I finally got around to scanning the artwork on my dedicated Rampage World Tour cab, which was in pretty good shape. I did it at 600 dpi to preserve as much detail as possible, and I scanned in both sides, the CPO, and the sides of the control panel box. Now I just don't know what to do with all of it!
I've stitched the scans together with the assistance of Hugin (which took over 24 hours per side on my Core 2 Duo machine!), and kept all the original scans. I also blogged about it, in case anyone wants to know the process I used. The stitched image for one side is almost 3 GB, and because of that I'm at a standstill.
My piddly 4 GB of RAM can't handle any serious editing in Photoshop - it takes about 10 minutes to load the image, and touchups take forever to have any effect. There are scratches and smudges and some faded parts, so this isn't exactly print-ready. Is there some place that I can/should post the raw scans or the stitched version so that people can take a whack at it? I'm not particularly interested in getting anything printed myself, since my cab's in pretty good condition, but was just wondering what I should do with it for posterity's sake. Thanks for any and all guidance!
