Dear /hr/,

I have the chance to get a legal-size scanner for free. Does anyone know how well it would work for scanning stuff like posters from Megami magazine (and others, for posting on /hr/ and my own personal collection)? I'd still have to stitch scans together, will the final image still look ok? Or should I scrap this idea completely and find an oversize scanner?

And I'm not sure "legal" is the right term, all I know is that it's bigger than standard scanners which are just a bit longer than a sheet of paper.

You can use something lika PanaVue Image Assembler (IMHO, the easiest to use with best results when dealing with overlapping scans), or Hugin, Microsoft ICE, Autopano Pro etc., but these are primarly intended for stitching panoramas, and the results usually aren't as nice as with Image Assembler (OTOH, Hugin and ICE are free).
