Photoshop Help, Please? (Combining Photos)

Rather than walk you through that, I would recommend you do what I do. Post the first pic for free in the auciton, then upload the rest of your pics to Photobucket or whatever hosting site you use and copy the html link to each photo, after writing your description, click html and paste the html link to each photo into the description. Poof! Free high res photos of your item in the description of your auction. Hope this helps.

Great Idea bjones...Thanks

With the full version of Photoshop you can automate that process if images are the same width and height, otherwise; it is much like the manual process above.

I want to point out one step when increasing the size of the canvas, select enlarge the canvas either to right or left, therefore the first image is always flush to either left or right, so there's no need to move the first image position.

I find the best program to use is GIMP - Its free, and easy to use.

You can do the same thing CB did above with Photoshop.
Open the the first pic then select the elliptical marquee tool.
It should be the second one down on your tools.
If the rectangular marquee tool is showing click and hold down your mouse on it then select the other tool when it shows up.
If your tools are not showing go to window/ Tools at the bottom of the list.
Use the marquee tool to draw a circle around the coin.
Then go to Select/inverse this will select the background around the coin after that push delete on your keyboard.
The background will vanish and change to a color, depending on what color is showing at the bottom of your toolbar, normally black or white.
Then go Image/canvas size,double your width but click the arrows below to make it double to the right.
Now repeat step one on the second picture but once you draw the circle around the coin got to Edit/Copy then Edit/Paste on the first image.
Now both images should be on the first pic.
You can use your arrows to put it in the proper place. Or click and slide with your mouse.
Once you have it in place you need to flatten the image. Should be a box on your desktop that says layers. If not go to Window/layers and it will show up.
There is a small arrow on the layers box[upper right] click to see the Flatten Image command.
Then just save it and its done.

I know looks like War and Peace but when you do it a few thousand times it becomes second nature.
Hope some of this makes since.

P.S. if you make a mistake along the way just push Apple/Z to undo your last move.

Your a quick learner. Looks good. It will get faster the more you do it, like anything else practice,practice,practice.
Feel free to pm me if you have any other problems.

slyants, If you are in Photoshop just go to the upper left and select image, in the drop down menu select image size, then a little box will show up and you can reduce size by changing your dpi or the size of your image. At the top of the grey box it should tell you your current size in kb or mb.
From that point if you scroll up about three post I gave instructions on how to do what lobby did to his pics.
If you are not in Photoshop you will just have to fish around and find the tool that adjust you pic size.
