Hi Lilman I finally discovered Canti after googling things like "comics kindle batch editing" and expanding results from mobileread. cannot wait to leave work to try out your program!!! I recently bought a Kindle 1 solely for the purpose of creating my "Portable" virtual comic book collection and had a pretty bad first attempt last night at converting with Irfanview. No matter what I tried my 600 X 800 jpgs would be triple in size after conversion to the smaller size unless I reduced the quality from 100 to 80. And there were a million options that had little or no effect selected/unselected. Also the shrinking of the image would cause unholy amounts of grainy scan matter making them even harder to read. I really hope I solve this issue as most of my scans are from lower rent presses on not quite brown paper bag type paper that lacks the beautiful scan white contrast of a manga, I have a feeling your users who requested the contrast option may have a similar issue. Would love any input from longtime Canti users.

. I have 100 gbs of scans of regular "comics" on a hdd I cant wait to unleash this program on. Do I still need to excersize a script for a library batch edit with the gui? Can't wait to take my old TMNT, Critters, Crumb and Heavy Metal ect on the long plane ride home this Christmas. Cheers and Thank for your work! Im positive its exactly what Ive been searching for! THANK YOU!
