Re: Scanning 35mm Panoramic with HP Scanner

["Thomas G. Tamura" <ttamura@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Thanks for the replies.  What I was trying to do was to find a film scanner
and/or software that would allow me to scan a panoramic negative or slide
taken with either a Horizon 202 or Noblex camera.  I used to own one of the
original Nikon Coolscan and don't believe it had the capability to scan
anything larger than a 24mmX36mm frame.

Thanks again to all of you who responded.  Mahalo, Thomas Tamura

Tom,
Vuescan didn't help me at all. If the image is made
with a swing lens camera stitching is no problem.
Just pull both images together and combine then.
With any other camera you'll need a great many
images to eliminate barrel distortion or use
commercial stitching software.
