- @C1@c@b@_ Image Merge
-
- To merge/concatenate two or more images to form a single image.
-
- @b Interaction
-
- Click on Image2M to load the image to be merged.
-
- Click on the appropriate alignment buttons for the merging location.
- By default, images are concatenated with empty region filled with a
- fill color, changeable by clicking on the FillColor button.
-
- The slider on the bottom of the control panel controls the separation
- from the current image, thus a negative value will merge the image into
- the current image. For the overlapping part, by default, the new image
- overwrites the current image. Click on the top/bottom button to
- change this default.
-
- Other operations for the overlapping part is possible by clicking
- on the topmost box on the right side of the control panel. Current
- operations include (A: current image. B: image to be merged)
-
- @f OverWrite: B
- @f Add: Min(B+A, 255)
- @f Sub: Max(B-A, 0)
- @f Diff: Abs(B-A)
- @f XOR: B^A
- @f Mask: B?B:A
-
- Exchange A&B when top/bottom setting is bottom.
-
- The auto placement can be disabled by click on the Manual button,
- then use mouse, ijkl or arrow keys to change the merge location.
-
- Click on Merge button to initiate merging. By default, all alignment
- is against the original image. To update alignment referenc, click
- on UpdateSize button.
-
- Click on Done to finish.
-
- @b Note
- 1. Resulting image will always be in RGB.
- 2. You can merge the same image repeatedly.
- 3. The size update can be a little tricky, for example, to concatenate
- four identically sized images, the only way (without manual
- placement) to do it is to concatenate the first two then update
- size, do the remaining two without size update.
