How do I merge four pictures into one?

[Krystal1978]

I have looked everywhere and done everything I can think of and still can't get my pictures to merge into one. Can someone help me out, please??? I am in desperate need of the solution to this. I have saved all four pictures into my pictures folder and have been trying to use Microsoft Word 2013 program. It would be greatly appreciated if someone can help me out.

Hi,

I can't see how you can merge 4 images in one. But you can use any image editor software (incuding default Windows Paint) to put 4 images to one canvas and save as one image (with 4 images). I used Paint to creat the following image:

To do what your doing would be something like photoshop and that is a Adobe program and of which HP and HP user forum has nothing to do with pictures and what you want help on?

Hello Krystal,

Actually, if you mean you are trying to create several images onto one print, HP actually does have a solution for that.

Its call HP Photo Creations.

It has an easy to use interface that will let you create a collage from one of its many templates, or let you create your own.

Then you can print the image from your own printer.

Very good then.

I should also mention this is a free program. If you need tutorials, here is the link to the RocketLife Youtube page that explains how to use the software.

Insider Tour with the Design Team - YouTube

As I mentioned, to print a project from your printer is free and no other downloads are needed.

If you require to save your project as a High Res file for printing at a store or print shop, a plug in is required. It is a one time fee of $3.99 to install it.

The Image Export Feature - YouTube

There is also a Premium feature that can be unlocked also for another fee as explained in the tutorial.

But you might not require them at the moment.

Try it out to see if it works for you.

Hi Krystal.

HP Photo Creations offers three ways to combine photos.

1. Multi-up prints are similar to what Banhien showed. They place a number of photos side by side on the page in a grid. The Insider Tour video Ray mentioned shows multi-ups around 12:32.
2. Collage prints combine up to 60 items on a page, including photos, text, and graphics. You can add borders to the photos as well. HP Photo Creations offers hundreds of collage print templates. You can also design your own.
3. The rub-through brush lets you erase part of a photo to reveal another photo underneath, blending them. You can layer multiple photos this way.

This video shows the rub-through brush at 13:18. We erase a cloudy sky from a photo to reveal a sunny one.

Here's another video on making collage prints:

Let us know what you want to do in more detail and we can suggest a path.

Hope this helps,

If you doing side by side the standard software will do but if your using the word "MERGE' as like landscapes shots in one continous picture then no the standard software will not do that. Only software similiar to Photoshop or Photoshop Elements are able to  "MERGE" continous photos into one shot. So if that is the case your situation standard photo software aren't able to do this.

Hi PeerOne.

A fourth way to blend photos in HP Photo Creations is by adding a soft border to them. (Click the photo, then click the Borders button and select the soft border preset.) I've used that to extend backgrounds and merge multiple photos of a landscape. The image below shows three similar photos with soft borders layered over a zoomed version of one of the photos.

With the Premium Editing Features upgrade, you can adjust the width of the borders for more blending options.

Hope this helps,
