Thank you wow!!!! I read everything on a 12.9 iPad pro using Chunky for
the old stuff and Comic Zeal for new stuff. Chunky has the ability to
whiten pages, sharpen and add a bit of contrast. Your work on this book
looks fantastic!!!! I'm pretty good with Photoshop, I'm willing to
help. If you want to tell me which books to work on. All-Stars is my
favorite GA book...
