Well I'll look forward to what comes out of it, hopefully somebody more into things like this can comment as well. :)

I saw something before that did what I think you are trying to do. It was a hentai image gallery where users could overlay translations on top of the images. I can't remember where it was though.

That would be nice. When you scan something information is lost and each time they are lossly compressed information is lost. If you can avoid re-compressing the image, the end result will be nicer.

Sankaku Complex's imageboard does this; I would provide a link, but, y'know, boobs and loli tits and vaginas everywhere.


I was about to suggest that you hack on Comix, rather than starting from scratch (NIH, anyone?), but it appears to be for UNIX-like OSs only, which I assume is not your target platform.  Python, PIL and PyGTK are all cross-platform, though, so it (theoretically) shouldn't be too hard to port.  I'd be interested in helping if you chose this route.

I'm a games programmer with over 20 years experience, and wanted to learn C#, so I am using XNA. I've got a basic viewer working already, it handles directory of images, zip or rar files and uses 3D card and shaders to apply real time contrast / brightness / gamma correction to the image as well. It uses the same keys as CDisplay, although those will be possible to change. It also correctly handles zip files with MacOS files in them (CDisplay normally crashes on these).

One other thing that can be added is the ability to flip the image so it can be read left to right as well, so that could be an option for some people to read it in modified format or original format.

Oh, something to consider outside of the scanlation portion. History of files read. It is nice to be able to read 3-4 series and just jump right back at the correct point using the reader itself. Though that might be a bit much, just a history over last read files that you can increase to x amount would be a feature I at least used. If you don't want history, then set it to 0 or disable.
