Procrastination is easy with Photoshop

[random_truffle]

So I should be scanning, cleaning, organizing crap for taxes, [insert productive action here], but I don't wanna. So I played around in photoshop. Yay!

Thank you!

I love your color bars! Especially sexy Iogi-san *_*
I'll credit you, when I use it. I tried to make some color bars too, but my work looks boring for me :D And I've got headache from it :D

I love Iogi! I'll probably end up doing pairing colorbars for Iogi/Shirasaka and Tamiya/Shirasaka too. There are way too many lovely scenes in vol. 2 that I can't pass up. XD

I always like the colorbars made by other people. I don't know why. It must be that whole sandwich thing. Same ingredients, but always tastes better made by someone else. The trick with the colors is photo filter in the image adjustment section of photoshop. It gives you a lot more control over the colors compared to color balance.

*raises hand* I like the younger, honest seme myself ^^ but I'll admit the older one does have a few good points.
All of your color bars look great ^^ Zess.... *drools*....
I'm so bad at making them >_> I never know what images or what colors to use.

I have a few quick questions on Junjyou Karen. Is the series finished yet, how many volumes, and do you know if there are raws floating around? I've been obsessed with the series lately, but there really isn't too much information on it.

You! This is all your fault. You mentioned Junjyou Karen to me and now I'm addicted.^^ Must...find...raws... I can't even find the tankoubon to buy. :(

XD I just always fall for the bastards. Although I do love Tamiya. I love all 3 guys. That's pretty much standard for me with love triangle manga.

I always saw colorbars on people's LJ. It's like the only place they show up and fell in love with the concept. The program I had before photoshop was really limited on the colors you could change b/w to though.

Junjyou Karen is complete at vol. 2. I've yet to see raws floating around, but I just bought my own copy and have plans to scan it. However, I'm so procrastinating on scanning. I really want to see scanlations finished for it. Since I can follow with my limited Japanese, but Mieko Koide always has awesome lines and inner thoughts.

You are GOOD! *wipes drool off keyboard*

[random_truffle]

XD thanks. I wonder how many computers are fried by yaoi due to excessive drool/nosebleed accidents?

[animemetoo]

I dunno but I think that's my 4th keyboard to replace this month alone! *snicker*

I'm really behind on the Junjyou Karen. I just heard about it last week lol. But now I'm in love. I was trying to find it in a couple of Japanese bookstores and couldn't. How many tankoubon are in the series? I can't find it at any of the usual Japanese stores I use.

Oh man, I've been hooked for so long and SL just disappeared at a major cliffy. So I finally couldn't take it and bought the damn volume. Glad I did, it's so awesome. There are 2 volumes in total. Scanlations got to the first chapter of vol. 2. I'll be scanning it sometime in the near to far off future. XD

[sunflower1343]

I found both volumes at bk1 tonight. I have better luck finding popular volumes in stock there, I think because there's no English on the site so most Americans don't shop there. So Hopefully I'll have it in a couple of weeks. ^_^

I think you'll love it. Iogi really pulls at my heartstrings the angsty bastard. XD \

I'm totally up for scanning/editing it if I can find a translator. Once the yd scanlation thing gets sorted out, I'll bring it up then. I don't think SL will ever finish it. Polluxa was the translator and I remember reading that she quit the group even before their site went down. I really miss them, they rocked.
