Nakitaninja Posted March 9, 2011 This post is (in part) a continuation of the wonderful Ms. Mitsuki's 'Make You Own Dollfie Dream Compilation' Thread. (http://www.dollfiedreams.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=203)I loved the idea but what if your girls get tired of reading the same thing? I used the same resolutions and size with high quality manga scans & mad photoshop skillz to create a partial library. ^^ I'd like to actually make some manga pages so check back soon! If you print these out I'd laminate them with packing tape too for a 'glossy' magazine look. Just follow the directions on the Dollfie Compilation page and you should be good to go! Also if you have any special requests for certain manga or other publications I can do my best to photoshop one for you. Just ask in this thread or PM me. ^^ I hope you have fun making these and I hope other people add their own book creations to this thread. I think my girls will be checking out the 'pin-up' 'zine first. Speaking of.... I should find a Kamina centerfold for Billy's Yoko....mwhahahahahaa...

baldylox Posted March 10, 2011 I really need to quit looking online when my daughters are in the room. I now have to make like FOUR books thanks to you! Manami wants the book with the big wine bottle on it, Yoko wantes just the Kamina centerfold, Mai wanted the Ya Ya one and Miyuki wanted the pink one with the cute girls on the front. Rei was upset there were no book covers with Mecha or Electronics on them. Poor girl... I'll be saving these and trying them out this weekend if I get time. Hopefully I can make these look nice! Thanks for the extra scans! Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baldylox Posted March 10, 2011 I love Rei! There should be whole books with just Rei. I so agree with you! Rei is such an awesome girl. And I just saved that cover picture too. Looks like all my daughters will have their own books to read soon! Thanks Mitsuki, I appreciate you looking out for Rei!

mitsuki Posted March 10, 2011 That is hilarious about Manami wanting the book with the big wine bottle on it! Tell Miyuki I like PitaTen too. That is so cute that Mai wanted the Ya Ya one and Yoko wanted the Kamina centerfold. Rei is so adorable. I wouldn't want her to feel left out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baldylox Posted March 11, 2011 Such cool images! I love the Yoko one! Sadly, I tried to print some of these today and I cannot get them the right size. My printing program or whatever it is only gives me sizes to print as photo sizes... like 4x6 or 5x7 or wallet sizes. It will not print at this scale at all. I have no computer technique at all so I don't really know what program I am using to print nor do I have any clue as how to resize these to print properly. Sigh. I hate being so technically dumb.... Oh well, I shall sit back and enjoy seeing the images here anyways. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Billy If you ever feel like trying again, it sounds like you have a printer preference set where the image attempts to fit itself to the page or to some preset specified size, which, let's face it- you're going to use that 99% of the time. (???) I'm guessing you'd want to select something that allows the image to be printed at actual size or native resolution. Of course I don't know your set up but I will always try to help you out any way I can if you feel like throwing out more information. ^^ You're not dumb, computers are confusing... ESPECIALLY printing and resolution issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ESPECIALLY printing and resolution issues. I actually tried a trick Mitsuki suggested and opened the images in Paint. Then she said it should print to the correct size. So Iwent in there, opened it up and then printed it out.... full page yet again. I then went back and tried to use the "resize" option. All that did was print a full page at a more fuzzy resolution. Mitsuki is going to print some for me when she gets some freetime and then send them to me via Snail Mail. Mitsuki is so awesome..... she is my "DD Angel Of Giving".

mitsuki Posted March 12, 2011 That's so nice of you to say that, Baldylox. I think I am also your "angel of enabling..." You need more daughters... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted March 12, 2011 That's so nice of you to say that, Baldylox. I think I am also your "angel of enabling..." You need more daughters... You deserve the accolades Mitsuki! You are the most giving person I know in this hobby. You're always extending a helping hand even to total strangers. That's pretty much how we met in the first place.... with you helping me get a laptop from the American Girl store. And yes, you *are* my "Angel of Enabling" as well. You enabled me to get Mai and you are helping me with my next project too. So the reason I can't pay bills or eat properly is all on you. Thank you tho, I needed to be on a diet anyways....

mitsuki Posted March 12, 2011 Thank you, Baldylox! I will send you more cookies then. But then maybe you won't get any because Manami will eat them all and that won't help with your food supply. Your letter is in the mail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted March 13, 2011 Thank you, Baldylox! I will send you more cookies then. But then maybe you won't get any because Manami will eat them all and that won't help with your food supply. Your letter is in the mail. You know me and my daughter TOO well! Manami can smell cookies before I even get in the door! But she loves your cooking so she gets extra excited when you send us goodies. Yay for cookies! Thank you for sending the letter. I will let you know when it arrives!

OtakuDepot Posted March 14, 2011 I recently got my Dollfie Dream Compilation and was planning on making the little magazine for my girls but I didn't think of creating their own manga collection - So cool!!! I wanted to point out that if someone creates their own images to print it's a good idea to adjust the DBI (dots per inch) to get a better looking image. Most internet images use 72 dpi but changing the image to something like 240-300 dpi can give you a much better quality image. Most image editing programs should give you the option to do this somewhere. I've never tried printing something this small at 72 dpi so it may look fine. It can be more of an issue when printing larger images.

AnnePecaro Posted June 5, 2015 I know this thread is going on *coff coff* four years old...so this is a terrible long shot....but the links are broken. Does anyone know where the files might live now, or IF they even exist anymore? Just a noob over here, perusing through the backlog of DD stuff Doll Stop Motion Films! and Doll Collecting Vlog!
