Thanks to everyone for the very helpful posts, and to list member Erik Dix who filled me in on the Photomerge feature in Adobe Photoshop elements. This really is a wonderful feature...if you have two scans of different parts of the cover, it will seam them together automagically and build the resulting file. Since my scanner is 11.7" long (in other words, not quite long enough) and I have to buy another one anyway, I may opt for a full-size scanner rather than a "legal size" one that would still require two scans and the Photoshop operation. But it's certainly a viable alternative. Best, Joel At 10:20 PM 8/8/2003 +0200, you wrote: >Yes,.
