Cropping Larger Pages to Fit the PSP

A larger comic page can sometimes be cropped into smaller sections.

If you want to get more elaborate in your efforts to make your comic readable on the PSP, you can think about cutting the pages up into smaller pieces, if your panel arrangement allows. The comic I've been using as a sample, for instance, was originally a full-size comic. Because I was doing it for a 24-hour comics challenge, I chose a simple 6-panel grid for each page (except the very last), so it was easy to cut it up into 2-panel sections that could fit the PSP's screen. Don't worry too much if you can't divide your pages up, though. The PSP does have the ability to pan and scroll and ozone images; your readers will just have to work a little harder.
