Cleaning test by Airi

Yea, indeed. Let's think of a good punishment for him.

That is no good, partner!

kk, here're the things I spotted:

- you forgot to level the pages^^
- apart from the leveling the first 6 pages look good!
- you tend to leave a small line (probably just 1-2px wide) between the jointed pages. e.g: double-trouble2. Don't forget to clean it out.
- the joint on double-trouble1 looks good apart from kurosuke's right arm. Try to make the change softer.
- double-trouble 2's good except the thin gray line in the middle of the page
- double-trouble 3's a really difficult page. Try to solve the thing about the fuzziness. If you want me to help you, just upload the .psd file for me. Then take another look at shinozaki's collar. Try to redraw/stamp/clone the zip. The space above the collar's too white. Make it blacker. This changes will take loads of time! I usually need about 3+ hours for such a page.
- take a close look at the patterns you redrew. The change from the original image to the stamped/cloned part is too harsh. You might have to use a smaller clone area, at least for the beginning. And if nothing helps, try to use the healing tools (hot key: J)

that's it for the moment^^. Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh, I just couldn't write it any better.

good luck and much patience for the changes.

Airi, have Mathi given some Hanagata pages for you to work with yet?

Only 1 page for the test, I guess..

=)

For now, do the changes to the stuff you did out.

I will get Mathi to send the raws to ya. ^.^;

Okie~

I'll start working on them maybe tonight >.>; school, school...

Graaagh.. I give up for double_trouble3 x____x;

Been working on it for hours, but only managed to clean the joint part. :'( I think I need more practice...

Practice does make perfect after all.

Some quick comments that you may get from a QC'er:
bubbelicious-001.png ->
First panel (top right):
* Those bubbles aren't clean. There are still traces of text.
* There's dust in her hair that you haven't cleaned out.
Third panel (middle right):
* There's dust next to the phone.

bubbelicious-002.png ->
There's crap on the left edge of the page; I have no idea where it came fom, but it's bugging me >_<
I think the page could be rotated ever so slightly clockwise, but don't quote me on that. Check with a grid to confirm.
The page is generally overlevelled for blacks. The guy in the tree in panel 3 is blending into his background and the phones just look funky.
Fifth panel (bottom right):
* Dust in the young girl's hair again.
* Left bubble isn't completely clean (check the bottom)

More later.

To tell you the truth, I'm really not concerned. These are all issues that can easily be fixed. You need some practice, but eh, who doesn't? Double pages are a pain in the ass anyway, and those are the sole reason I rarely clean.

Check all your bubbles; not a single one is 100% clean.
Page needs to be rotated.
Crap on the side again...

bubbelicious-004.png
I'm happy to report that all bubbles are clean.
Rotate, rotate, rotate~

cover-005.png
Nothing to report~

double_trouble-001.png
There's still some stuff in both bubbles...
I need to see raws to judge adequately, but I can't tell where the break in pages is (shame on me, good for you~)

double_trouble-002.png
Same comments as above~

crap on the side.....
