Fig. 27 Scanning a 30 x 40 format has become quite simple for me in the meantime. Even a Schoellershammer size 50 x 70 does not take more than half an hour, including the assembly in Photoshop. And it is worthwhile, because reproductions are quite expensive and their quality i s not necessarily better. As you can see in Fig. 27, I first scan the lower part of the artwork. Hint: Those who do not believe in the quality of this technique ought to think about the following facts: A 50 x 70 board i s scanned in 8 parts at 600 dpi with an A4 scanner. However, it is only displayed at 300 dpi …in other words, we even get 100 x 140 cm at 300 dpi. As I may scan up to 1200 dpi with a normal scanner, I might even quadruple the display size – you could see every single hair of the plain cardboard texture, then. The actual quality only depends on the scanner itself.
Fig. 28 As you can see in Fig.28,l now scan the other part of the artwork (mind the 2-3 cm overlap that you need in the middle of the picture). Now that I have the two parts of the artwork in my computer, I simply have to combine them. Just get to the computer and unpack the graphics tablet – it is as simple as that!
Fig. 29 As you can see in Fig. 29, there is enough left of the right arm in the lower part of the picture, i.e. enough space to overlap. As the colors of the scans seem to be all right, I create a new file first (in the actual display size 30 x 40 cm, 300 dpi). Both scans may be positioned correctly using the command -> “image turn workplace -> turn 90″ to the right” and all you have to do then is drag & drop them into the new file.
