Hi Everyone, in today's video I will be giving a tutorial on how to scan artwork that is too large for your scanner. If you want to get started selling your original artwork (whether it be original paintings, drawings, etc) online as digital downloads to earn passive income, this is a great tutorial for you. Many times, your artwork will be too large for your scanner at home. In this video I will show you how to scan and stitch your large format art using a free software called GIMP. You simply scan your large art with your small scanner in sections, take them into GIMP, and you can merge the sections together in GIMP. It takes less than 5 minutes, and is 100% Free to make your art into digital wall art.
Don't wait to start making passive income with your passion of art! You truly can start today.

You deserve a Nobel prize for making this tutorial. So clear, so easy to follow. You’re a hero
Finally I've found someone who talks sense that I can understand. Thank you so much. 😊
So clear and concise. Without extra babble. Thank you.
damn, i could never figure out this technique. great job! i have the same scanner too, and i use gimp.
Thank-you so much for uploading this tutorial! I had been following a photoshop tutorial for the longest time while using GIMP and kept getting confused on blending the transparency of two images because photoshop had tools that GIMP didn't. Your tutorial is so clear and helpful, and now my bigger art doesn't look like a patchwork quilt!
woohoo, so glad it helped you out!
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been looking for how to do exactly this, and every vid I found was for photoshop and it was so confusing. I’ve been using Gimp, AND I have the same scanner so this was absolutely perfect for me. Thank youuuu!!!
Loooove your tutorials.
Why don’t you take off the packaging and tape?
This was sooo helpful. Thank you! Excited to check out more of your videos :)
What a phenomenal video. I use GIMP as well, and the tutorial you provided is incredibly helpful. THANK YOU!!!
Awesome job! Maybe a good analogy would be a black layer mask would be like a wool blanket, and a white layer mask would be like a mesh blanket 😉
Thank you so much Miss Brittany !!!
Happy to help!
Super helpful! I like how thoroughly you explained this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much for this content! ❤
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching Cristina
Awesome!
Thank you for this tutorial. I use Gimp a lot with Linux, and Darktable ( (so it's all free). I've not tried stitching and this will be helpful for my art. I have yet to get outputs to sell.
One think I wondered when you did the scans - you did no adjustments to the scanner settings (ie those that come up with the preview - brightness, contrast, gamma, etc). Do you use Gimp for final colour adjustments? My biggest battle to to work out if the colours on screens (they seems to all be different) will finally print out close to the original artwork.
Heeeeey! Thanks! That was super useful!
You're welcome!! Thanks so much for watching!!
Great video. Apparently, the scanner you reference in your video includes stitch software (ArcSoft Scan n Stitch Deluxe 2), did you find that GIMP was better?
This was super helpful! Thank you! What image type do you usually save your image as once you are finished?
JPG! at 300 DPI
thank you . very helpful , opacity change is a smart step :) . if you work with gimp, how do you manage cmyk requirement if you give it to a printing house ?
I've actually never touched this setting and never had issues. I know that's not a satisfactory answer, just the truth!
What scanner did you use for this project?
How do you the layers back in color once you add them? Once i open all the pictures, it's in gray shade, no color
So confusing, but you did a great job of explaining this. Would it be possible to scan a canvas painting?
Yes but you'll have to check that the lid to the scanner can accommodate the extra space. Mine can really expand so it would do the job!
What if your painting is alot larger than that? Like 4 feet by 4 feet .
Hello Brittany!! I'm an artist and a lot of my small paintings are 6x9...when I'm uploading them to be digital downloads for my Etsy shop getting them to fit in all the different ratios ends up cutting off a lot of my art, otherwise there's a huge white border around it to make it fit and be centered. Is there a size that you find works best to fit in all aspect ratios? Like should my original art be done on an 8x10 instead for easy transition? Thanks in advance!!!
Honestly it's hard to know without seeing the art itself! I feel if it's abstract you could use any aspect ratio really and still be able to convey the art appropriately. But if you have more of a realism style to your art it's hard to say! I'll just say I typically start around 8 x 10 and make sure the subject is for the most part in the center so I have plenty of room to play around.
I watched the video and appreciate the instruction. However, after I scanned my large piece of art, I couldn't figure out how to find it in gimp. Can you help?

Ok. So apparently I’m an idiot. Gimp isn’t linked in your description and did a search. Can’t find it. The village lost their idiot because I moved. Good grief. Anyway, can you link it in your description please? Be greatly appreciated.
You're not an idiot!! Try here: www.gimp.org/downloads/
