Set Project: Software edit

I have scanned all sheets alongside with my pencil sketches. They will be significant as a record of thoughts about the colours.

-With black&white (ink) and in colour. 

This means that it is time to ''glue'' those pages in order to embed the book.

Firstly, I pasted the pages onto Photoshop. I used option ''levels'' to reach proper contrast or saturation.

I cleaned the page from the black bits. When I reassured myself that I made the clear, contrasted version.

Thereafter, I placed the page onto Illustrator software. 

I traced and embed the picture settings in the default high-quality version.

Unfortunately, the embed version has white elements attached to the black outline. Of course, I have a problem with deleting this from the image. I tried to find a solution on youtube. But for me it is hard to explain my problem, I can't usually specify and put into words software problems. 

I cannot find anything helpful. I came back to the software to find a way how to fix it.

Finally, I found a solution on yt. I made a mistake with tracing options. Now, I can easily trace all ink images onto coloured sheets.

The coloured ones I enhanced by using the same settings as with black&white version.  

The next step was only assimilation ink&colour. However, I indicated a special calculation. I cannot do it on photoshop without measure.

Sometimes it has white scraps, then I simply created a new page with a red background to catch and delete them.

By doing all those steps I was unsure about measures. However, they are mandatory in this case. Again, I watched a video regarding this. 

I thought that I was doing well. Unfortunately, a new problem began. I did not realize that the text can be that short in some cases. Below is a picture. I could not enlarge the font because then the text played the main role.

Therefore, another software, Indesign. I made a new document for a trial. With top and bottom margins on 2,5cm, the outsides per 1 cm.

Unfortunately, however, the top block was not matching with the one below... Therefore, I decided to came back to photoshop to set things up and then I could insert pages with metrics. I repeated the same order in other scanned pages. 

By words of conclusion, the software edit seemed to be an easy step. However, I found some difficulties and during the process, I could manage to fix them. The websites and videos are really helpful. As I finished the illustrations, there is a high time to finish a design for the cover.
