Digitization Tutorial – Stitching Files for Oversized Materials

Tuesday, April 28, 1:00pm, 2020

Presenter: Rachael Johns

Have you ever needed to scan something that is too big to scan all at once? Creating files for oversized items can be challenging. In Preservation Services, we often digitize oversized library materials, such as foldouts from books or really big maps. If you also work with oversized materials, or just want to play with Adobe Photoshop with library people, please join us for a tutorial on stitching oversized materials.

We will cover basics and work together to combine several files to represent an example oversized item. If you can, please have a copy of Adobe Photoshop enabled on your computer when you join us in Zoom, we will share a link to practice files available for download at the beginning of the session. Here is a link to the U of I Webstore for Adobe download options, and more tutorials available to continue learning later!
