Streamline should work.

Try following the suggestions in this article by Dave Bastian with Terry Colon of Suck.

Basically, the process is sketch, scan, trace, clean, colour, save.

i have done a similar thing before jack (at least i hope it's similar to yours otherwise this is meaningless). i used photoshop and it worked very well but there was a lot of undoing and trying things out and i'm an experienced PShop user. you need to Select > Color Range, put the dropper on the colour you want to mangatise, one by one, and despeckle, blur etc that way, but i wouldn't relish the prospect myself as it takes time - there is no ONE tool you can use to achieve waht you're after as far as i know (i dont use fireworks tho)

bon chance

Oh, thanks Justin. Well, does a Gaussian blur do what you want?

Manga Art looks like this: http://www.mangaart.com

So you're looking for a program that smoothes out the edges for you, jackchen? The only program I know of that does that is Streamline, which isn't working for you. The only other thing I can suggest is using Adobe Illustrator and drawing your comics in that. It automatically straightens and smoothens out the lines for you.

huh?

What does 'manga-like' mean??
