Picture merging?

I've got an old wide angle picture of a family reunion from 1923. It's too wide to scan all at once so I did it in two halves. Anybody know if there's a way to merge it together in to one wide picture?

Yes, likely several different options, from free sotware to Paint that came with Windows to $1000 software that is pro grade.

Got any friends with Photshop, they can fix up that crease mark as well, take out any spots, and make you a new photo to cherish.

Like Paul says, even "Paint" will do a fair job...

You din't scan the bottom of the RH side, though!
 
rrlund,

Here it is, fixed the crack down center of photo as good as possible... would have to have the photo in higher resolution to fix it better. (Though the young man where the crack goes right threw the center of his face did not fix all that well.)

And Bob is right, lower portion of right side was missing - so I cropped the left to match it.

Thanks a bunch! Been wanting that scanned in for a while now.

Nope Jack,that was a year or two before my time. A year before my Dad was born even. That's my Grand Dad fourth from the right,back row holding uncle Donald. The two old gals down front with the girl in the white dress on their lap were my Great Grandmother and her twin sister who came over from Sweden in 1881.
 
OK,one more question though. I saved it. I can enlarge it,but after I do,how do I save it in the larger size?
 
Scan it at the highest resolution you can, even if it means three or four pieces. Then use "stitching" software that will put it back together. Pretty easy to use once you get the idea.

There are plenty of good photo editing programs available for under $100 that can do it and clean up the pictures as well. I like "Perfect Photo Suite 7", free trial download is available.

For just stitching a few together you can use free software like "hugin", it works but you still need a photo editing program to clean it up afterwards.

I would like to learn to modify photos to remove grease spots on paving in a photo etc. What program do you use/reccommend?

thanks
Jim
 
Great that you have those pictures. My Dad had a bunch of old family photos that my brother and I begged him to write on the back who-where-when etc., but he never did. They are all lost to us now, he was the last of his generation.
 
jimlll,

I am guessing that most editing software all work in a fairly similar manner... the key to success is to install the program and then just practice A LOT!

Even though my software auto-preserves originals to a folder... I first save a "renamed" copy of any photo I want to work with, to a folder I named for editing - just to be absolutely certain I don't destroy the original copy.

I practiced with the software for over a year before I got to the point of what I consider quality editing (and there is so much about the program that I have never even utilized yet). So be prepared to devote some time to it, if you want to get good at it. Also buy a "how-to" book for your specific software. I use Corel, but have heard good things about Photoshop. Also available are Adobe, Sony and I imagine there are other brands too.

Have fun editing... it is addicting. :)
