How to Combine & Merge Photos in GIMP
The Gimp image editing software program can combine multiple images into a single image. When you open the program, three windows are visible: the Toolbox window, the main image window and the Dock window. As you add each photo to the main image, they appear added as layers. Each layer shows in the Dock window and you can edit each one individually.
