If you find yourself in the same situation, click on IMAGE in the menu bar, and then CANVAS SIZE. This is the point where I decided to give myself a little more room to breathe, and resized that “canvas” to have a little more space with all those fragments. They’ll look kind of like a collage when you’re done, as they do here. Keep going until you’ve dropped them all inside the same document. They’ll overlap each other, and that’s fine. You might need 90 degrees instead.Īfter each of your fragments are right-side up, just drag and drop them into your new image file ( left-click still). I chose the 180 degree rotation because my images were upside down. The ROTATE CANVAS option is farther down than seen above, but to save space I erased some of the intermediate options. To do that, click on IMAGE in the menu bar, then ROTATE CANVAS, and then choose the amount you need. Before you assemble your fragments, you’ll probably need to rotate them all right-side up. I went with 12″ by 30″ although I later found out I needed a little more space.Ĭlick the OK button and your new, blank image will appear.Īs you can see, some of my fragments were upside down because of the way I scanned them. Choose a width and height that’s big enough to hold all the fragments at once. Then move them off to the side-it’s time to open up a new, blank image document where you’ll re-assemble your artwork.Īfter clicking FILE, then NEW, ( ctrl + N) this window will appear.Ĭhoose the resolution that you scanned your artwork at-it should be at least 300 pixels per inch. Once you’ve zoomed out on all your fragments, feel free to resize each of the windows so there’s less gray border visible. (Mac users will have to figure out which keys will work for them.) To zoom in, just press and hold ctrl + space and left-click. Each time you click, you’ll zoom farther out. Press and hold ctrl + alt + space to make your zoom out tool appear (a magnifying glass with a minus in the center), then left-click. Of course they’ll be stacked on top of each other, so the first thing you’ll want to do is zoom out and make each of the six fragments small enough to see them all on the screen at once. Find your scanned fragments and hold down shift, highlighting each file, before clicking the open button. To open your files click on FILE in the menu bar, then OPEN (or ctrl + O). This meant I had to scan six times on my scanner to get it all. I scanned one of my older paintings for this tutorial which is a rather strange size at about 10″ wide and 26″ tall. I’m assuming you’ve already scanned your artwork and have several files ready to piece together. The first thing you’ll do is open up your scanned files in Photoshop. ![]() It’s pretty long, but it has enough pictures and information that I’m pretty sure even a beginner to Photoshop will be able to do this. This tutorial will teach you how to do that. ![]() With most artwork being larger than the average home scanner, you’ll probably need to scan your art several times (getting a different section each time) and then use Photoshop to “stitch” the whole thing back together again. If you’re selling high quality prints, I’d recommend going to a pro but depending on what you need the image for, scanning may work just fine. When you need a high-res digital image of your artwork, you really only have two choices-either scan it yourself, or have it professionally photographed. By admin in Art Tutorials > Photoshop Tricks
