I continue to try and scan with my 4490 scanner.. here's the latest lot

I've abandoned photo merge and try to stitch them myself.. the photo being at an angle coming out of the OEM holder seems to stop the halves lining up properly.. i also forget to turn off auto exposure when scanning the 2nd half and that leaves you with 2 halves that dont match in brightness/colour.

A new scanner will be had.. it just about does for now.
