Is comic book style art making a comeback?I think so. There's been a growing interest in vintage and retro art forms, and comic book style fits right in. Plus, some modern artists are giving it a fresh twist, making it more appealing to a new audience.
Comic Making E-Book Tutelage ImagesThe following is a tutorial for creating an e-book:
1. ** Material preparation **:
- There are many ways to download comics. You can use the comic downcharger to download online comics, or you can write your own comic crawlers (there are related projects on Github for reference), or go to a special comic download website to package and download. After obtaining the comic, if he wanted to create an e-book, if the picture was one or two pages, he would need to split the pages.
2. ** Page splitting (if necessary)**:
- For example, a two-page comic could be split using the ChainMP software (version 0.34 is recommended). First, run ChainLP.exe. When you first open it, go to [Language] → [English] and then restart the software. Then, drag the entire folder of the manga to the middle window of ChainMP (pink area). In the settings on the right, set the output to mir, size to w: 680H:1020, Aspect to tick and set it to half unit. Then, press the "Output" button on the top right corner to use the default folder. After confirming, start the file transfer. After transferring, compress the split image file into a zip or rar file.
3. ** Creating ePub**:
- Start Calibre and drag the compressed zip/rar file to the white space in the middle of Calibre. After that, he edited the title and cover. He clicked on the new book and selected [Edit meta-information] → [Edit meta-information individually]. He edited the title and author's name on the top left corner, and added the cover image on the bottom right corner. After editing, he pressed OK. When he returned to the main screen, he pressed the right button on the book and chose "Transform E-books" → "Transform individually." On the left, he chose "Page Setup" to change the Output Profile to the kindle DK, and the Input profile remained at Default (Calibre author has not added the iPad format). On the left, he selected "Comic Input" and ticked "disable comic processing." After pressing OK, he began to transfer the file. The transfer time was determined by the size and number of original images.
4. ** Transfer to iPad (if it is an iPad device)**:
- Connecting to the iPad and launching iTunes, drag the transferred epub comic to the "Library" at the top left corner of iTunes (if there is no Books, it will appear automatically after dragging), click on the iPad in the "Devices" at the bottom left corner, and you will see the comic in the books. Press sync at the bottom right corner to start uploading.
In addition, you can also write python scripts to create comic books:
1. ** Picture to PDA **:
- Use the PDFGen.canvas package in the ReportLab library to convert each image into a single PDF. You can use the PIL-library to read an image, get the image size, create a blank PDF-file of the same size, and then draw this image into the newly created PDF-file.
2. ** Combining PDFs **:
- Using the PdfFilemancer function in the PyPDF2 package, first customize a get_files function to get a list of the PDFs in the specified folder, then create a new PdfFilemancer () object, add all the obtained single PDFs in turn, and merge multiple PDFs. Finally, save and output the merged PDFs to the same folder in the python script.
3. ** document management (for multiple comics)**:
- For example, for multiple comics, each comic picture was in its own folder. It was necessary to access each folder in turn, convert all the pictures under it into a PDF, and then merge them. The generated PDF file was named after each folder and stored in the root folder.
