Like the proverbial citrus-based octo-phoenix of yore, Pulpo flies again!
William Duel and I are putting together a new Pulpo. We've already reached out to a few people (both old-school and new) to gauge interest and are now ready to invite everyone to participate. See full details below.
If you plan to contribute, please let us know by sending an email to pulpo@ enterVOID.com. We'll check in periodically with contributors to make sure things are progressing. That email address can also be used for any questions you may have, though we're both reachable on other platforms as well.
Let's get started!
Details:

For those of you using Clip Studio Paint/Manga Studio 5 but can't figure out how to set up your page size for this, here are my settings that I'll share with you all:

Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for sharing your tip Jackster. Ill share it on social media as well.

I went and added a template for all of you Clip Studio Paint users.

Another note when converting your pages in Clip Studio Paint. As stated in the first post, the color profile must be in CMYK FOGRA39.
To do that, go to File>Preferences, then go to Color Conversion, and make sure the CMYK profile is selected to this:

If you're using the EX version, go to your Page Manager (by going to Story Menu>Page Manager), then go to File>Export multiple pages>Batch export. The dialog should be like this:
(https://i.imgur.com/npx0I91.jpg)
I'm not sure of the file format for this book will be, but choose either JPEG or TIFF. PNG will not work because it's a RGB-only format.
Page range must be selected to All, and if your comic contains a two-page spread, then Export Spread Separately must be checked.
For CSP Pro users, just go to a page in your comic and go to File>Export (Single Layer)>JPEG or TIFF. Do this method for all of your pages.
Next step are the settings based on the file format you've selected. If it's JPEG, it must look like this:
(https://i.imgur.com/yN5fZQK.jpg)
If it's TIFF, it must look like this:
(https://i.imgur.com/5vb540r.jpg)
Only difference is the JPEG quality must be at 100!
If your comic has fonts in it, then Text must be checked in Output Image (leave anything else unchecked). Leave Output range at Full page.
The expression color must be selected to CMYK (which uses the color profile you set up in Preferences). Output size must have Scale ratio from original data checked with the size at 100.00%. For Process when scaling, I just recommend For Illustration selected.

Jackster, you're the absolute best!
