I have to scan 1/2 of the L/O, then move it over and scan the other 1/2, (you have to take the cover off to scan the other 1/2, and just lay the cover over the layout to scan.) I use PSP7 to "stitch" the parts together, or you can use a program made for stitching photos and pictures.

I think alot of the ladies on here use their Digital cameras and take a picture of it, and upload the picture. I am hoping to get one for my birthday, so I can do that. It is so much easier than the scanning and stitching!

I hope this helped you some.

I take digital photo of my los. I have very good lighting in my studio so I take the photos without the flash. I place the lo on an easel and place the camera strait on so I get a perfectly square image. then I use Picture-It Express to crop the photo so that all I have is the lo and enlarge it to fit the 12 x 12 square. I save it as a jpg image and upload it to my gallery.

I use Canon Photostitch. I scan my layout in 2 halves, press the "Merge" button and Poof! I have 1 page! It's so easy!!!

I scan the two sides, then stitch with Paint!

I use my digital camera to take pics of my layouts. Before I got my digital, I scanned the layouts in two pieces and stitched them in Photoshop. If you don't have Photoshop you should have Paint, which is also an easy way to stitch. It comes with Windows and you can find it by going into Programs, Accessories.

I take digi pics, and I'll crop and/or tweak colors and brightness in Photoshop before posting.
