I half expect someone to say how easy this is but I'm trying to join three photos together to form one jpg file. Easy to do in OO. In GIMP, I have no idea and the tutorial page doesn't seem to say anything on the topic. Help.

Bev, If it is simply a case of placing images side-by-side to form one single image (without trying to arrange overlap or alignment or rotation) then I would use (and often have used) the ImageMagick program 'montage'. See 'man montage' for the many options.
For overlap, the ImageMagick program 'composite' can be used, but you would probably end up having to try it several times over to get the desired result. Even more so if one needs to rotate or vertically shift some of the photos to get it right.
However, if it is a matter of getting them all onto one single frame and then manipulating them (shift, rotate, etc.) until it all looks right, then I think one has to get into the GIMP. As it happens, I am facing this problem myself right now (a panoramic set of photos which I want to turn into a single panorama), and like you I have not managed to suss out how to get the GIMP to cooperate with me!
So I'll be very interested in what other have to say.
Ted.
