We are trying to figure out a way to post a large collection of (old) sheet music on the web. We have a scanner, but like most standard scanners it has an image window of 8.5" X 14" and invariably sheet music is a half inch or so wider.Has anyone had success with scanning two portions of the image into separate files and then, with software like Adobe Photoshop, 'splicing' them together? Is this approach unreasonable considering the time it might take to do a large number of oversize images with respectable results?
Our other option might be to copy the image by camera onto 35 mm film and then run the film through a digital image processor/creator. While this might cut down some of the time lost in pasting images together, the image might lose clarity in the photo process.
Is there anyone who has posted digital images larger than 8.5" X 14" to their web, and if so, how did you get the whole image?
Any comments are welcome. Thank you.
