Making a composite from several jpg’s

"maurice" wrote in message

Is there a way to make a composite photo made up from several individual jpg’s?? I tried the contact function in Automate but it’s not what I want. If not Photoshop what software??

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I don’t know what "contact function" is, but I make composites all the time, using various techniques, such as cloning, selecting and pasting, layering and erasing. It would help if you described a typical project you want to do.

My wife and I grow roses and I would like to make composite pictures of say a particular family of roses with 2 to 4 different roses from a rose family that would be in one composite jpg instead of having 4 different pictures. The composite enables the viewer to see the similarities in each family of roses. BYW, I use Win XP and my 2 vieweres of choice are ACDSEE andPhotoshop.

Okay–how about this: photograph each separate variety in front of a clearly contrasting and evenly illuminated background. Use the magic selection brush to select and then delete each of the backgrounds. You can now paste each of the varieties over any background of your choosing, for example, a blurred rose garden.

Would that work for you?

Yes, but I am thinking of a piece of software I use to have ( it was comething like Compu ????? something and making a composite was so simple. I have to do a bunch of these for a presentation on roses for my wife and I want to keep it simple… Oh well. guess I’ll do some searching. Thank you for your time and consideration

Maybe you could use the collage feature? From organizer choose the pictures you want to combine and then click create/collage. Follow the instructions to combine them into one and then you can save it as a jpeg. You can also save it as a Photoshop file if you want to come back later and edit it

I have just been looking at something from imikimi.com. It looks fairly simple and seems to be free. Perhaps it will do what you require. As always be careful as I have only had a quick glance at it.

Maybe you could use the collage feature?
