This is remarkably
easy to do. many thanks to CH Ling for showing the way.
The object of
the exercise is to arrange two long(er) skinny images within one image
so that when printed at 12 x 18 inches (or 18 x 12 - take your pick),
the resultant 18 x 12 can be sliced in half to provide two frmeable
images.
Process, starting with FastStone Image Viewer
Select a
suitable image (that's the difficult part). and using the CROP module,
crop out a suitable part at a height of no more than 1165 pixels. Carry
out any needed colour, contrast etc modifications at this point ( but
not sharpening), add copyright if needed, and a margin using the margin
module.
Repeat for the next pair.
Close FastStone, and open
Irfanview. Go to IMAGE, select CREATe PANORAMA IMAGE, select VERTICAL,
and add the two images. Add a space between them if desired (<space>
option. Then save the result.
Open FastStone, and sharpen the combined
image ( I used USM - to be found by <right-click> in the image, under
COLOURS) as desired, and save.
Job done. Quite quick, really.
