t touch the PC.
There are 5 actions for 5 scanners.
CanoScan LiDE 120 - Kaguya SSSS04
Canon MG6130 - Brynhildr SSSS04
CanoScan LiDE 220 - Nanoha Yougashiten SSSS04
CanoScan LiDE 200 - Hanebado SSSS04
Epson V370 - Pocket Monster XY - Pokemon Ryuuouden SSSS04
Why denoise 6 but not denoise 5?
Because denoise 6 can play without being corrupted at big size. It is annoying that denoise 5 can only be played at < 10,000 px high.
How to use those actions? Same as v1.
Using
1. Rotate and crop. Remember to convert image to RBG color or grayscale mode before rotating. Rotating at Indexed Color will make image aliased.2. Fill/brush out most dusts in the edge because of torn pages.3. Pre-level. Remember to convert image to grayscale mode. (RBG color is banned for pre-level)
Raws to test action (LIDE 120): MEGAIf you don't do step 1 and 2 properly, when you click auto level, it will become like thatBeforeAfter (clicking Auto)If you do step 1 and 2 properly, when you click auto level, it will become like thatBeforeAfter (clicking Auto)Or you can just do pre-level by hand (level to outer edge).4. Click play action.5. Fill/brush out dust in the edge that you didn't notice after action was done, then canvas after getting rid of dusts.

Idea "Pre-level" (auto level) belongs to Knight (MTO - Manga Translation Organisation).
Idea resizing to a size that is divisible by/multiple of original size (x2 or /2) belongs to Ckrit.
Concept and action were developed by Mana Light (Chocolat Vanilla, Pure Mashiro).
