But if you want to make an image that has both pictures in one file, Download " PhotoScape X Pro" it is free and it has a 'combine feature where you can easily drag and drop images then save it.

I'll be looking into the editor Dearborn has suggested, but I just wanted to point out that Irfanview is simple enough that I've been able to stitch together some pretty complex panoramas, like this one:

Looks good, Daltonista.
Too close to bedtime for me to play much with it, but I downloaded and installed.
Pleased to report it didn't complain about my Win7, and appears to be functioning.

Pretty easy learning curve on Irfanview, but I can see its capabilities go beyond what I'll likely use. My first clumsy attempt...  And thanks, Spence!Quote:Yep, right here: https://goccf.com/f/1 Edited by Vector Ze

Yeah, a little sloppy on my cropping, jbuck, but that's something I know how to do better.

I use Photoshop. First I created a background I liked. Then I took both the obverse and reverse shots. I then sized the images so that they would fit my new backdrop. I copied and pasted them into the new backdrop. You must make sure that the DPI of the two coin shots match that of the backdrop. You end up with something like this.  |

I'm new to coin photography and have gotten some good tips here in this subforum.
I have an iPhone 16 and a Windows laptop running Windows 10. I use the iPhone 16 and an app called Yamera to take my pictures. Then I use a combination of the Windows Photos app and GIMP (both free) to get the side-by-sides. I use Photos to crop, resize, and set the background for my obverse/reverse pictures and then use GIMP to stitch them together.
The steps I use are repeatable, and fairly simple. Per coin the process takes maybe 5-10 minutes. Definitely room for improvement but I'd be glad to provide more details if desired.
