Vertical scroll comics question

Actually, I’ve just seen that it would have to be the first as it seems you can’t change the format within an already existing series.

Hi Alex, yes you cannot publish a comic in two different formats within the same series right now. You would have to create a new series.

Thanks Nen - I’ve just done that and put ‘vertical scroll’ after the comic to show it’s a different edition

Some additional advice for your vertical scroll Alex, get it sliced. I recommend using this slicer: https://knicknic.github.io/croppy/. A sliced comic gives you more meaningful data and allows us to properly understand if someone enjoyed your comic or just randomly stumbled on a chapter of yours

Hi Nen, I put the first episode up as a single .jpg (around 30,000 pixels high I think). Are you saying it would be better to upload separate smaller vertical . jpgs? Would they flow like this or would there be gaps for the reader? Many thanks

Yeah in vertical scroll we stitch each image to each other vertically. What I do recommend while slicing is:

1. Don't cut the middle of text or comic panels
2. Keep the resolution of each image as high as you can

Here is an example of what I mean: https://globalcomix.com/c/the-rush-verticals-/chapters/en/1/1

Okay, thanks, I’ll give that a try. Thanks also for the example. I’m guessing that for the most part ‘The Rush’ is one panel per sliced page.

If you open the link for the rush and click the button on the top right of the reader that looks like a couple pages on top of each other. You'll see that the image is split in groups of panels not one panel per sliced page

Thanks Nen, that’s very useful.

Hey folks! really diggin this vertical scroll style.. ( yes Im old and behind the times!) In The example of the Rush comic what is the resolution of the image of Page 3 as an example?
Is there a resource for specs of Verticals?
I usually work in 600 dpi is that too high?
Just trying to get a sense of how this works for the platform.
thanks

@Nen Great thanks Nen
