Full disclosure - in some blurred, drugged out yuri haze, I thought I got the raws for this project here. If I did, I can't find the project page any more. Maybe it came from the gaping abyss that is /u.

Very nice, thanks! I don't have Photoshop, I use Affinity Photo. So the SFX doesn't quite translate the same. It looks the same as in release but I can't see how it's styled nor see the fonts. Each letter ends up being its own pixel layer :/ It's not a big deal. I have an idea of how you did some of it.

At least, I was able to see the fonts of the dialogues, most of which I did not have. It was quite the journey to try to find the free versions of most of the fonts so that they show up properly in Affinity. Though, in Photopea, the fonts show up properly even if I don't have them installed. So that was pretty neat.

I am super curious how you did the "roar" on page 485. Like how did you do the vertical line bit?

>> No.26067

Ah, yeah! Having a different editing program will definitely make our processes a lot different, unfortunately. The sound effects are pixel layers as they're all handwritten with a drawing tablet. Some of effects on the letters, like the splatter effect on the "groooowl", or the white/black mix effect on the "slash", are done with photoshop tools. The former being mezzotint coarse dots applied to the layer then erasing some, while the latter I just stole from the original, cleaned it up a bit, and put a pattern overlay.

Regarding the fonts--I would recommend joining the "Scanlation School" and the "Font Recommendations" discords. They have copies of pretty much any comic book font you could want. Let me know if you need links.

The lines on the roar were also just hand drawn. There may be a more intuitive way to do it, but I just went through and did each line separately. If that's not an option, it may be more effective to steal parts of the original to place atop your SFX. That effect has always been pretty tricky to recreate.

Wow, that's some advanced editing right there, and it definitely paid off!

Here's what it looks like.

File: upside down tag qc 2.txt -(2351 B, 0x0) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size.

I've got a few suggestions for lines, boke, if you want to go over them and decide which to change.

>> No.26048  
File: Seesaw Game Ch1 QC2.txt -(1405 B, 0x0) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size.

Here is another round of suggestions.

I've kept my pointed suggestions here minimal, and indeed I think they are the bare minimum for the chapter to reach a releasable state. I've opted against a more expansive QC for obvious reasons. I will say that you should review this chapter, look for all the bubbles with expressive fonts, and look to reflect that in your version.

While I can understand the argument of effort vs end results, I think you've fallen short of where you should be in this regard. When you refuse to do even basic redraws or font changes for expressive bubbles, you're doing a disservice both to the work itself and to the translator. Doing these things are not high effort, nor are they minute details—they're basic tasks that should be required of an editor.

It is ultimately schuyguy's decision on whether a work is fit for release, but if the recommendations I've given are too much work for you, consider contacting boke privately to release outside of the group. You can also work on /u/, which has little to no QC requirements. While we do not insist on professional or high quality releases, we do aim for it, and work to help each other improve. To welcome a refusal to put effort in would reflect poorly on all of us involved in this work, and on the group as a whole.

Regardless of what you decide, I will leave my involvement here. I think our attitudes toward scanlating are fundamentally incompatible. While I take no issue with a lack of experience or knowledge in this field, I do take issue with a refusal to do what I see as the bare minimum. If doing the series justice is not worth your time, then twisting your arm to make it releasable is not worth mine.

>> No.26051  

>>26048
To be clear, I've not refused to do anything you've said. I've made all the changes you requested up until now, including running through waifu2x and everything in the first QC doc. I've also said that I would be willing to read your recommendations on fonts, shaping, etc. you offered in your last post.

I am only honest in what I think and what my capabilities are. I should be able to state my opinion on any matter even if I've then deferred to everything you've then asked for after explaining your own. That you think I'm denying or refusing anything you say is, I think, misunderstanding, and I'm sorry for any part I might have had in it.

The only thing I have said I cannot do is complete redraws. Clone stamps (which I have done plenty on on this chapter) are the most I can do. I am not an artist and I cannot completely re-draw a character's hair or arms where it never even existed before.
If that is necessary then I will not continue on the project if it does not meet the set standards.

I've attached my PSDs for what I've had up through the first QC in case they will be useful to anyone down the line.

I'd like to apologize to you both, this dispute seems like a result of me being unclear what's expected for releases. One the one hand, we want the releases to look as good as possible, but on the other, we're all volunteers, and we're all amateurs. For my part, I can read Japanese pretty well, but I'm not fluent, so I know make mistakes, I know my translations could be better. And I know editing and QC both can take a lot of time and effort. At the end of the day, we just want to be able to share this manga with English readers.

I will release this chapter whenever you feel you've done what you can. Please continue to edit this series, if you still want to.
