I have a 2 questions I’d love someone to help me with

[rorsdors]

I have a 2 questions I’d love someone to help me with because I’ve gone over the manual and I’m crossed eyed but none the wiser.
I find the grey tones very odd, on screen 50 or 60 looks ok but when I print them out they are way too dark, only 10% prints out right, but I find it nigh on impossible to see when I’m painting it on. On screen it’s almost invisible. Is my printer at fault or are the tones darker when printed than on screen?
If you are working on pages then decide you’d like to change the panel lay out so you want to take on panel and paste it onto a previous page how do you go about that. I Photoshop I’d always just click on all the relevant layers go to edit /copy then go to the page I wanted the layers on and go edit/paste. I can’t seem to find a way of doing that in manga studio, and I looked, and tried a lot of things.


Any help greatly appreciated:)

Hummm, what kind of printer are you using? 50%-60% tone will be dark, because you're printing 50%-60% gray there. Normal people can hardly tell the value different greater than 65% on print, without a scale chat to compare side by side. ;)

But I also find some new photo printer...espeically the one from Canon that use new "dye" black ink, will print 10% darker than normal ink. :mad: So it also depends on the printer and ink too.

The value different between print and on screen can be cause by poor monitor calibrate, like brightness and contrast is setting too high.

Can you try using different printer and test it out?

To make panel, first you need to create a new panel ruler layer. Then if you want to copy that panel to other drawing, you can select that panel ruler layer. Go to selection> select all and copy. Then paste the panel ruler layer to your new drawing. :)

another way is to print samples of tones, and decide which tone you are goin to use based on the print result [:D]

What are the "grey tones" used for anyway? Aren't the practically the same as the Screen>Dot tones? :confused:

[ouch]

yes, it is the same with dot tone. But when you apply those, you won't see the dot, it just grey. When you export it in 2bit, it will become dot though. ^_^

Try looking at your export settings. This problem usually has something to do with whether your set to export to RGB or not. Try changing between and compare results.

ummm...I only refer to the different in grey tone though. Because most people will assume that grey tone will be flat grey no matter what format they're output.:)

To get an exported image with THE EXACT SAME grey tones that you have in manga studio, you MUST change grayscale to RGB in the export settings.

That's it.

This definitely works, I had the exact same problem a while ago.
