Yes, this is the way I usually do it in gimp. Take image A, image -> canvas size -> (unlink x and y) -> expand the canvas enough to fit image B -> layer to image size (if you haven't found this yet you get there by: either right-click layer in layers dialogue or right-click the image and use the "layer" context menu) -> go to image B and select all (or as much as you need) -> copy (have to use ctl-c as ctl-insert doesn't work in gimp -- or edit menu, of course) -> back to image A -> paste -> move the pasted image to required location and anchor (or new layer if you don't want to merge them finally yet because one needs rotating slightly to match up). -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
