thankssss very much..

Hi atay23! Thanks for your application! We really apreciate it ^^

Yeah, what I will say next is a copypaste from other application thread I answered before, but it's perfect for people that want to start from 0 :

I suggest you to download photoshop first:

Photoshop CS3: *http://www.4shared.com/dir/OJ7tdU2G/Photoshop.html

[the executable is divided in 5 parts]. It doesn't include crack/keygen, sorry

Photoshop CS5: *http://www.4shared.com/file/yZ0YcdKR/PhotoshopCS5.html


Personally, I use photoshop CS3 (because I have a crappy PC with little memory), and the link provided for it was from MY photoshop, so you don't have to worry about viruses and such. However, CS5 is the last version, and it was given to me by a dear friend (but I haven't installed it yet because I don't know if my PC will be able to handle it), I also think its already cracked (always talking about CS5).

You will also need Topaz Denoise and Neat Image.

Serial for Topaz: *http://www.mediafire.com/?lvmvn38z6hgl5qa

Neat Image: *http://www.4shared.com/file/NjN04KRm/neatimage52.html

All the files provided are from my computer, so again, don't worry about malicious software

After you have downloaded the required software for cleaning, please read the tutorial in the link max provided, and after that, this one:

This is a more advanced cleaning tutorial, made by one of the old pro's of FH, about how to clean in HQ. Obviously, you don't have to actually clean anything in HQ (we don't clean in HQ after all), but I learned all the cleaning basics from there, and so that's why I really recommend it.

After that, pick any raw page you like, clean it and then post your results here. I will check it when you finish. I suggest you to download any psyren chapter from Vicissitude from Raw Distro, but you will need IRC to do so. If you don't have it, then I will upload a raw chapter for you.


Also, answering what you asked: a cleaner is someone that takes the "raw manga page" (a RAW is the scanned page of the magazine. It looks just like a newspaper page) and edits it in order to end up with those sexy black and white pages :p It's not that hard when you learn how to do it xD

A Typeseter is someone that takes the cleaned page and puts the text in the bubbles (where the japanese text used to be).

A Translator is someone that translates the japanese text into english.

And a Proof-reader is someone that takes the translator's script and makes changes to it, corrects mistakes and such.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon!

ill practice this weekend...
