We need to clean those pages. Anyone who volunteers would help us greatly to speed up the typesetting progress and shorten the release span!

What do I need to do?

The first thing I tell my cleaners and typesetters to change is the image from GRAYSCALE mode to RGB mode. Because in GRAYSCALE mode the images look ugly and every attempt resize the image will end up in an extraordinary quality loss rendering all the cleaning work useless. So make sure to use RGB!

- Use your Photoshop skills to delete all speech, advertising and dust particles – (If they only contain “!” or “?” you can leave them as they are)
- Do NOT delete empty bubbles which contain only “!” or “?” or sound effects but DO delete embedded text¹
- Save all pages as PSD files (also the pages without text or cleaning)
- Upload your cleaned PSD files on Megaupload.com and post it on our Romepage (Short registration is required).

The GOAL is to let the readers focus on the English translation without being distracted by noise or Japanese text.

Here are the raws. The enumeration of those raws are a little confusing because Eden’s pilot chapter was actual a double chapter and is counted in the tank raws as 1 (ONE) chapter while in the magazine it was counted as 2 single chapters. So if the magazine raws says ch107, it’s actually ch106 in the tank and ch108 is actually ch107 and so on. Our group sticks to the tank numberation. So if we say all chapters starting from chapter 107+ (magazine) are to be cleaned, it will be released as chapter 106+ (tank).

Eden Volume 16 chapter 105-111
Eden Volume 17 chapter 112-118
Eden Volume 18 chapter 119-126 END

In order to prevent double cleaning please post the chapter you’re going to clean as comment before you start cleaning. Thanks a lot!
