Okay a raw for Hajimete no Aku ch52 has been uploaded to RAW Paradise. The translation has also been finished.
There is however one problem.
THE ONLY RAW FILE I HAVE COME ACROSS IS HORRIBLE!! THE QUALITY SUCKS BIG TIME!!
If anyone finds it in an actually "not sucking horribly" quality PLEASE TELL ME!
I'll start working with what I have. But I really can't expect too much from this. I would really prefer a better starting point for use.....photoshop can only do so much. And starting with good quality usually gives better end results.
Update:
Good one available: THANK YOU FINESTELA!!! YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!!! WONDERFUL JOB AS ALWAYS!!!
Stage 1 cleaning complete
Typesetting/stage 2 cleaning 50%
Should have it finished tomorrow or monday

Burning and Dodging are your friend
This really only has to do with people who use photoshop and such. It has a major bit to do with cleaning.
When first starting most people try to do WAY too much work with the brush tool. I found out the hard way that this is pointless. It takes a large amount of time and is way too delicate. This makes the brush tool not that important (I use it very rarely now).
It is much more usefull to use burning to darken colors (such as hair and such that you want to stand out) and dodging to lighten colors (such as removing that little excess dirty looking fading pixels on the side of images).
I typically use these at around 20-30% exposure. First I burn in the hair and such to my liking. If there's a part that is just being disobediant I will quickly use the brush to pound it.
Then I use the dodge to remove any excess crap and make the image stand out clearer.
This has cut my time back by a large amount (I only just started doing these again for a few days now since I was away from photoshop for so long). The more correct difference there is between the image elements, the less it looks flat.
Practicing with it can be interesting.
