i have a question about this picture app
i remember when i was using windows, i was able to merge one picture with another. i cant seem to do that with this app. i can still edit but there are limitations compared to what i was able to do on my HP years ago. Is there a way to merge 2 photos in one on any Apple device?
iPad, iPadOS 16
Depends on what you want to do.
If you want to paste an image on top of another image, you could you Applications -> Preview.
If you want to create a collage images, I would take a screen shot of anything. Use Preview to resize the screenshot to the dimensions you want. Select All, and delete the screenshot contents. You now have a blank canvas. Copy and Paste the other images you want to use in creating your collage.
If you want something that provides layers that you can individually manipulate, then get GIMP https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ which is a free download.
There are other paid 3rd party image editors available. Just Google "macOS images editing"
Of course there are, but not with Photos. There are many 3rd party photo editors that will composite images. Search on the App Store.
Collages are even easier with Pages, just saying...
Hey there! I totally get where you're coming from with the picture editing. On Windows, merging pictures was a breeze, and it can be a bit different on Apple devices. However, there are still ways to achieve what you're looking for.
For merging two photos on an Apple device, you might want to explore the capabilities of third-party apps. One app that comes to mind is Remini. It's a powerful photo editing tool available for iOS, and it might offer the features you're missing from your Windows experience.
Give Remini a shot! It's user-friendly and has a range of editing options, including merging and blending photos. You can easily find it on the App Store. Once you've installed it, navigate to the editing options and look for features related to merging or combining photos. It might be labeled as a collage or overlay feature.
Remember, the interface might be a bit different from what you're used to on Windows, but with a bit of exploration, you should be able to find the right tools. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything specific you're trying to achieve with your merged photos!
It is the "Hammer" syndrome, and everything looks like a Preview "Nail" 🔨. I spend more time using Preview to annotate screenshots that I then post in Slack at work, or in these forums, or an occasional email for friends and family, that my brain just thinks Preview. I rarely write documents, so my Pages, Numbers, Keynote use is very rare.
