flip-palWith the holidays drawing near, the Flip-Pal™ mobile scanner has been the topic of discussion as people are scanning photos to create homemade holiday gifts.  Last year, I was fortunate enough to receive the Flip-Pal™ mobile scanner for free in exchange for participating in the Simple Gifts Blog Hop.

I ended up doing two projects:

In addition, I also experimented with the stitching software, which allows you to piece together several scans of a larger image.  So, say for example you have a family portrait that measures 16″ x 20″ and you want to have a digital copy.  Most personal flatbed scanners are not able to scan something that big.  And personal wand scanners are also too small.

So how can you get a digital image of that family portrait?  You could take a photograph of it, but the quality may not be all that great.  For the best outcome, use the Flip-Pal™ mobile scanner.  Take the scanner and collect several overlapping scans of the entire portrait.  Then you use the stitching software to put the image together and viola, that 16″ x 20″ family portrait is now in a digital format.

Below is a video demonstration of how the stitching software works.  It’s actually quite incredible.  If you have trouble seeing the video, you can head over to YouTube and view it here:  http://youtu.be/tDTxZct2_LM.
