Merging Pics/images

Postby Steve on Sun Jan 27, 2008 8:17 am

Does anyone know of a program other than Photoshop that will join 2 halves of a picture? Any help would be appreciated.

I use Microsoft paint (came with the PC) for merging pictures.

What exactly are you looking to do? I'm guessing that you want to do what is "stitch" the parts together. Is that right, or do you mean something else?

That's correct Gumzilla.

How do you do that with MS Paint, Xray?

I use Paint shop Pro v9. Here's an entry from the Help file:

    Take a series of photographs with overlapping subject matter, then stitch the photographs together using layers.

    Create an image with a canvas large enough to display the panorama, then copy each photograph onto a separate layer.
    Decrease the opacity of one layer to see though it as you use the Move tool to match up the edges of the other photograph.
    Do this with each layer, then return the layers to 100 percent opacity.


Paint Shop Pro is now made by Corel, and is on version 11, I believe. It is far less expensive than Photoshop (about $99.00, I think) and can do most of what Photoshop does, for the stuff I do day in and day out, I've been using it for a long time and have never really had a problem. Hope this helps.

If I was to do it using MS Paint, how would I go about doing that? I wanna merge 2 halves so that the outcome is both halves as one pic.

You open the picture in MS paint. Then you expand the right side (ctrl E, or drag the middle of the right side out pretty far, there's a little square you grab onto and expand it). Then click, edit, paste-from, choose the second image, and while it's bordered with the dancing ants, you drag it to the right side and fit it where it goes. The sides may need adjusting to fit around the pic. Control Z is undo.

Hope that helps.

Lemkesoft's GraphicConveter is a great program for such purposes. However there is no Windows version.

No. I decided not to do it.
