How to make split/2 image photos

[Former_Member]

Morning!
I'm working on better photos (long way to go!), and I was hoping someone could help?
I love the phots where the screen is split showing two images-front/back, full body/close up... Is this a Photoshop/editing thing, or a camera thing?

Thanks so much!

Hi Jody! It's called a diptych, and it's something you have to do in Photoshop. You basically open the two images you want, make a new file that is the same height and the two widths added together (plus a little if you want a white space between) and save as a single image. Hope that helps! :)

You can also use picmonkey.com for free and it is easy.

Picasa also has this feature under "collages". It's also free, and you can do all kinds of editing. I just learned how to use it and I like it! Good luck!

Thanks William. I never knew about that.

Picmonkey.com - click on the "collage" button on their front page and add as many split images as you'd like!
