Beginners Cleaning?

[CrabMan]

This post is about cleaning manga. Its from the prespective of myself and in general beginning cleaners.

Firstly, let me say that tutorial in the forums here was an excellent start for me (thanks geisha).

So, there is something harder about cleaning raws than I previously anticipated. This may happen to other people too, but I haven't been able to settle on a method that can quickly clean pages. The dot printing method used by the manga printing presses comes through so clearly in scans, that it makes representing shades extremely hard to preserve. I've tried bluring, filtering, levels, and just about everything else, but nothing I do seems to preserve the artists intended shading...

I'm beginning to think that to do any manga's scans justice, it would be necessary to take an extensive amount of time on each cell, basically redrawing and lining absolutely everything, 1 by 1. Its hard to imagine being able to keep up with a scan group at that time consuming pace, but obviously people do it right? How else do you explain major manga's being released weekly and often less than a day after their release in asia?

I'd just like to help, but wow! You cleaners have my respect!
