Ok, here's what I want to do.....I know it can be done very easily, but I don't want it to look "choppy". And I odn't think I can get them all in my scanner at once.


I want to take 6 cards and have them side by side in my sig. I would like them fairly small, lined up perfectly next to each other and all in the same exact size....in uniform. Like how everyone with a "rainbow" has theirs done.


How do I go about doing this most effectively? Any tricks to making it look perfect, like all one pic?



Thanks

Here is what I do.

Since just using the corner of the scanner cuts off a bit of the border off the top and side I use 2 thick decoy cards to make my own corner. Preview the scan and crop it so that it is just a bit smaller than the actual card. Scan each card individually and upload them. Then take them and either put all 3 4 or 5 in your sig or open paint or photoshop and lump them all together so you only have one image in your sig (This is what I do)

It works great for both horizontal and verticle cards.

Here is the best example of 6 I could find at hand

So you do one at a time?

Ok, thanks. Will do that then.

That's the look I want...and pretty much that size, maybe even a little smaller.
