JDM shop manuals. photoshop help required.

[misterfixit]

Hi All, have a pretty comprehensive set of shop manuals for the galant. here are some covers from the more obscure. my collection is by no means complete, but i'd like to share them in some archive format that all can see. However I'd like to emboss the pages with a logo that will render them un ebayable.

Here are the jdm 4g6 shop manual (this is 88.7) i have the updates that cover the amg and the rs as well.



heres the jdm trans manual



here's the effect i am trying to achieve.



Taken from oople .com

Have much cool stuff but i want to lock it down before sharing it. (the trans manual was $65! the engines was $80...

Let me see if the girlfriend can help, she does a lot of digital watermarks for her modeling photos. Come to think of it, I think she might use a program made just for watermarking.

If your going to put them in a format that is universal just use Adobe PDF. If you just want to do watermarking, just go download BIMP Lite (Batch Image Processor). It will let you do text watermarks and its free.

I will eventually get them back into pdf. but the watermarkhas to be emblazened across each page, i'll have a look at bimp lite and see what that does.

I checked with the girlfriend and she uses Watermark Pro to do all of her photos.

I've got this page earmarked. This is really opening up my eyes to the overseas market for shop manuals. We don't hear about many guys getting the factory manuals over there for some reason.

Right peeps,

I've finally got this watermark thing working!! Here's the cover off the trans manual.



Got it locked down.. All the pages have the galantvr4.org logo faded into the background. they are all images with the watermark mixed in. and the pdfs. are protected. I'm sure once hosted it won't be long before they on ebay from some scum, but i hope they'll remain free and accessible for all and a testemony to this great site and community.

now here comes the bit i have no idea about, i need someone to set up an area with a contents page. I also need to know wo to send the files to . they are all good quality, (the trans book is 108 pages and 48mb).

I'll do the homologation papers next.

Here's the manual list (scanned);
JDM trans 4wd vcu (covers switchable tranny)
JDM trans 4AT.

Awesome! I'd like to say it would be perfect to have them in the how-to section, but that seems like it would require a lot of bandwidth...

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/applause.gif You, sir, are awesome!

 

[Hertz]

We have lots of bandwidth.

Do you know how to FTP? I can set you up so that you can send the files directly into the board.

 

[misterfixit]

That would be ideal!

pm me the info i need and i'll spoon them up. can a library page be set up to link to them?
