Comic Resolution?

[SpavVy]

For my comic Soul Ascendance I work on a page at 5197 x 7323 in px and 600dpi (I know this is huge.) Then I save it and make a copy of the page and shrink the copy down to 800x1127 px which is the version I upload online. The bigger versions I keep for printing. I use a big canvas and high resolution because I use Clip Studio for my pages, I don't have anything fancy like photoshop that can easily help with sound effects, so I need to do a little more work like rasterize the text and mesh transformation like stretch it, make it wavy, etc. If I do this at a lower res like 300dpi it will look blurry @_@

Original file: A4 350ppi (2894x4093px) (Default size of Manga Studio. because I'm too lazy to fill the number in myself )
Upload file:resize width to 800px

If it is vertical, I draw and upload 720*1280.
For horizontal, I draw 1280*720 and upload 940*528

I still work at 600dpi despite having a very underpowered computer (a mid-2009 MacBook Pro 13" lolol). If you're finding your computer's struggling at that size, make sure you have all anti-aliasing turned off in Clip Studio Paint (a monochrome canvas). You won't need anti-aliasing at that resolution, it'll happen naturally when you scale the comic down when exporting. #thriftyTips

Hi! I understand this is a very, very old conversation. But I'm a newbie who's found your thoughts helpful so far! I'm not sure if you're working with Clip Studio still, but do you worry at all about bleed/trim/actual working area? I'm a total newbie and those things/their significance if I would ever want to print are a bit scary.

Hi there sorry for the slow response - I don't pay super close attention to the forums these days. The margin settings on CSP are a little bit finicky but here's a screencap of how I have mine currently set up for 11X17 pages.

Welcome to the community - and to comic-making in general!

I have different sizes for different panel layouts. I'm pretty sure most people upload their panels individually, but I don't. My three panel layout is 940 x 3000, and I think I use three panels the most.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share and respond!

I do my comics in Clip Studio Paint as well! I do them in a big canvas 800WidthX6000Height pixels approx (350 Dpi) Although I have tried other layouts. Please not that it's always better to go too big! Rather than to go too small! You can always shrink a big canvas, but you can't enlarge a small one without pixelate it... unless you do high res? Although there is the option of drawing with vector images, but while it might look alright. I don't exactly recommend it... Although it's a option.
Also there are lots of tutorials on youtube for this stuff! I might reccomend some if you want me to?

Also FYI I can also recommend a good cropping website service!
