Site Admin 11:28 pm, Dec 23 2006 Posts: 1036	Well after stumbling on an uncountable number of mangas that have either been droped, halted or have 1 release every 29th february, because of the lack of people working on it... I thought that if I really wanted things to speed up a bit maybe I should try to help right? but with what? I know I can't read japanese and learning it would take too long. So the other position that might be needed are: Quality checking, Proofreading, *editing, cleaning, typesetting. I kind of know that Quality cheking and proofreading might require a very good grammar and spelling, wich was never my strong point... So my only other option apears to learn editing, cleaning and/or typesetting. But then again, I don't know how to do any of that... So I was wondering any of you guys know where to find a good tutorial, or maybe even can make one or something? Or is it just hopeless, and I'll never be of any help? P.S. I know that editing isn't easy. that's why I want to learn first. And anyway, it's still easier to learn than japanese... ________________ So predictable...

Wow that was fast!! well thanks a lot! Yeah, the power of google is sometimes just frightening! but you need to find the "right" search string... and sometimes, even thought it's obvious (like this time). It just doesn't come to mind... (at least not mine) Well now I'll start my "study" session then... ________________ So predictable...

Well after spending the whole night reading that, (and practicing of course), I found it a lot easier to understand than I thought it would be... But a lot harder to master than I ever thought about it! I'll need a loooot of practice before I start getting results I'll be proud of. ________________ So predictable...

I was also recently pointed to this tutorial by Forever More, which has some very good pointers listed. This isn't a broad-spectrum tutorial, but is just a guide to reframing pages (which is something I haven't seen on any other guides). I hope this helps! Too many people think editing is easy, and consequently end up doing a rushed and poor job of it. I'm relatively new at it, but I'm learning ways to improve every day.
