Default scanner and Photoshop skills?

You may recall that some weeks ago I put on the web the text of two
articles from way back in 1967, when three mainstream magazines ran
stories about soaring. I just received a copy of the third magazine,
National Geographic, and the article is wonderful. I can't wait to put
it on the web. The pictures are gorgeous.

And that's the problem. The Geographic's magazine people in their
wisdom laid out the photos in funky ways, letting some bleed right to
the edge of the paper and splitting others across the spine of the
magazine. Now, I can cut open the magazine and scan the loose pages to
get every last pixel of every picture, but I don't have a good way to
put the split pictures back together again. With the tools I have, I
expect I would leave visible seams.

Does anyone have a good scanner and the Photoshop skills to do better?
