o you have some drawings or other images that
are too big to fit in the scanner? Or already pasted
into a scrapbook? You can still scan them in with
PhotoPlus, using the hand-scanning feature. If a picture
is too big, you can scan it in sections and then use your
software to “stitch” the sections together.
Once you get the hang of it, you’ll probably find lots
