Question

How do I make paper comics into digital ones?

Community Answer

Make sure you have a camera phone (with an app to edit) or a printer with a scanner. Make sure the paper comic is aligned. For camera phones you can snap a picture of each individual page and send it as a group by email to yourself. Or you can use an app that scans the image for you and combines them into one group (like Camscanner). For a printer with a scanner, you can connect it to your laptop or desktop and scan them individually. A photo editing program can be useful for combining your paper comic into one sheet or multiple.
