The only secret is a scanner with uniform illumination. The line along 
which stitching is effected will have at most one point where the two 
scans are truly conicident. An absolute difference in image brightness 
is easily corrected; a difference varying along the seam will defeat any 
software I've used. (However, I am using an ancient graphics program, 
PicturePublisher. I own Photoshop, but have not needed to graduate to it.)
