Re: Mobilize!! Pokémon Ranger scanlation project
nice, so you have the translations? or does Kyla need to translate them?
Re: Mobilize!! Pokémon Ranger scanlation project
As I have said in the e-mails there are complete scanlations and bluesun has translation checked chapter 0-2. He has said that he can continue the translation checking when needed. CodeNora has volunteered to clean the raws. Dreamingflower and LyokoGirl5000 have volunteered to typeset it and petermueller88 and someone who wants to remain anonymous have volunteered to quality check it.
I have sent the unresized raws, Photoshop documents and the uncleaned scanlations to you and the other volunteers a while ago. Look at the e-mail conversation or at the 'Shared with me' section on Google Drive and you will find it.
There are complete scanlations of Mobilize!! Pokémon Ranger, but they were never cleaned and they didn't have the original Japanese dialogue removed, so they got really messy when the English translation was added on top of that. More info is in the first e-mail of the e-mail conversation.

Re: Mobilize!! Pokémon Ranger scanlation project
Damn, the PSDs are resized! I hope that all cleaners are cleaning the original raw scans and not the PSDs, because otherwise it looks like you will have to redo it in the original resolution.
I'm sorry.

Re: Mobilize!! Pokémon Ranger scanlation project
Forcing to resize the PSD files into the original RAW's size will make the quality look so low. I've been planning to use the RAW in the first place, no worry for me.
Edit:
and I realized Mobilize!! Pokemon Ranger is not yet on mangaupdates.

Good.
Yeah, MangaUpdates, Bulbapedia and Dogasu's Backpack all lack a lot of Pokémon manga. There are at least 89 different Pokémon manga series (nobody knows exactly how many there are, except for maybe Shogakukan if even they know it). We will list it on MangaUpdates when we have released chapter 0.
It is listed as Set Out!! Pokémon Ranger on Bulbapedia

Re: Mobilize!! Pokémon Ranger scanlation project
Thanks for the link. I checked Google translate for the name, and it seems to also call it Mobilize! Pokemon ranger.
Re: Mobilize!! Pokémon Ranger scanlation project
I asked the translation checker six months ago what the correct translated name is. He said that both titles are correct, but that he prefers Mobilize since it sounds more fitting in relation to the Ranger organization. I agree with him.

Re: Mobilize!! Pokémon Ranger scanlation project
It's been a while now so I was wondering how this project is going.
Also how do the others/you handle the 'levels'/darkness of the scans or lack of contrast/bad quality? Is it just me, whose biggest issue is the 'level'/lack of contrast?

Re: Mobilize!! Pokémon Ranger scanlation project
CodeNora: Last I heard from her was six weeks ago. I have tried contacting her via two e-mail addresses, her newest deviantART account and her YouTube account, but she hasn't replied. I'm assuming that she isn't as interested in this project as she was when she volunteered up for it.some wrote:It's been a while now so I was wondering how this project is going.
The Usagi Mitchell: Chapter 2 has been cleaned and QCed. The QC still needs to be implemented.
XmavisX: Chapter 3 is in progress.
I have never cleaned or typeset anything in my life. The only thing I can do is some basic image editing and make fancy staff emblems. You will have to ask the other cleaners that.some wrote:Also how do the others/you handle the 'levels'/darkness of the scans or lack of contrast/bad quality?

Actually I was hoping they'd give an answer here.Manga Reader X wrote:You will have to ask the other cleaners that.
May I have a look at at least one of the cleaned chapter 2 scans? This might be a huge help as well.
What'll happen to chapter 0 then for the time being?Manga Reader X wrote:Last I heard from her was six weeks ago.
Re: Mobilize!! Pokémon Ranger scanlation project
Yeah, they will probably see it here sooner or later. I was just saying that I can't personally instruct you how to clean this.some wrote:Actually I was hoping they'd give an answer here.Manga Reader X wrote:You will have to ask the other cleaners that.

I'll send you every cleaned scan I have of Mobilize.
I think I will assign chapter 0 to another cleaner soon if CodeNora doesn't respond.
Dreamingflower, could you tell Nora this via tumblr?

Re: Mobilize!! Pokémon Ranger scanlation project
Vsyoravno has agreed to debind her magazines and rescan the whole thing to PNG-files at 300 DPI, which should make the cleaning a lot easier. However, she said that it will probably be about a month because the magazines are in storage and she has to look for them.
Here are some other magazine RAWs that she has scanned, so that you get an idea of the quality she scans in (though the paper quality of the magazines varies a lot):
http://jb2448.info/Pokemon_Ranger_Manga/The_1st_Mission/RAW
http://jb2448.info/Pokemon_Ranger_Manga/Top_Ranger/RAWs
http://jb2448.info/Pokemon_Ranger_Manga/Hero_of_Oblivia/RAW
Now there's the question what we should do with the scans that are already cleaned. I know that at least some has gotten quite far with chapter 1. Would the quality differ much between the cleaned version you are working on right now and a version cleaned from debound magazine RAWs? And which would be faster and easier? Finishing the version based on non-debound RAWs or starting over with debound RAWs?
And how is it going for you Striker?

Re: Mobilize!! Pokémon Ranger scanlation project
Like I said I lost the files somehow( I blame my family I never delete important files ever) and looked for them up until a few days ago. Today I was going to get the files again and try to redo them and get to where I was previously.

Re: Mobilize!! Pokémon Ranger scanlation project
Wow that's good news!
This should be A LOT easier to clean. (Though the scans are sometimes a little bit dark, but god I don't really want to whine about that)
Yes, the quality would differ noticeably. And although my previous efforts would be in vain, I'd prefer starting over with debound RAWs, because the results would be better and they're easier to handle (and it might be even faster).

Sound's good. And the RAWs will be dark no matter how they are scanned since they are from cheap junk magazines with shitty paper quality. (Some magazines even recycle paper by blending the paper with red dye to save some money which results in even more horrible paper quality, just look at this shit). My guess is that the scans are pretty close to what the original pages look like when it comes to darkness.some wrote:Wow that's good news!
