Ossu! needs your help! (1st post updated November 14, 2007)

[StrikeFlo]

You're a native speaker in both english and japanese? 

he he, nice nice, as I said it many time, skilled people are always welcome, actually you could be of a great help since mew kinda busy lately.

Of course we'll have to test you, but if you're a native speaker in both langages it's just a formality 

It would be easier if you could come talk to me directly on irc (but then we'll have to be there at the same time...) If you can't, we'll deal with it by mail or pm.

yeah, people that can take more job is always welcome, specially since I'm going to be busy every week with programming homework ?? , this is what you get when your Lab partner sucks, you end up doing all the work

How about I help you with your homework? :D

[ddadain]

cough... i signed up just because I saw someone say "QCing is a useless job and is just an excuse to get the scanlation early >_<" MUKHYAAAAAAA! 

HELL NO!

That was incredibly insulting statement. INSULTING.

Look at what happens if you don't have a QCer ._. You end up with "Your-Mom's Code Geass Release"

& a shout out to ossu!

Oh, if you guys still need a QCer, I can do it Asakura already invited me a long time ago... like 4-5 months ago XD

I don't want to QC the test because I hate To-LOVE-Ru and do not know anything about the characters or is very interested in knowing them A good QCer is someone who has a good grasp on the character-to-character dynamics of the manga he/she's assigned to. Doing anything you're not "into" will only produce substandard work.

Past blah groups:

- F-M
- Shiraku
- Isane (still in)
- For my personal releases

If you can give me a script of something else, I might do that I just really... REALLY... hate TLR 

[StrikeFlo]

I already answered that QC was needed... for the QC job, if lb keeps on QCing for us we don't need someone new.

[DarKraD]

what positions r still open i want to help right now I'm practicing typesetting and cleaning
my first try is...


and the raw is

oh i did not do the translation btw...

[StrikeFlo]

we can still take some more cleaners as long as they're skilled... but from that page I can tell you're not ready yet.

You don't fill all the blacks and you blur some parts (and I don't like pages all blurry) Oh and for the typesetting, keep in mind that the text must fit in the bubble, on that page, the text is too big and barely fits inside. It's not a problem if the size looks smaler than the japanese characters.

[DarKraD]

maybe i should have kept it as png file... and thanks for the advice i just started cleaning... woops i left a bubble blank... i must have forgotten to tick back the view...

ok i fixed it i think...

[Lord_Mew]

looks better

[StrikeFlo]

If you want me to look at this as a test for what you can do, you have to first save it with a height of 1100px.

Next, I still see white dots in the black areas, there's still the blurry parts, some places seem to have been overburnt and other could have been burnt a little more (but with the small size of your page I can't really tell for sure)

If you want to see what you're lacking, pick a random page from a raw chapter of Mx0 that we already released, try to do it without looking and then compare.

                              ?

[StrikeFlo]

*ouch* some people may like that blurry things, but not me...
tones are not supposed to be some grayish areas, not like that at least.
The big blacks areas are indeed black but some black lines are gray and barely visible.

To join ossu you must forget that blurring filter and work only with levels, brushs, and eventually burn and dodge if you know how to use it properly.

edit: and clone tool of course.

[DarKraD]

okay well I'll just practice some more

May I ask a question... Is it because I have bad eyes but how do you see those details?

[Lord_Mew]

mark of the trade, we all have special vision goggles that allows us to see those details

just messing with you, I guess he did some zoom in, and after all those doted backgrounds are ussually separated spots
