Combining images into
One image
If you have an image that you want to add
another image or a name to - you would need to take a white background to http://magick.net4tv.com/MagickStudio/scripts/MagickStudio.cgi
The white background and other items that you will need for this project
are at the bottom of this article. Just right click and save them to your
computer.
When you go to the Net4TV site, on the first page, click on
"browse" or "choose" and find your white background.
Click on it and then click "open". Now click "view".
Wait for the next page and your image to appear. I like to use a larger
background, so I go up to "resize" and then click on
"double" and then press the "resize" button - not the
resize tab. On the next page, click on the "composite tab" up
top. Again click on "choose" or "browse" and this time
find your image (like the rose), click on it and then click
"open". Now, set your "gravity" options to
"south" and then click on the "composite" button - not
the composite tab up top. All the other options should be left alone.
When your image appears - click on the "composite" tab up top
and wait for the next page. Now click on the "choose" or
"browse" button and this time find your other image or name
(like on mine, Linda). Click on it and then click "open". Now
set the "gravity" option for "southeast" and click the
"composite" button - not the composite tab up top. When the
images appear, you need to decide if you want to move them. On mine, I
wanted my name a little closer to the rose - so, I clicked the
"back" button and set the location numbers a little different. I
think it ended up being something like +25+0. You can also put in minus
numbers - depending on which way you want the objects to move. The first
+0 moves the object from left to right. The second +0 moves the object up
and down. The more you use this feature, the easier it will be to
calculate what to put in - but, you usually just have to fine tune it as
you go by clicking the back button and resetting the numbers. Be careful
though and only work with one number at a time.
For instance get it either horizontal or vertical first and then work on
the other. Don't try to change both numbers at the same time or you will
get confused as to which number is moving the object and in which
direction. After you get it exactly where you want it, click on the
"output" tab up top and wait for the next page. Now click on the
"output" button - not the "output" tab. When the next
page comes in, there will be a large image usually with smaller images
below it. Wait for the page to fully load (and also on each page before -
if you don't, it can mess up the image). When it does load, left click on
the large image and this will bring it up on a page by itself. Then right
click on it and save it to your computer.
After I get the image finished here, I take it and do a "smart
crop" and also set the transparency. To do that, go to www.gifworks.com
and then click on "file" and then "file open". Under
"method 2" click on "browse" and then find your image,
click on it and then click "open". Now click on "upload
image". When your image appears, click on "edit" and then
go down to "resize/crop" and then to "smart crop".
Click on that and wait for your new image to appear. When it does, you can
either save it or what I do, is go ahead and set the transparency. Go to
"edit" and then to "add transparency". A box will come
up and you click on the white background and then wait for your new image.
When it appears, go up to "file" and then "save" and
wait for it to appear. When it does, right click and then save it to your
computer.
