PROCESS INFO

- I downloaded copies of the 4 x individual panels of the digitized original (very faded).

- Using Adobe Photoshop Creative Suite 8.0 I resized the images to match scale of each, cut the images for exact fit, re-aligned & manually merged the images.

- Enlarged & cropped the resulting full panorama image for better framing, then restored contrast, sharpness & used duotone for better tonal range.
