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

[Asakura]

Current active staff:

Scanner: Asakura
Cleaners: eats, StrikeFlo (only temporary)
Translator: StrikeFlo
Translation checker: Lord_Mew
Typesetter: StrikeFlo
Quality assurance: anpan, Loserbait (taking a break right now)


Basically we could use pretty much everyone with l33t skills but right now we really need cleaners able to clean shounen jump scans properly in a decent amount of time (note that shounen jump is a weekly magazine so if you want to be productive, you have to be able to clean one chapter a week.)

Here are some stuff you can use as test:
kefi's test
http://www.kefi.org/forum/index.php?topic=475.0
a page with lots of tones

a page missing a lot of ink (this is from asakura's raws we use)

When you are done, either send an email here:
Ossu.Mx0@gmail.com
or make a post in this thread.
or pm StrikeFlo (either on irc or in the forum)

Hi Asa.

o_o

I registered here ~

Damn, i would like to help, but i do not have any experience in editing and cleaning a scan, dont even know what would be required of a cleaner. -_-;
What exactly do a QC (quality checker?) do? See so that the cleaning and spelling is correct, that there are no strange sentences etc?

Do you have an example of a completely uncleaned and a cleaned page btw? So i can see exactly what you people do when you clean. If you feel like showing me, please use the same page for best effect.

[MisterX]

lol, i'm the same ) I like Mx0, but i dont have any experience in editing, only in cleaning text from bubbles and a little bit experience with clone stamp tool.. so i think i would not be any help

(umm, also, do you ask on mangahelpers.com?)

//edit : well.. i think with some small help, i will be able to do some leveling too..

[Tiojar]

Hey, are you guys still looking for editors for Mx0. I love that manga and instead of waiting i thought i could help out. I already tried my modest skills on the first page of chapter 11:

http://www.sendustojapan.com/raw/tiojar_edit.jpg

It has a unedited one and a edited one by me, side-by-side.

Let me know what you think.

Link doesn't work...

[MisterX]

It does work - just hit enter once more when you get 403

..and WOW! You are awesome - i want to know it too

I just noticed that the image is cut off at the end, which probably leads to error message when you try to look at it. Well I could have expected this because for some reason I have trouble uploading to my host from the computer. I'm working on now. I'll try upload the correct version ones I get my upload working again.

I managed to upload a new version:

http://www.sendustojapan.com/raw/Mx0_c11_001.png

Smaller size and bit-less-glossy then the previous one (also without a unedited one).
For my bad upload, I think there is something wring with my router.

[ChiSon]

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /raw/Mx0_c11_001.png on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

maybe we have different permission level !?fight-to^^

(hopefully the admin can start a new thread .....**)

[Tiojar]

Alright, third attempt, different host.
