If you need to change the image format to use a pic, try Irfanview: http://www.irfanview.com/
It's free, and you get some filters too. You need to download the plug-ins, but they're free too.

Dave Gilly has windows 2000 and i have both that and XP the paint in 2000 wont except jpg files and the xp does. So thats why Gilly is having a prob.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #17 on:** June 13, 2007, 22:14:03 PM »

Thanks will remember you can do it but I am no good at this stuff and if there is no instructions I am lost and dont have time to just play and on this have no idea where to start.

In the help it refers to his website but doent give an addy. I need food I am so fed up with Paint and now this grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Thanks anyway.

DaveD · « **Reply #16 on:** June 13, 2007, 22:02:34 PM »

Jpegs do work, but I think the problem is with the resolution of the pic. I usually use Paint Shop Pro, and that tells you what the problem is - Photofiltre can do most of the same jobs, but as it's free the documentation isn't as good as it could be.
If you need any such jobs done in a hurry, and I'm on-line, by all means give me a shout, but if there's no rush you'll probably have time to figure it out.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #15 on:** June 13, 2007, 21:51:32 PM »

Its obvious cos just found help and it will not accept jpegs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How silly is that grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

So what format are your pictures in if you can get em into this Filter?

No its OK thanks I wanted to put two pics together when I help Cat Chat on rehoming and I thought this would be great but thanks for the offer.

DaveD · « **Reply #14 on:** June 13, 2007, 21:45:57 PM »

Twain is for getting images from scanners etc., so it's not that. I bet it's something so obvious we'll both kick ourselves!

If you're in a hurry for this merged image, you can email the pics to me if you like. I can use Photofiltre, to see what the problem is and email the result back, or if that doesn't work I can use Paint Shop Pro!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #13 on:** June 13, 2007, 21:44:14 PM »

OK have got a picture iinto Paint but not by pasting it had to be sorter imported from where it was! It was a jpeg. maybe thats why I cant paste them cos they not bmp?

However cant do it with Filter cos it wont let me.

Gill
dont know if this is any help but when I tried to copy purringo card into paint it wouldnt,so I saved the card to My documents and then opened it in paint and it worked a treat.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #11 on:** June 13, 2007, 21:38:27 PM »

No that didnt work either..........I can see twain mentioned in the menues.......you dont need twain do you? Cos dont have it on this machine.

Paste is greyed out both in Paint and in Filter.......Filter looks like a nice programme too grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #10 on:** June 13, 2007, 21:35:11 PM »

No not patronizing and I am sure that its gota be something basic but cant see what cos I have posted stuff into Paint before but cant do that either!!

I cant tell if picture copied but it would normally and it was a jpeg, i will try and get it a differebnt way.

I was also trying to get a pdf file into paint but cant do that either,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I am feeling really dumb and stupid. Cant change the foramt cos it doesnt work.

I made the canvas size much bigger than the picture just in case but there is no help on the programme. All my pics are jpegs cept the stuff that has come to me in adobe which I cant do anything with at all but sems like everone else can!

DaveD · « **Reply #9 on:** June 13, 2007, 21:29:32 PM »

And are you sure it was the pic you copied? (I hope none of this sounds patronising - they're mistakes I've made!

)
Also it might make a difference if the pic is the wrong format - Jpegs for example should be OK.
And it might be an idea to double check the size of the canvas - that's another mistake I've made in the past!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #8 on:** June 13, 2007, 21:14:13 PM »

yes lol

DaveD · « **Reply #7 on:** June 13, 2007, 21:06:36 PM »

Did you left click on the canvas first, to make it active? If the pic you copied is still active it won't paste to itself.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #6 on:** June 13, 2007, 20:56:26 PM »

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr think my brain has died!

I have open a canvas and a picture and taken copy of picture but cant get paste to ungrey itself....helppppppppppppppp

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #5 on:** June 13, 2007, 20:39:30 PM »

Thanks Dave will download it then

DaveD · « **Reply #4 on:** June 13, 2007, 18:47:02 PM »

Yes, you just open a new canvas, or a background pic, big enough for the pics you want to use, open the pics, and copy/paste them onto the background.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #3 on:** June 13, 2007, 18:39:36 PM »

Daxe will that freebie software allow you to put 2 pictures side by side .......I also have no software to do this in for rehoming?

Milly can you do that in paint?

Mutter mutter mutter, maybe I dont have paint......off to check!!

DaveD · « **Reply #2 on:** June 13, 2007, 15:51:15 PM »

Photofiltre isn't bad. http://www.download.com/PhotoFiltre/3000-2192_4-10634969.html

Millys Mum · « **Reply #1 on:** June 13, 2007, 15:41:34 PM »

Since i managed to delete paint i have no software to join two pics together to post a pair of cats for rehoming

Any suggestions of what free software will do the same whilst i try to recover what i deleted?
