A color separation scanner comprising a movable support arranged for mounting thereon of a two-dimensional input picture to be scanned and color separation sensing apparatus arranged for sensing the two-dimensional input picture for providing electrical signals representing color separations of the two-dimensional picture, the color separation sensing apparatus including a scanning head having a plurality of generally parallel CCD arrays, associated with dichroic filter means and operative for simultaneous scanning of the two-dimensional input picture.

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.
