A message to the translation group (I ultimately refuse to call it anything other than translation): I suggest you not to upscale the image, edit it in source quality. If you are running anisotropic or any other way to "increase" it's resolution, you can do it on an upscaled version for a maybe better result, but downscale it to original size after. When viewing on a big screen, there is no propper setting for it no to be pixelated: if I say vertical constraint, it's too small to be comfortable; if I say horizontal, the image doesn't actually have 1960px width (it's been upscaled to this size), so it appears pixelated; and if I set original size, it's the same as going horizontal. In general, the less scaling you do the better looking the result will be.

@littleoni There is no upscaling on the image file. This is exactly how the images arrive from amazon.co.jp kindle version which I removed the DRM from in order to edit it. I will consider possibly scaling the images down before release. But no, I didn't purposefully scale them up or anything. Edit: Misread the last portion of your message.

@littleoni, @Moira_: Well, it isn't the scanlators fault. If anything, it is the mangadex-viewer engine, that doesn't offer a "scale to 50% or 67% of image height" option. (On my widescreen "fit to container" and "fit to height" seem to be redundant, but that might be impotent for mobile devices.) But in most cases it isn't necessary as it works fine for most uploads as is. You could still try and request some similar feature in the forum though, if you want.

Edit: The double page option gives a nice scaling imho.

That's surprising. Sure as hell does look scaled, I don't get why would amazon alter the image in any way. In any case, I don't think it's worth tring to figure out the original size and scaling it to that, it's probably better if you leave it as it is.

I'm not sure I'm seeing any pixelation when viewing from a desktop computer with a 1920x1080 resolution screen that is on a 60-70 inch tv. Are you talking about the shading types being used for shadows and other backgrounds? I suspect that is the overlays they use when making manga.

I mean, Persona 3 is really good...so don't worry about it. Rather, thanks for the chapter.
