Digital Image Manipulation

[TPCShauna]

I am looking for software that will allow me to take several photos and combine them into one large image and then print that image.

I don't want to do digital scrapping per se but would like to manipulate my images to make photo collages for some of my pages.

Any ideas of software that will work for this?

Open irfanview
Image, Create Panarama image, select horizontal or vertical, then select your images, repeat as needed


For the above image I created a Panarama image horizontal with epcot and MK and saved it. Then I created another horizontal one with AK and Studios and saved it. Then I created a vertical one with both of those images.
It's a lot easier then it sounds, lol. Just make sure all the pics you start with are the same size.

The other program I use a lot is Printmaster - my latest version I bought at Staples on a clearance shelf for $9.99. You can layer photos and even crop them into different shapes.
