GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 149802
Plug-in to combine images
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Some photo editing programs offer the possibility to combine several images in one page with a preselected layout. An example of this can be seen in http://www.planetphotoshop.com/jim69.html . Similar results can be obtained with the composite method in ImageMagick. Would be nice to have a GIMP plug-in that does something similar.
Isn't this exactly what bug #132532 already asks for?
I'd say so, closing as duplicate, adding the link as a comment to bug #132532. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 132532 ***
I misread what was meant in #132532. My interpretation was that the submitter was asking for a thumbnailing program to create a contact sheet with lots of small images on the web. In Photoshop this is called the 'contact sheet' but what the submitter actually describes sounds more like the 'picture package' in Photoshop. These are two different plug-ins. What I have in mind is the latter.
I don't see why the "picture package" functionality can't live in an "advanced" expander in a to-be-written contact sheet plug-in. Both functionalities would share a huge amount of code and should live in the same plug-in IMHO.
I think it's more the other way around: the sheet functionality is a special case of the `picture package'. See my comments in #132532.
