<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 3088863, member: 88829&quot;]@Carausias&nbsp; Since you asked about using Photoshop, I suggest you ignore all the adivce you are getting for other utilities.&nbsp; Let me tweak the advice you got in the quote, because there are a couple of things that have been left unsaid.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. &quot;Make sure both images are same size.&quot;&nbsp; After bringing the images into PS, use the crop tool as needed to make the dimensions of the two sides about the same.&nbsp; choose one image to start, e.g. the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. &quot;Copy 1st image and select &quot;new&quot;.&quot;&nbsp; That is not quite correct.</p><p>Use the &quot;Rectangular marquee tool&quot; to select the crop of whichever image is larger, or choose the obverse, and copy that selection to the clipboard (e.g. &quot;control C&quot;)</p><p><br /></p><p>3. a. In the &quot;File&quot; menu select &quot;new;&quot;&nbsp; this will bring up a screen with info on the dimensions of the new image window/canvas you are about to create. </p><p>b. In the panel for &quot;Width,&quot; double the number you see appearing there.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>c. Click &quot;OK&quot; and this will create a new canvas with the height and width you need.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. a. Paste (&quot;Control V&quot;) your clipboard into that.**</p><p><br /></p><p>b. Select the &quot;Move tool&quot; at the top of the PS toolbar, and drag the obverse image you just pasted in to the left.&nbsp; Your obverse layer is ready.</p><p><br /></p><p>5. For the reverse, I assume you sized it up when you did the cropping in step 1.&nbsp; If not, select its file and crop it to match the obverse.&nbsp; Then perform step 2 on the reverse image.&nbsp; Then go to step 4 for the reverse image.</p><p><br /></p><p>6. When both images are positioned in the new canvas, save the composite image.&nbsp; It will default to a .psd file.&nbsp; Good idea to hang on to that for a bit.&nbsp; Save it again, but &quot;save as&quot; a .jpg.&nbsp; The window that pops up for this save will tell you the size of the image you are making.&nbsp; You can adjust that to meet the demands of the website.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are the basic steps only.&nbsp; Many, many tweaks can be done between these steps to allow you to correct or create whatever effect you want.&nbsp; PS will enable anything you might want to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>**corrected from Control-P.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
