Tweet Photo:WC Fields, Mack Sennett, Frank Capra

I think this photo is from the 1935 Academy Awards dinner with W.C. Fields presenting an honorary Oscar to Mack Sennett as Frank Capra looks on. I scanned this photo from an 8x10 inch negative but the light unit on my scanner is only about 2.5 inches wide (the length isn't a problem). So I pieced together the photo after scanning it into three sections. I tried using photo merge on Photoshop but I couldn't figure it out. So I pasted the sections on Word, saved as a pdf, opened it in Photoshop to crop the uneven edges, and saved it as a jpeg. Not bad but the American flag in the back gives the game away.



I fiddled with it some more and the flag looks better:
