Art Larger Than Your Scanner

• 1). Place your art face down on the scanner.
  
  
• 2). Line up one-quarter of the piece to be scanned. Make sure it is straight by lining it up with the sides.
  
  
• 3). Press the "Scan" button to start the scan. If you have the option, set up your scanner to scan the piece at 300 dpi or higher.
  
  
• 4). Scan the other three-quarters of the artwork, making sure to align them with the glass so they scan straight. It doesn't matter if some are upside down as they can be rotated later.
  
  
• 5). Open up a photo editing program and open each scanned picture.
  
  
• 6). Rotate the images if necessary.
  
  
• 7). Open a blank document and paste each quarter of your art work onto the new document.
  
  
• 8). Line each piece up so the picture looks exactly like your artwork.
  
  
• 9). Save your image.
