Help. How Do I Post 2 Different Pics Side By Side

I just tested it out, and was able to have side by side. If the image coding are on the same line, it should work it their window is large enough. For me, these are side by side on full screen window, stacked on smaller windows.

EDIT - the menu on the left makes the display size too small

That depends on what postprocessing software you're using; the procedure differs.

I just opened Paint as an experiment - never tried it before with Paint - and was able to merge two images. Here's what I did:

First, have your two images ready and saved at the size you know you'll be posting. Keep in mind, you'll want either your CCF Gallery (you don't have one, but you're eligible, it's free and I'll arrange for you to get one) or offsite hosting. The standard forum upload won't let you post an image like this at any usable size. The CCF Gallery limits you to a maximum of 800 pixels in any direction, so with it a merged image of two coins can only be a maximum of about 400 pixels tall and that's iffy for grading estimates. This is one problem with two-coin merges - to be gradable they're going to be pretty big.

So, you have your two images ready to use. Open a new, blank canvas in Paint. Drag the horizontal and vertical edges (grab the center, not the corner) to a size equal to your combined images. Do "Paste From" to grab the first (obverse) image; it'll place itself appropriately at the left end of your canvas. Do a second Paste From to grab the second (reverse) image; when it hits the canvas it will be "Selected" and you can immediately move it to the right side of the canvas.

Save the result, and you're in business. That's all it takes.

Yeah, the key is having the box sized right before you dump anything into it.

I use the Gimp myself, exclusively, but for someone who isn't already expert with postprocessing software it has a pretty steep learning curve.

I use Paint on my side-by-side stiched images and photobucket compresses it and makes it fit;



this image is 700 x 475 pixels at 1183092 bytes, compressed to fit on CCF, working around the 100K image limit.

When you click to enlarge it is 1024 x 694 pixels at 1183092 bytes.

The original merged BMP in Paint is alot bigger!

Put a semicolon ; at the end of the first imgage command line.
After entering the second image command line back it
up till it begins at the end of the first command line.Just past
semicolon.
This will force the photos side by side.
I tried to type example on how it should look' but it weirded
out on me and I had to delete it.
This works for photos stored on this website.I assume uploaded
photos from other storage uses same command lines,it should work.
