Both my Android phone and digital camera have that facility but on both
it only seems to work well in good strong light (i.e. outdoors). Even my
(A4) scanner's software has a "join" function which tries to make one
big scan of two smaller ones, but it always looks bad. Never seems to
scan with the same brightness and contrast twice, so the join looks
awful even when aligned.
Anyway, I took Bryan's suggestion and found that there are indeed a
couple of Freecycle groups around here, and I tried Froogle for the
first time which compares best prices plus I found one or two second
user equipment sites which I'll look into when I get time.
Would be nice if QPC2 could link to these TWAIN devices like scanners in
some way - if the hooks were there it might be possible to write QL
software to do these tasks. Obviously, I have no idea of what TWAIN is
like to work with, people like Marcel might well give me a piece of
their mind for even daring to suggest it!

I have successfully stitched together two A4 scans of record sleeves (LP's
remember those?) with Photoshop Elements.
A scanner should give more evenly lit images for stitching than a camera
would, but I think Photoshop can also even this out.
Mind you, this was all done with a HP scanner and under W$98.
This scanner plus software is far better than my current All-In-One under
Vista, but HP didn't bother to port the "old" driver to Vista.
