This wallpaper gives us a perfect example of how a simple manga scan can be turned into a beautiful vector. Not only did danalm trace the lineart, but he also added amazing details and a simple, yet wonderful background. Furthermore, the wallpaper shows us how the monochromatic style can make your work look really interesting.

You copy and paste your new font to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts folder, or other drives you installed windows, the font will be installed then. Restart your PS to load the font.

if using Mac, copy and past it to home/Library/fonts 0_0 not sure, guess you are not using it anyway...

your scan need to be re-size first.

go PS , select Image - Image Size (alt+ctrl+I), UNcheck the constrain proportions option, change its height to 750 or something you like....

then you need to extract the character or vectorize them.... guess you can find tons of good Tutorials at Google ^ ^

Thank you for the help!! XD
and about the extraction of the scan, yes, i already extracted it alredy, but as you see, in the fullsize of the scan. you can observe that there is an image at the back part of the scan. like if the scan is at page 1 then the other image at the back page or page 2 can be seen. the problem is that, the image can be seen inside the characters. T-T. yeah im trying to search now. thanks a lot!
i only have 1 and half hour to finish the wall. hope i can make it. XD

Yah..I can see that too..hhmm..I think the solution to your problem there is vectoring it..I think it should..hehe..
I think your question about cleaning haven't answered yet well..let me do it...the first thing you should do is duplicate the scan...it should be extracted I mean...then after duplicating..on the upper duplicate go to filter>noise>median>5px...after that change the blending mode of that scan that has been filter to overlay and in the below scan change the blending moed to lightnen then merge the layer..and wahhhhlaa! that's all..if it is too bright just adjust the brightness and contrast to it...good luck!

Smart blur can also be used to clean a scan
