Quoted from MarkInc:So, no go on the professional scan.
Playfield too heavy for the machine's rollers. No one else in town has a large scanner that can handle it.
My options:
1. Good photo/s stitched/scaled
2. Tracing paper & pencil -> scan
3. Hand scanner
4. something, something profit? Or any suggestions from the gallery?
Take a reglar flatbed scanner, rip off lid, scan in sections best you can. Photoshop photo merge. It is incredibly accurate if you do your best to scan in sections properly. We did this for large posters to make sideart and worked flawlessly
Quoted from rosh:If you have to scan in pieces, first draw a grid on the playfield, lines every 4 inches or so, to help align the sections of the scans when you stitch them back together. .
You can overlap the scans to get a really accurate final accurate well
Quoted from epthegeek:I think Josh's point is that on an almost uniformly brown blank, a grid would give you more points of reference to re-align things.
Not trying to argue or debate this. Just saying I've done similar and worked fine. Lots of holes overlapping so good to go
Quoted from MarkInc:Hammerhead is lending me his scanner!
Will try the scan and stitch approach in a couple of days.
If PS isn't stitching it well for you, I'm happy to take the pics and try myself
Quoted from MarkInc:all stitched up and ready to go
Amazing work!
