I am working on a project digitizing historical records off microfilm.
Some of these records were originally created in very large formats:
One that I am working with right now was apparently about 20"x30". So
when I scan the microfilm it takes 12 8.5"x11" separate scans to cover
the entire area. I now want to stitch those separate images into a
single large JPEG. Using GIMP to try and add subsequent images I find
that if I am not very careful the added image ends up frozen in place
relative to the existing images and I can no longer select it separately
in order to adjust its relative position. For example I am trying to
do the rough positioning with a Zoom of 50%, but then I want to Zoom in
to 200% to do fine adjustment, and I keep getting locked out. Also, if
an individual sub-image needs editting before adding it, do I have to do
that in a separate GIMP window?
Could someone direct me to advice on a good way to do this?
