I think your still best off in Photoshop because a hard edge like that is going to take some work.
Have I got this right....the idiots cut the frames through the images? If Alex is having to stitch cut frames together, his task will be greatly eased if he has the frames drum scanned. This will ensure that he has the absolute maximum usable image area to work with at the join. The reason being that there will be no curl at the unsupported image end, which would be the case when using a CCD film scanner, unless he is mounting between glass, and that brings it's own problems big time!
Hi Richard. That's what I'm assuming from what Alex posted and I agree with you completely about avoiding the curl by drum scanning.
