several images combined in a single file
Dear All,
I am using GIMP 2.6.1 on Ubuntu 8.10
I wonder if there is a way to combine a few images in one file, so that they will be placed side by side (something like tiles) in columns spanning across several rows? All images are of the same size which is predefined (7cm x 7cm). I want to print them as a single file.
It looks like a trivial problem, but I cannot find a solution.
Suggestions?
Thank you in advance, Olga

How many images?
Say there are 10 images and you want two rows.
File->New and set the size of the new image to 35cmx14cm and white background
Then add 10 layers, name the layers picture1-picture10
Go to your first image and copy it
Select the first layer and paste it
Then position it
The anchor it
Then do image 2 on layer 2 as the active layer etc until all is done

IMO this problem is better dealt with by ImageMagick, which has a 'montage' command for this purpose.

If you do it this way, I suggest setting up the grid and enabling 'snap to grid' first :)

You can use the "File->Open As Layers" command to open multiple into one image as separate layers.
Second, I wrote a Script-fu a while back which adds a command ("Filters->Map->Mosaicize") which will arrange all of the layers in grid. The script automatically determines the number of rows and colors (attempting to keep the resulting image as square as possible) and will center each layer within a "cell" sized just large enough to ensure that no layers overlap.
None of the original layers are modified, they are just moved around. A background layer (filled with gray) is created which will provide "framing" around any layers which are smaller than the layer's cell.
The script can be downloaded from http://flashingtwelve.brickfilms.com/GIMP/Scripts/mosaicize.scm

If the OP's intention is just to place images in a matrix, I would also
suggest inkscape for the job. Placing and moving around is much easier
in inkscape.

What you are describing is the job of a page layout program. You might want to try Scribus.

Thank you all for your suggestions! It took me quite a while to try everything out. Here are some preliminary results and further questions.

It seems like a reliable and rather straightforward approach, but it is probably a bit tedious for 30 images?

I have added the script, and tried it out. It works fine, but my images have predefined 'print size' which is 5.5cmx5.5cm but different 'pixel size'. So I get a matrix with images of different size. I am not sure how to go about this problem? Can I explicitly control the size of the input (5.5cmx5.5cm) and the output (A4,21cmx29.7cm)?

Just a quick try. I need more searching on how to do it. Do I have a control over size as described above?

Same as above.

It is my preferred option. It seems that I can specify the size of input
and output.
I have tried the following:
montage input file1.jpg file2.jpg file3.jpg ... file12.jpg output1.jpg
montage input file13.jpg file14.jpg file15.jpg ... file24.jpg
output2.jpg
montage input file25.jpg file25.jpg file27.jpg ... file30.jpg
output3.jpggimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU
I want to get 2 full A4 with 3x4 and one half full with 3x2
I want to specify -size geometry 5.5cmx5.5cm and -page geometry
21cmx29.7cm, -tile geometry 3x4 (and 3x2 for the last output). However
the only option is the size of the image in pixels and not cm. How to
deal with it? What would be the correct syntax?
Thank you all for your help!
Regards,
Olga

It does have controls to resize and move objects, etc. Why don't you
give it a try? Sorry, if I have missed it : What is the OS you are
using? Inkscape is available for both GNU/Linux and MS Windows. Have a
look at http://inkscape.org.

I am using Ubuntu 8.10
My problem is solved, I have done it manually using Inkscape.
Still searching for more elegant solution though...

As Sven said, looks like you really should use Scribus. There are two available versions. 1.3.3.12 which is stable and 1.3.5-svn which is the development version
I suggest you try and get the 1.3.5 version as it will be ok for photo layouts, but more importantly, has inbuilt filters to touch up photos, (or you can still us the gimp)
