I Was Waiting For A Long Time
I originally planned on having Eternia edit this chapter. In fact, I was half-way through translating it when I decided to just go ahead and do it myself. Nowadays, I make it rather easy for Eternia and typeset as I translate so I don't have to fuss with typing out a separate script; all she normally has to worry about is cleaning the image, SFXs and proofreading. But, since I had my kids with me this whole week, I thought, "Just clean and edit the thing already. It won't take you that long!"
Hah! Boy was I wrong! I'm a lot fussier at editing than I sometimes think! Case in point, the cover of Comic Gum, featuring Kanna and friends. In the original raw file (on the left), Hadzuki had a bad "blotch" on her face; and being a medium quality scan, the image wasn't as clean as it could be. Well, actually, unless someone had a better copy of the comic, even a high quality scan would still have that "blotch". Anyhow, I cleaned up the Comic Gum cover a lot (image on the right). The two images here are linked together, for those who want flip back and forth to compare. And as usual, I cleaned up all the other pages a lot as well, more than any sane person (like Eternia) would do. About the only thing I didn't do was join the split images.
Anyhow, enjoy this chapter as Kanna and friends discuss and discover each others solo...err... acting techniques. :P
