Migite No Koibito [English], by Makinosaka Shinichi
Two childhood friends took their sweet time to realize they’re in love and feeling normal sexual attraction to each other, but at long last, here it comes ! And here they came ! I retouched the pictures to remove lots of crap, cf the before / after versions. Thanks to Desudesu for the release, and… |
And besides… PLEASE IF YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF GRAPHISM, RETOUCHING, COLOR MANAGEMENT, COULD YOU HELP ?
One of the pictures I used for testing the retouching results gave me a painful shock, and, without exaggeration, I lost all confidence in the “product” I was offering you when I made a retouching. Would I have been going too far, not far enough, am I missing very important information ?
This is about that picture. I realized it had a TOTALLY different appearance (look at the blacks in the speech bubble, it’s even MORE vivid with the naked eye than with a digital camera) depending on where and how I viewed them. In Photoshop, or in ACD See. And in Firefox ? Grrr !.
– So, basically, I’m lost T_T
I’m taking all advice and recommendations to understand that mess, thanks if you can help
Open the Complete Pictures Gallery (or the backup gallery)
Here comes the zip link! Help yourselves! ^^
(62 MB, 26 pictures, English)
Or you can also use the Alternative :
Zip Mirror #1 – or – Zip Mirror #2
WTF IS THAT!!!!!!!!! I see checkboards everywhere
That's called a moiré pattern (or at least, that's the closet thing I can think to call it). It happens because of bad rotations and resizing.
It's kind of like an optical illusion of sorts.
Hmmm, I'm gonna resize whole pages
That's what causes it though.
I don't like the pattern
..I know. Which is why I'm telling you to not resize. Resizing is what causes it to occur.
It's like "that's the joke" all over again.
TRUE!
62 MB for only 26 pictures ?!?!?! o.0
no f**king way!!!!!!
over 1 Mb per pic = no download
but thx anyway
They are pretty large images. Desudesu released this a bit smaller, like 42MB and even those were I think tagged as 'resize' so they must have started off with some rather high-res scans.
I'm sure some of the bloat here though is from the editing, most image programs are notorious for exporting horribly optimized files.
Typesetters (since they're usually the ones who do the saving) need to learn to save as an indexed image.
Drops the image size tremendously and makes them look amazing on cell phones.
Pretty good, only thing I noticed was the guy suddenly turns tan about halfway through
weird
Nice! =D

Actually, Oliver, it's different for every monitor too. Really depends on how bright or dark someone set their screen, if they're using some sort of default mode (for example, my monitor has a web mode, a game mode and a movie mode, in addition to the standard mode) or (hell) even the connection used. I had noticeable changes when going from VGA to DVI, and I wouldn't be surprised if it changed with HDMI too (I don't use HDMI on this monitor cuz it sucks anyway).
Fuck, I wouldn't be surprised if the type of graphics (integrated vs GPU, NVIDIA vs AMD, etc) impacted it too.
Yeah, we ran into the same problem at work a while back – designed some nice coloured highlighting for some cells in a report, built the application and it looked really garish. After some investigation it was just the differences between the laptop monitor and the extra screen plugged into it showing colours vastly differently – which can be fixed by adjusting the settings for your own monitor, but will look different for everyone else so that doesn't really solve anything.
It's nice having my random babbles verified by a professional.
Nice point! ! ! '-'

That kind of story I will never get tired to read. There are people who call it plain and even boring but it was so cute that I absolutely don't mind. Thanks Desudesu for the translation and Oliver for sharing it.
True Dat B)
Internet high five.
Hey Oliver,
All this vanilla hentai is amazing, but can you please recommend some "chocolate" joints? Meaning: Where do I go to fulfill my occasional, nasty urge to read NTR, straight shota, rape hentai. Thanks in advance.
in case this link wasn't pointed before, very long but very interesting article about gamma correction in numeric images: http://www.4p8.com/eric.brasseur/gamma.html
Man, it has been a while since I last visited HR and I didn't realize how much I missed these silly stories that you can't help but smile at the end. Now I have to ask myself why the hell did I stayed away for so long? Hentai Rules is definitively the best hentai site on the web.
Yes, why were you away, shoo, bad !
Welcome back ^^
hmmm….ever tried using a different picture editor app? yes, i do know that photoshop has a whole set of intricacies that make a great editor, but if its not working for you, why not try something else? have you tried using irfanview?
Oliver, I can't say what's causing this problem (other than different software interpreting extremely dark greys differently), but here's a simple, quick fix for it in Photoshop. Open the image. Create a new layer; I called it "blacks". Fill that layer with solid black using the PaintBucket. Turn off the visibility of the "blacks" layer. In the Background layer, use the Magic Wand. Set Tolerance to 4 and uncheck Conctiguous, and make the selection inside one of the large black areas. Invert the selection. Turn the "blacks" layer visibility back on, and make it the active layer. Hit the Delete key. Deselect. You now have nothing but pure blacks in a separate layer, everywhere the Background layer is anywhere near black. Save the image to jpg, and you're done! It should now look the same no matter what you use to view it.

Um, why not? Nothing lost except unwanted shades of dark grey where it should be pure black.
That's not how editing works. Not to mention it looks awful.
Unrelated: The release of the decensor for Kimisuki is stalled until the translator stops being dead. There are a couple lines people asked about after release that I was gonna get fixed come batch time, but figured as I was gonna be posting it decensored, might as well get it done now.
OMG Akemi was very sweet ^^ thank you!
