I’ve patched rasterfarian to 2.5.2

Changes:

• Option to select shades of grays (if you use the old eink-screen, chose 4, if you’re using the vizplex screen use 8.
• Batch functionality works. (earlier versions will corrupt the TOC)

Notes:

If you’re using manga2ebook’s unsharp and contrast normalize settings, you might want to consider using 4 shades of gray. Otherwise the contrast could be too high and you get jagged text, if the fonts are really small.

The batch functionality only works if the PDF-files are in different directories. To use the batch, just start another instance of rasterfarian while one instance is running.

Install rasterfarian 2.5.1 and overwrite the directory with the patch. A new installation version will be released by the end of next week.

The patch

I’ve made this version of manga2ebook awhile ago, but never bothered to release it as I thought that there weren’t many people interested in the tool.

The comments made by users recently and me obtaining the new Sony Reader PRS505 urged me to release the new version anyway.

Here it is, Manga2Ebook 1.0.3

.net install version. You need to have imagemagick and .net2.0 installed

And the binaries version, with imagemagick included

Changes?

Added:
Increased speed.
Added unsharp mask option. This will create a sharper image which result in sharper contrast when pulled through rasterfarian
Added a “clear” option to quickly clear the filename.

Added features, but not fully tested:
Added crop option. Just type in the pixels you want to cut off the 4 sides of the image. Useful in conjunction with split.
Possible to split images into two. Useful for archives which has 2pages in one.
