I'm actively scanning the Ergo Proxy manga Centzon Hitchers and Undertaker. I would love to provide someone with the files so they can be cleaned and translated. I scanned at 600 DPI. Each chapter is about 300mb at 2 pages per .tiff.

What's the best way to provide the raws to groups? Should I compress them at all? Upload each ~300mb chapter to some hosting site? I've sat on these raws for years and only just got motivated to scan them. I'd appreciate some advice on how to get them in the right hands. Thanks.

EDIT: I'm leveling the blacks/whites and resizing them as .PNGs FYI.

Can you post an example of a page?

Yes, here's a page from chapter 4 which I'm leveling/cropping/resizing into .PNGs as I scan. The previous chapters are still uncropped/unedited .tiff files which I'll edit after this chapter.

If I seem to be doing something wrong or rudimentary, please say so. I'm not too well-versed in this process.

That's awesome!! Thank you D4nish! I hope someone can pick this up.

FYI, I'll be posting a .rar of volume 1 once I finish scanning/leveling/resizing it all. Hopefully be Wednesday next week, perhaps?

"If I had a seinen translator for this I'd......."

Same old song.
No someone should pick it up even if we got no seinen translators. If it's as good as the anime then "weeeehh" it would be great to have it scanlated.

I hope you find someone to pick it up, well if there's a translator who wants to do it and don't got a group, just come my way. It's 2 volumes so it's managable. :3
