Editing Photos - Side by Side

m5ex9oqjawdg2i

Hey all,

I thought this was going to be easy but it's becomming a real chore.

Just looking to get two images cropped into one image in Lightroom 5. Trying to google it and I cannot find any info on how to do this. The original image would be the left half and the new image would be the right half. It should look like a complete image and not two separate images side by side.

Does that make sense? Any ideas on how this can be done?

Cheers

Are the photos from a cam phone or on a pc? I have an android app called PS Touch and it allows me to do the editing on my phone. This is handy as most of the pics I take nowadays are on my phone.

You could probably achieve something like this in the print module and then "print" the result to a jpeg file. I've never done exactly what you're talking about in Lightroom before, but it may be worth investigating.

It would take about 30 seconds to do it in Photoshop to be honest.

A super cheap way out would be this:

1. Display the two images side by side in Lightroom
2. Take a screen shot and create new image
3. Open new image in LR and crop.

I don't use lightroom, so not sure if there is an actual way to combine images.

Yea I have tried it in the print area of LR5, but it the image is not the true left/right side of the image. When I crop the image, it doesn't lock and it looks like it's the exact same image side by side instead of one continued image. I have Photoshop on the work computer, might give it a try although I have very little experience with PS.

Not sure about LR, but you can do in PS like this (maybe it is simialr in LR). Create a new image, copy both of them into it, crop the one you don't need.

You can do this in Lightroom, it will just take a bit of playing around with the Layout margins.

- In the Library view, pick you two images (these will have to be the same size/crops)
- Click on the Print Module and change it to the following settings (you may need to tweak these a little). You might be a bit limited on the exact size you want to make the prints due to the margins.




Then just save the file as a jpg and you're done.

As most people have said, if you have photoshop it will take you two seconds to do this. Export the photos from lightroom, bring one into photoshop, go to image->canvas and add 100% to either side of that image and then copy/paste in the second image.

Make sure you don't have this clicked

Will MS paint allow you to make a blank image the size you need then open it in lightroom and paste the two photos in?

I've never used lightroom so I don't know what kind of restrictions it has.

Thanks KJT, I will try that when I get home

I tried fiddling around with MS paint too Scumlord but I couldn't manage to get the results I wanted.
