I want to place two images side by side ( or over under ) and make one image.
So it uses only one image posting here at murga-linux, easier to view.

It seems a simple thing to do, but mtPaint isn`t intuitive in it`s operation.
Scoured Google but no help doing this.

Do you use two layers? But I think I`ve done it before much easier than that.

Easier to post the images an do it for you than tell you how. Earlier mtpaint was tricky. Now it is easier. Inkscape may be a try also.

Try this open two instances of mtpaint with the seperate images in each. Then selection> all then edit> export to clipboard system. Then import into the next mtpaint instance. Will elaborate if need more clues. {Typing via phone.}

You`re probably right, "Select All" works with the box thing,
but the "Export Clipboard to System" menu item is grayed out.

I`ve done this before, there`s probably a few ways to do it.

Ok. after select all, you have to do an edit>copy before the edit>export.
can be done just did this in lupu529

Dear wjaguar,

It works like a charm - as you said. Nekotoriye iz nas blagodarny....nekotoriye ne poymut.. Zhyzn' takaya.

Thanks, vovchik


PS.Have a look at: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=70058. I did it just for fun.

So far we have a consensus 4 out of 4 find it not intuitive. Still took me some minutes even with the correct instructions. And this is from computer savvy users. How do you think newbies will fare?

Many thanks to all the responders.

In another post I was just remarking how few docs. there are for so much.

Geee... I wonder why M$ Weeners dominates the world?
