Move the layers until they no longer overlap. You can now move the layers that is selected in the layers dialog. Choose Tools, Transform tools, and next Move.Choose View, and select snap to canvas edges, that way you can align the images correctly.You now want to move these layers so that they no longer overlap. The image itself has become quite messy with the two images overlapping. Now choose File, Op en as Layers and open file2.jpeg.Īt this point you see two layers in the Layers dialog.Next choose Windows, then Dockable Dialogs, then Layers.One option would be to check the images x dimension in terms of pixels and expand by that much in the direction required. If afterwards it turns out the canvas was not big enough you can always make it bigger so that both images fit. Make sure there is enough space for both file1 and file2. You can now expand the canvas in the direction you like. Save file1.jpeg in the native Gimp format.Next move the layers so that they do not overlap. The idea is to extend the canvas, add the second image as a layer. So file2.png would be fine too.Īs a matter of background you can think of the Gimp image as a number of layers over a canvas. They can be different formats than jpeg, and they do not need both to have the same format. So you have two files: file1.jpeg and file2.jpeg. I still provide it because the above did not directly lead to success. My answer is very much like the previous answer.
