Hi hope this is right but anyway I'm a reasonable editor (I like to think ;D) and belong to another group(kawaii-heavens I generally do QC'ing there) so wouldn't be able to be a full time editor though could do a chapter every now and then but I like most of your guys projects so am willing to help if it would be useful to you guys
I use photoshop cs2 for editing if that is valid

could you eh? O.o hmm well i'm in no position to say but in my opinion, if it won't hinder you too much i would suggest you take the test : P besides, for a seasoned cleaner such as yourself it wouldn't even be a difficult thing now would it

Links to previous works for editors already in groups is always an acceptable alternative to taking our test.
Edit: so long as you are credited for the work done. (should you be linking us to a volume/chapter release)

The download link worked for me and hmmm i took a look at your cleaned chapter. I just have a few comments to add regarding your editing style:
- We like to remove SFX and redraw under it here at MH. From what i saw in the happiness chapter, there was little to none of that.
- I'm not sure how much manual cleaning had gone into the pages but there were plenty of impure black areas in the pages.
- PNG saving might have been a bit off from what looks like to me as colour diversity loss in a few pages, be it greyscale.
- Typesetting: Font placement and size are too big and awkward at times
With that said, i'm also not sure of your redrawing skill level. I don't know bout the rest but if you were to make up for those i'm alright with taking you in as a casual editor.

yea that probaly wasnt the best chapter to use since it was a rushed job to make some people in our forum be quiet and i have noticed that compressing images does damage them sometimes but often its better to have a couple of black dots over a chapter that is 20mbs and 15 pages long i think and the sfx thing is just the last scan leader did it that way so i continued doing it that way (its also useful for covering new editors )

Well, thats true regarding compression but we try not to over do it so as to lose image quality Regarding the SFX thing, all of us here at MH remove and redraw sfx so yeah. :X If you're still interested, you could finish up that test you were linked or maybe send a better chapter? >_>
