I'm scannng all my new cels and (because they 
take more time) pain-in-the-butt pans are always 
saved for last. ^_^;  Enter said 5 layer pan and 
book Eatman cel - all layers *stuck*. Hard to 
handle because half the layers have the 
registration holes at the bottom, and the others 
have them at the top - not to mention it has both 
a background and midground. 9_9  So I load it on 
the scanner. . . scan one way. . . flip. . . scan 
the other way. . . It came out right on the first 
try! I go to take the cel off the scanner but 
didn't notice the top layer had slid the tiniest 
bit under the scanner bed edge. . .

* * R I P P I N G   N O I S E! * *

( ( ( O_O ) ) );;;;;;;;;

I was sure it would be dead. T_T  But no! 
Incredibly, the top layer (which I'm positive I 
could *not* have tried to remove carefully with 
success) had ripped free cleanly - with no damage 
to it or the layer below. . . (O_O)  What are the 
chances of THAT!?!?

Ahhh. . . A happy ending. ^___^ Here is the cel 
in question prior to getting unexpectedly 
unstuck. ^_^;  So who else has a scanning horror 
story?

Many Sharp Smiles,
