- Accepted. [StarlightDreams]

I wish to submit my application... retirement is... a tad bit lonely, and I'm so sad that Mai never asked me for help ;_; I also don't mind doing QC // I am fast when it comes to editing as long as i don't HAVE to clean sfx, if i don't then things can go very quickly (: I would also like to become a forum style...person you know, give some color to the world and what not (:

Hi!
Thanks for applying. (:!

Congrats! You pass!
Though there are a lot of things you need to work on that's really essential. xD
- When you clean, each and every page must be put into grayscale mode.
Image -> Mode -> Grayscale (Unless it's a color page, then it goes to RGB like usual).
- Be sure to make sure your screen is calibrated. When you cleaned the bubbles and sides, you used a light gray, be sure to use WHITE. I think it was just because your screen wasn't calibrated right, but it's no big deal, just make sure your color is on #FFFFFF when you're cleaning just regular bubbles. (:
- Also, when you clean, please put your edits on a separate layer. (Like duplicate your background layer and edit on that layer and leave the raw layer on the bottom.)
- Your leveling was off. The blacks should be black, and the whites should be white. For most part, I require all the cleaners to use an adjustment layer to level on, just in case it needs fixing. (: Layer -> Adjustment Layer -> Levels. Though for the most part, you won't need to worry about leveling because I post the levels that need to be used for each project. ^^
- You redraw better than I can. lol

Anyways, congrats!
If you could please register an account on the forum, that'd be great. :'D

Previous Experience (Please list the groups you were in.): None
How long have you been scanlating?: N/A
Why do you want this position? It is a productive use of my time and I have always wanted to try my hand at scanslating.
Test: http://www.mediafire.com/?k1f5fmj6j6tz11y

Fonts Used:
Regular Conversations/Bubbles - Wild Words
SFX "-Stones-" - Stone Hinge
Thoughts - Wild Words #666666
Narration - augie
Small text - Segoe Script
Labels/Background Text - Felt

I'm not entirely sure what classifies as a hard to find font, so I hope these are acceptable.

On page 5, I was unclear as to what "Side comment 1: -Door opens-" meant as well as to where to place it. The latter goes for "SFX 2: -Stones-" as well. I went with my assumptions.

Name: reprove
Previous Experience: 5 Turkish translator groups(now I have my own group > www.skyhighceviri.com < ) and Redhawk, Keishou, Sense-scans(Recently I'm still working for sense-scans)
How long have you been scanlating?: 2 years
Why do you want this position? Actually, I'm too lazy (but motivated) that I even don't want to take the trouble to tset that test, but I've been translating High School for my Turkish group and when I saw that you need typesetter, I said that to myself "Isn't it cheekiness not to help them, man?" And then, I decided on joining you guys. Oh, and while I'm at it, I can only help with typesetting High School because I don't read your other series, unfortunatelly. That's it.
Test: http://www.mediafire.com/?bwqnspi11er2z41

And another thing, as I said before I have a group I have to take care, so sometimes I can be busy with its works. But as long as I have time or in other word when I'm free I'll be helping you (Only for High School :D )

How long have you been scanlating?: Uhh.. the last hour or so? :P
Why do you want this position? Well, I only work weekends so I have a lot of spare time, and I spend a lot of it reading manga online, and I thought, why not use that spare time to help someone? So I thought i'd try your test :D
Test: http://www.mediafire.com/?5j2jc2yykoad7q9
Testv2.0: http://www.mediafire.com/?7cib4pmgkb6drcb

Honestly, I spent most of my time looking for (and failing to find) appropriate fonts. I would list the names of those that I found, but some may be considered... inappropriate D:
I'm a fast learner and could correct any (and prevent future) mistakes easily with just a little advice/guidance! Thank you for taking the time to consider my application =)
