Abstract
A method whereby a picture may be fit precisely in a desired location in a scanned page layout comprises the steps of preliminarily scanning a planar picture and displaying it to an operator on a video screen; marking two points on the displayed picture corresponding to two points on the layout where the two picture points are to fit; physically rotating the picture in a plane thereof and magnifying the picture so that the positional relationship of the two picture points of the thus rotated and magnified picture matches that of the corresponding layout points; and rescanning the picture as rotated and magnified.
