Create Simple Side by Side Photo with 2 Photos

[Bill Rosmus]

I have a picture of a busy street from before the covid lockdown, and the same street nearly empty after.  I want to put them in the same image side by side (actually I'd like to do an overlay with a slider effect but the side by side is good enough). The problem is I can see a simple solution for this other than to double the width of the canvas and position the images. Is that it?  I see lots for advanced users to compare the same image before and after but not before and after of a view captured by two different images.

Yes, that's a typical approach.

You don't have to double the canvas width, necessarily. You could keep it the same and Place the images at 1/2 size, if you wanted.

Or you could put them one above the other, if you wanted.
