In the past I used Autopano Giga for a combination of over 39 photos to create photo walls that have been over 3 by 2 meters. https://www.rozdigitalphotos.com/ <https://www.rozdigitalphotos.com/>

We lack the space to lay it flat, so I was hoping to get it scanned and reprinted onto a banner. I'm very hesitant to put it through a roller scanner due to its age.
