    What's the quickest way to join 2 images into 1 either side-by-side or over-and-under?

    I typically have the following immediately available: GIMP, Paint.net , Irfranview, Picasa 3, FastStone Capture, FotoSketcher, ImageMagick, Windows Paint.

    Hi

        Serif's PanoramaPlus X4 works well for me (http://www.serif.com/AllProducts/Software/PhotoEditing/PanoramaPlusX4.htm ) - which came with my PhotoPlus X4. Serif has a free version of PanoramaPlus X4 (http://www.serif.com/FreeDownloads/ ), just in case you'd like to try it before you actually buy it!

        I don't own stock in Serif's stuff, but I love their software - to me it's the best bang for the buck (SketchUp aside!). I've been a Serif user since the late '80's.

          Thanks.

          I think I've worked out a pretty good solution using ImageMagick. ImageMagick is a very powerful image toolset, but runs from the command-line and has a incredible number of options.

          It turns out the tiling images problem has been solved multiple times, and I found a nice .bat file I could modify. Place the .bat file shortcut in your Send-To context menu, select some images and Send them to the batch file. That's it.

          The .bat looks like this, and can handle up to 9 selected images. ImageMagick does a good job guessing the best way to tile them.

          
          montage -geometry +0+0 %9 %8 %7 %6 %5 %4 %3 %2 %1  tmpimg.png
          start tmpimg.png
          
          

          Hi

            More ImageMagick tricks:

            Convert a folder of .png's into an animated gif:
            $ convert -delay 20 -loop 0 *.png animation.gif

            Convert a folder of .png's into .jpg's:
            $ mogrify -format jpg *.png

            Convert a folder of .jpg's into a .mpg movie:
            $ convert *.jpg movie.mpg

            Create a single vertical image "stack" from a group of images:
            $ montage -tile 1x *.jpg vertical.jpg

            Create a single horizontal image from a group of images:
            $ montage -tile x1 *.jpg horizontal.jpg

            Create a contact sheet from a group of images:
            $ montage *.png sheet.png

            Hi
