Hello again,
I think my post will be similar to many others I haven't used the best search terms so I'll post.
What I, like all of us, have is a bunch of 4x5 negs. When scanned, they are all roughly the same size because my first scan is a high resulution scan that includes the outer edges of the neg for identification purposes. They are not exactly the same size though. Nor are they centred.
How do I place a 'layer' of white like a card with a known cutout over the neg ? I would then have a composite which would have an identically sized image in the centre.
It would be the digital equivalent of moving a white card over the image till I was happy with the composition and then taking a photo of it.
The result is a known image size.
The other way to do it would be to get a specifically sized crop tool and, like a cookie cutter, wave it above the image till I was happy and then cut the image out. I would then need to take the same cookie cutter to the next image ...
If someone could point me to a Photoshop tutorial, an add-on to Photoshop or maybe they have prepared a pdf of this process themselves that they'd share ...
TIA,
Steve
