[Mr. Booboo]

Dmax Imaging, located in downtown San Francisco, is looking for second shift image manipulation operators. Excellent color (CMYK and RGB) and retouching skills required. CGI and Flash experience a strong plus. Full time permanent employment with great pay and benefits for those who can work cooperatively in a very fast paced team environment. Interested? Please forward a resume, cover letter and portfolio link to jobs@dmaximaging.com No calls or faxes please.

"Image manipulation operators" thats one hell of a patronising job title if you are looking for people with experience. Operators are button pushers. Oh yes and you can pay them rubbish too

Hey, be nice. These companies are coming to this site. I bet a lot of the people on this site would love a job like that. So don't discourage co.'s from posting. People rely on these postings.

I agree. They say "great pay and benefits" and if I wanted to work in that area of the state I might want to know the detail instead of jumping to conclusions. So please don't discourage companies that may provide real employment opportunities for our members.
Thanks

i don't think he's discouraging any company from posting on this site..i have seen lots of ads in my day but i have yet to see the term that was quoted...

I would love to be an Image Manipulation Operator living and working in San Fran if they paid me a High End Retoucher's wage. Cool town.

edit:

hmmmmm....http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/mar/575390677.html

"no studio boutiquers needed"

I guess that means prima donnas like you, Markzebra.

[pixelzombie]

so why wouldn't they want a boutique retoucher?

[Benny Profane]

Hmmmm....they don't want attitude? And don't want to pay anything?


damn, the Chinese food is so good in that town. And just a few blocks away........

[Markzebra]

Guess I got nothing to lose by querying what a photo amendment technician is supposed to do, I live in London anyway. Quality of life here is ... anyway changing the subject, boutique hopefully means lazy and over specialised.

As you probably know, we have ways of butchering the Queen's English.

[Markzebra]

No probs, butcher away. Just be careful when you ask her to take her to take her crown off again, especially when she thinks its called a tiara

[Benny Profane]

She's the Queen, damnit, she gets to call it anything she wants.

[pixelzombie]

that ad is now running on chicagos craiglist, strange...

[Benny Profane]

NYC, too.

You know, as soon as I move to SF, the earth will shake and destroy all the Chinese restaurants.

[pixelzombie]

i thought they would slide into the pacific ocean...

The same ad was posted on Craigslist in LA on 3/10/08. The title asked for retouchers, so not sure what they were really looking for.
