Sorry, I couldn't help on that since I don't use Photoshop. >.>
:) thx for helping me moving this thread
Don't worry, it's supposed to look jagged at 200% and up. Photoshop doesn't actually use vectors, but vector masks... I'm not really sure how to explain masks, but the point is that it behaves like a bitmap image instead of a vector one, and therefore will lose quality when zoomed in/resized.
Whether or not you use illustrator or photoshop to color depends on what effect you're trying to get.

(o.o) but it is good to make larger image resolution and then save at a lower resolution image?then the dpi,use larger dpi?or lower?usually almost all image save at 72dpi or 96dpi,and i dunoe how much dpi i should use.
Always work larger than the final product. I don't know about manga, but American comics are drawn about 3 times larger than what gets printed. Not only will the quality of the artwork diminish if you enlarge it, but scaling down gives the illusion of more detail.
Don't worry about dpi if you're just doing everything on computer and have no intention for printing. =] (that's like... uh... me. lol)
But when you're scanning something in to work on in a computer, try to scan it at very high levels of dpi like 300 or even so it'll be bigger on screen. (My camera is set to 314 dpi, but you're not supposed to scan things with cameras... >_>)

haha...ok..thx for your great help :)
FYI, I think Manga are drawn at somewhere between 1.5 and 2 times the original size.
You can colour it in Illustrator as well if you want but depends on what kind of colouring you want to do, as you are more limited in what you can do compared to photoshop
As said before it will generally look jagged at 200% but you can more or less overcome that by making it larger in Illustrator before importing it into photoshop thus giving you more free range, wont make it less "jagged-looking" but the larger you make it, the more chance to get proper detail so that when you scale it down to the size you want, the better it'll look
o.o,just that larrger resolution mean more lagger since my computer not high performance
