I've replaced the strips Revenge of the Red Shadows and The Great Cobra Robbery with new scans.

My original comics had been coloured in with crayon... :. Many thanks to The Kraken Wakes for the loan.

Cheers! I wish we had the original art for that 3D page though.

So very pleased! I've finally managed to fix the 3D pages (after 13 1/2 years of trying)

Jesus H christ they look good. How'd you do that? I will update the datafiles.

Thank you, I'm so happy to have finally done them!

I rescanned them as .TIFF files at 600 DPI, then lightened them from page-grain to white.
Then I added a transparent layer matching the green.
I flattened the image, saved to Greyscale and then lightened the grey all the way up to white.
I darkened the blacks and saved them as .JPGs.

I always thought it would work, but my old scans weren't good enough resolution. Now I want to rescan everything at 600 DPI.....! (no, it's not happening)

Really chuffed as these will now make the cut for the Rising Sun collected editions.

Oh cool, do you still have your raw files for the Colouring Project versions?

Yeah, I do. I replaced a fair bit in them though, so it won't be a simple layer drop. Gotta be done though.
