Post by thread:[OT:]Joining .JPG files together

i am looking for a tool to join 4 jpeg files together to a single jpeg file, in a way like fineprint joins pages together to print them on a single sheet of paper? I need my photos printed as 2x3". as my photo lab only supports 4x6" prints, I would like to send them jpeg files, containing 4 pictures each, to be printed out on a 4x6" photo paper. so I can cut it down to four 2x3" prints afterwards. is there a tool that is able to do this in a very simple way? thanx! tino -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList spam_OUTpiclist-unsubscribe-requestTakeThisOuTmitvma.mit.edu

Maybe something usefull here http://www.wingimp.org/ Otherwise you might try http://www.simtel.net -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList .....piclist-unsubscribe-requestKILLspam@spam@mitvma.mit.edu

You may try http://www.imagemagick.org/ (see the samples at http://www.imagemagick.org/images/examples.jpg), most of the transformations are possible right from command line, which is useful if you have a lot of images to transform There are Linux and Windows versions available. Hope this helps.

Qimage does a great job of this. Get it at <http://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage/> The unregistered version will handle up to 8 or 10 images (I forget which) per page. dwayne -- Dwayne Reid <EraseMEdwaynerspam_OUTTakeThisOuTplanet.eon.net> Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax Celebrating 20 years of Engineering Innovation (1984 - 2004) .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .- `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' Do NOT send unsolicited commercial email to this email address.

Presumably you are using Windows, since you didn't specify. You can do this with Windows Paint, although it is somewhat clumsy. In fact, virtually any graphics program can do this, you simply need to plan it out yourself. You will need to set the aspect ratio of the image you create to map into 4x6, and then simply paste the 4 images onto the new image. You might find that you need to leave a little extra on the edges for your photo shop to bleed over the edge of the page, so you may want to test with one before doing a batch. There are other programs that can make it a little easier, but I think it's going to be a time-intensive exercise no matter what, so if you have a lot of pictures to do, plan on spending some time. If you have more than a couple to print, it may be worthwhile to simply get a newer printer. Windows Picture and Fax viewer, which I think has come with Windows since Windows Me, is capable of printing your 2x3 images on letter size or A4 paper, and the quality from recent inkjet printers is quite good providing you use photo paper. Some of the newer HP printers even guarantee permanance of the prints that is quite a bit better than actual photographs. The paper and ink aren't cheap, but the printers are, and it will be a bunch less work than preparing jpegs for your photofinisher. --McD -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!

The mailing list also talks about the various ICC profiles available for film printers at Costco, Walmart and other large-scale outlets. But a quick email to Mike Channey (Qimage's author) should get you going quickly. RemoveMEsupportTakeThisOuTddisoftware.com Actually, I just re-read what you wrote. I don't think that Qimage generates a new .JPG file, rather, it generates spool files appropriate for the printer at the photo lab. Burn Qimage's output file(s) to a CD and take that to the photo lab. The quality of the resulting images is superb. But it requires that you ask the photo lab which printer they are using first. Common names that I've seen mentioned on the mailing list include: Noritsu, Fuji, Kodak. Other list members use Qimage to generate files for all of these. dwayne -- Dwayne Reid <spamBeGonedwaynerspamBeGoneplanet.eon.net> Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax Celebrating 20 years of Engineering Innovation (1984 - 2004) .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .- `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' Do NOT send unsolicited commercial email to this email address.
