Help! - Turning word doc to JPeg and Paint

Can anyone Assist me?.

I want to put 2 or more of my scanned drawing into Paint so I can play with the colours.
At this stage I have mastered putting one in but can't seem to figure out putting 2 in side by side eg Katse drawing to make a full face.
Can anyone assist?

Also to make the collage I save my drawing in a word doc (silly me) and PDF to get all the drawing together, now I want to do some playing with then and save them in one pictures or jpec ( they are all saved individually as jpec)
Is there a way to save them all on 1 or 2 pages without having to put them in a word doc???

I want to put them on deviant art but not individually.

Thank you so much (signed computer challenged LW)

I can't help you much with Paint -that's a program that I've never used.

I know that I could use Photoshop to put all your pics into one jpeg without having them be in a Word doc. First, I'd create a "new" image in Photoshop, making sure its pixel-by-pixel size is large enough to contain all the individual pics. Then, I'd individually copy and paste all the jpeg images onto the large new image. Then, they could be moved around anyway one saw fit (and played with individually too, as each one would be on its own separate "layer"), and ultimately the whole thing could be saved as one jpeg image.

If Paint is anything akin to Photoshop, you might be able to do something like this.

If you can't, I could do it for you in Photoshop.

Nope - Paint just doesn't have the right set of tools to permit merging multiple pictures. It will allow you to manipulate sections of one picture - by cut and paste.

Big hairy hammer method (assuming you are working in Windows)-
1) Open your Word file
2) Maximize the window
3) Position and size your Word document so that the pictures are visible on the screen
4) Use the [Alt-PrntScrn] key combination to capture a bitmap of your Word window to temporary storage (this works to capture just the active program window - rather than the full screen)
5) Open Paint
6) Paste (Cntl-V) the captured picture to Paint
7) Manipulate the single image as you desire
Save the resulting picture from Paint

Alternatively -
If you want - send the file to me with the pictures in it, and I can put them together (Photoshop or Gimp... I've got both).

Just a thought -

Gimp is Open Source (no cost) and does everything you might want to learn for the first year or more - Beats US$$$ for Photoshop CS5 - even the academic version is more than US$100.

That way you can experiment, learn, and basically get up to speed while saving for the Adobe package.

If you cannot get on with Gimp try Paint.Net its a free graphics editor and its pretty good.

I hope you are successful LW. I look forward to seeing what you manage to produce with the new knowledge you pick up.

I have wondered about learning Photoshop this year, but since I am not much of an artist I am not sure how much I will be able to fully utilize the program.
