I have two jpeg images that I can arrange to have the same height. I want to combine then into a single image of the two, side by side. I cannot seem to find a way to do this in GIMP.
Any ideas?
Roughly:
open one image. extend canvas to w*2 x h open the other image. select all. copy. paste into first image, move selection to place at the right location. save.Something like this. Did that about a year ago and worked. Hope that helps.

Yes, I tried that but after extending the canvas you get the chequerboard area in the 'spare' bit and when you paste and move the second image in it disappears behind the chequerboard - so I am on the right lines but doing something wrong.
Thanks for your help. Cheers ian
If it's not absolutely essential to use the GIMP, you could try the 'montage' program from the ImageMagick suite. See:
man montage
(assuming you have ImageMagick installed, as one typically has by default). This is straightfoward to use, and does not at all depend on dexterity with the mouse!

Thanks Ted for the example. It works a treat. I am a very occasional graphics user and it still astonishes me how simple things are so difficult to achieve in a GUI app. I only use GIMP because I know no better.
Cheers
