whats the size of the page you scanned and is that the size it has to be to be printed?

@Dharkhaze17 : the page panel I use is slightly under 8.5 x 11 - the final comic page is 1/2 that size but since all the inking and tone is laid in at the 4 x 5 size (see the other videos to see why) it effectively works out to be more or less size as. Size as is better, since a pencil line will scan to maybe 5-10px width at 600 dpi (greyscale image) which is easily readable by the eye.

Really great video, I liked how you put the shortcuts keys on the bottom, that was a nice touch.

thanks for comment. Actually the shortcut key recording is an optional function of the screen capture program ishowu; unfortunately, it seems to sometimes not correctly record the shortcut keys. For example the cmd-c and cmd-v for copy and past were recorded as "c" and "v" -- but for the most part the keys were recorded accurately.
