Eeeewwwwwww

Bin there dun that!

Eeeewwwwwww

It worked, but it was VERY time consuming. Colour balance among the 
scans is sometimes an issue.

Would not want to do that again -- much prefer the macro 
lens/digi-SLR approach. BUT, it is do-able, but not in quantity. 
Also, the scans need to be done in 4 segments on most garden variety scanners.

See the Stringband albums near the bottom of

Notice how the busy graphics went all the way to the edge...

Cheers,

Richard
