cobrablue Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hi, I have 2 black and white vintage photographs that I want to use for a 6"x9" book cover. Now imagine that you had these 2 photos in your hand and you slid one photo under the other until you found the desired balance between the 2 for the book cover. You can do this easily on Instagram in Photo Layout in a vertical or horizontal layout of choice when creating a post. (I wish it were as easily done on Affinity). And I just went through a whole mess of complicated videos at the Affinity Vimeo site and couldn't find anything to help me. If yall can easily explain how to do what I mentioned in the first paragraph, I'd surely appreciate it. Cobra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnobelix Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Hello @cobrablue, Welcome to this forum.Maybe this video by James Ritson will help Creating_Photo_Collages_(Affinity_Photo).mp4 Quote Affinity Photo 2.3.1: Affinity Photo 1.10.6: Affinity Designer 2.3.1: Affinity Designer 1.10.6: Affinity Publisher 2.3.1: Affinity Publisher 1.10.6: Windows 11 Pro (Version 23H2 Build (22631.3007) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrablue Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Thanks, but I've already seen this video. What I need to do is to take 2 photos and put them side by side seamlessly. (In the Ritson video, unless I'm mistaken, the images end up being separated by white spacing.) I've attached a photo that I posted on Instagram to visually explain what I'm trying to do on Affinity Photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobrablue Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 I followed the above steps. The 2 images don't appear on the screen, just in the dialogue box at the right. . I've attached a screenshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyJack Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Judging by what we can see of the image (...the grey is made up of exactly 6x9 "blocks") AND the fact that the document is at 9,011% magnification, is it possible that you have created a 6x9 inch document at 1 DPI ... OR.... a 6x9 pixel document at 300 DPI (or at any dpi for that matter )? Either way, if you switch to View > Pixel Size it'll bet it's minuscule. Try again with inches and 300 DPI.
