Send Message: To this poster

Hello, Baren Forum,
I've been lurking for a while and have learned many helpful things.
My Maru Bake is up and running quite nicely thanks to Bareners.

I took a Moku Hanga weekend class with April Volmer last summer and
have been entranced, enchanted and entangled ever since. You can see
some prints at my blog www.theqipapers.blogspot.com (beware it is
mostly about rabbits but just now has my Year of the Ox print blocks
featured) and at my Etsy shop www.qipapers.etsy.com

As to more formal background info I am currently a very under
employed acupuncturist/herbalist (the result of economic downturn and
a gross excess of acupuncturists in town) and a part-time teacher at
the Santa Cruz Waldorf High School where I teach painting, drawing,
and color theory. And will teach Moku Hanga to 9th graders the part
of spring trimester (I've already had them for B&W drawing and they
are fab, I think they can do it!!). Here's the school address http://
www.scwaldorf.org/frameit.cgi?/website/high_school/
hs_introduction.html Um, what else, oh yes, I have a BA in Fine Arts
form UC Santa Cruz with focus in drawing and printmaking and an MA in
Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches Institute.

Happy Solar New Year to Bareners One and All,
Diana Moll

Send Message: To this poster

Hi Linda

When scanning large artwork I've had good luck scanning in small
pieces and using photoshop (or a similar application) to patch the
pieces together. I create a blank canvas the same size or scale of the
large artwork and then drag the scanned sections onto the canvas on
seperate layers. Since darkening or lightening ("noise") at the edges
can be a problem I like to leave lots of overlapping at the seams. I
can adjust the levels and with a little feathered erasing and
rubberstamping the seams are very hard to detect.

If you're loading the image on to a sorefront and you don't want any
hint of a seam then having the art scanned elsewhere might be worth
the money. I don't know about copy shops but most press shops
(InstyPrints, AlphaGraphics, etc.) will have the capability to scan
large formats. This can get a bit pricey though. I suppose it just
depends on how you're planning on using the images.

Hope this helps!
Shelley
