Canti: Manga Processing Program

[lilman]

Hi Sony board, I wrote this manga processing program (called "Canti") for my Kindle DX and iPad, but I've added in Sony settings so you guys should be able to use it as well.

-Feature List-
+Image processing:

-scale width/height
-reduce to maximum dpi
-auto trim white space around an image
-auto rotate landscape image to portrait
-full color or grayscale
-specify # of colors
-change source image format

+Supported input sources:

-Single folder of images
-Single .zip/.cbz
-Single .rar/.cbr (Note: Must have compatible unrar program installed on your system. See below for details.)
-Single .pdf
-A folder containing any number of the above items, allowing you to process a whole manga series with one command (See-Instructions- section for details on how to organize your manga for batch processing)

+Supported output formats:

-Folder of images (any format supported by ImageMagick should be ok)
-.zip/.cbz
-.rar/.cbr (Note: Must have compatible rar program installed on your system. See below for details.)
-pdf (including right-to-left page ordering)
-epub (including right-to-left page ordering)

+Supported input images:

-Pretty much anything that ImageMagick supports (see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php)
It's safe to assume that all major image formats are supported: .jpg, .bmp, .gif, .png, etc...

+Binding

-Binding allows you to combine multiple input sources into a single output
-Two ways to use binding:
-Can create a bind file to manually specify which chapters to bind into a single volume
-Can also auto bind a specified number of chapters into volumes

+Auto split landscape 2-page scans

-Can detect whether a landscape scan contains two separate pages and split them accordingly
-Tries not to split landscape 2-page scans where the two pages form one big image

+Generate a settings file for a variety of ereader devices

-Optimal settings stored for many of the top ereader devices like the Kindle DX, K2, and iPad
-Can also generate a default settings file if Canti doesn't know the optimal settings for your particular ereader device
-Any setting can be changed by the user to meet his/her needs

I don't own a Sony ereader and so I haven't personally tested manga produced by Canti on one, but from the tech specs I think this should work for you guys. Read the included readme.txt for installation and usage instructions.

Enjoy and let me know if it works for you

Canti v1.82 is now available for download. Instead of posting the same files in multiple ereader forums, you can download the latest version from this thread:
