I gave up completely on work at about lunchtime today - what an absolute farce.
I spent the rest of the day scanning and photomerging the Starlog December 1980 poster.

The "geometric distortion correction" option is very useful for this, because, due to the image overlapping the edge of the scanner, it isn't 100% flat on the plate.
I got a slightly disjointed result the first time, without that option enabled.

The V750 has a way of developing some little discoloured rings on the underside of the scanner plate.
They come from lubricants off-gassing under the heat of the fluorescent light.

It has a visible effect when scanning documents with large, dark areas.
It had a minor impact on this scan originally but Photoshop fixed the problems with its healing brush.

I need to find somewhere non-dusty and remove the glass to clean the underside of it someday.

After that, I got a bit further playing Overload, which is quite a blast for anyone that enjoyed any of the Descent series of games.
