Automated manga making workflow (Krita)

Automate parts of your manga making workflow

Krita manga templates are provided in krita_manga

Usage:

1. Draw pages, labeled pg1.kra, pg2.kra, etc. and put in PROJECT/ (or make your own folder in the repo - just make sure you copy the Makefile)
2. cd PROJECT && make
3. Rerun above command if changes to pages are made
4. Upload resulting pngs located in PROJECT/out/

Features:

1. Filters out guidelines and pencils
2. Crops images to trim lines
3. Pads page numbers to 3 digits to maintain lexical ordering when uploading images to sites like Imgur

Notes:

• as of now, tested on Ubuntu Linux
• you should have Krita installed

misc_scripts/:

• alphize.py - adds transparency to images. Useful for screentones and coloring analog drawings
• rename.py - some digital scanners name images with a date/timestamp/sequence, so this script renames them to pg1.png, pg2.png, ...
• krita_shortcuts.sh - a script to set my Krita shortcuts (X.Org + Huion Kamvas 20)

Usage examples:

./misc_scripts/alphize.py examples/alphize/
./misc_scripts/rename.py examples/rename/
