My Noah's Ark painting was scanned in 8 pieces. In PH CS3, I dragged all the scans onto one big page, used Align Layers (Ph alighs all the scans for you) then Blended (it made the blends seamless)! It would have taken an hour the old way--this time it took 2 minutes!!!!Laura Zarrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09075761275669952974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18661842.post-43477501732503702482007-07-20T13:09:00.000-04:002007-07-20T13:09:00.000-04:00I love the lake and you separated that bear from t...I love the lake and you separated that bear from the background perfectly!Dan Santathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11681652762050490802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18661842.post-66766610903271475642007-07-19T23:29:00.000-04:002007-07-19T23:29:00.000-04:00You win, Paige!

I think there is actually a function in photoshop to do this, but I always just reduce the opacity of one layer and line it up over the one below to make sure they are aligned properly. (I always make sure there is some overlap in the two pieces) Then sometimes I use the eraser to soften the edge. and then merge the layers!<BR/><BR/>I hope that makes sense!?<BR/>paula xPaula Bowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05615180594629685741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18661842.post-60242811568419286022007-07-06T15:03:00.000-04:002007-07-06T15:03:00.000-04:00Wow!

Then scan the all of the painting in pieces. Scan not prescan. This gives each section the same pallet, much easier to piece together. Next, I take one of the sections and resize the canvas to fit the rest of the sections. I then bring in one of the other scans as a layer. I change the transparency of the layer so I can align it over the other piece. And finally, with a large soft edge eraser, I cut of the edge and it will blend right in. I don't know if that makes sence or not, but it works great for me. Email me if you want me to explain it better. Happy scanning. Oh, and great painting too.Kactiguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04266598831378871626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18661842.post-23896247693603101782007-07-05T10:42:00.000-04:002007-07-05T10:42:00.000-04:00i think this is one of your best pieces Paige! i ...i think this is one of your best pieces Paige! i love it so much!!!nicole falkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398105022674072625noreply@blogger.com
