Manga page → character illustrations
Detects every character on a manga page, crops each one and redraws it with Qwen Image 2.1 as a complete illustration with a background, extending the framing naturally and completing what the panel hides.
How to use
1. Manga page: load the page (or a single panel).
2. Detection
- full page (true): best when characters break panel borders or fill the page.
- per panel (false): best for small characters, each one inside its own panel.
3. Characters to find: SAM3 text prompt, max 32 tokens. :N is the maximum detections per prompt and per image (per panel in per-panel mode).
- anime character:8 → everyone
- anime character:1 → the main one in each panel
- blonde girl:1, girl with long black hair:1 → specific characters
4. Detection threshold: raise it (0.6–0.7) to drop background people and slivers; lower it if small characters are missed.
5. Redraw: characters (true) redraws each character; whole panels (false) redraws each panel.
6. Redraw style: pick color or black_and_white. The matching Base prompt always asks for a full background and a natural, wider framing (not forced full body). Refer to the crop as <image1>.
7. Prompt upsampler (off by default): off keeps the redraw closest to the original drawing, with softer colors. On, Qwen3-VL 8B looks at each crop and rewrites the base prompt for it: viewpoint (front / profile / from behind), a color for every element that matches the manga values (solid black hair stays dark, white hair becomes blonde), knee-up or full-body framing, clothing for the hidden lower body, a specific background scene, and removal of sound effects. Its output is shown in Upsampled prompt inside Redraw; edit Upsampler system prompt there to change the rules. Off uses the base prompt as is: faster and more faithful, with weaker colors, and sound effects or back views are handled less reliably.
Character notes: optional, one line per character, starting with how to recognize them, e.g. Girl with long black hair: maid, black dress, white apron or Blonde boy with glasses: student, gakuran uniform. The upsampler applies the line that matches each crop (role, colors, clothing) and ignores the rest; leave it empty to let it decide. With the upsampler off, the notes are appended to the base prompt as is, so keep them to the character(s) on this page; with several characters the model may mix their attributes.
Output canvas: custom size (true) computes the canvas from each crop: crop aspect ratio × Canvas expand (width ×, height ×) at Canvas megapixels, rounded to multiples of 32. Expand 1 / 1 keeps the crop's exact aspect; e.g. height × 1.3 leaves 30 % more room below to complete the figure. Keep megapixels around 1 (Qwen Image 2.1 supports up to ~4). crop size (false) uses the crop's own size, better for whole panels.
8. Run. Crops are saved to output/manga_chars/crop_*, illustrations to `output/manga_chars/
