Casio do a program called spinorama, you can join jpegs and it makes them into a quicktime movie (if you take enough shots you can do a 360)

Col, you need to create a new blank image to cut and paste the others into...

Obviously, the new image will be much wider...

i have gone

File>New (made it a much longer area), selected my file i want to cut and pase and done "cut" but when i right clic on my new document to "paste" there is no option to do so.

Also i tried "edit" and the option for "paste" leads me on to a sub menue with >as new image, > as new selection> as new layer etc but they are all greyed out ie not available, arrrrghhhhh!

i also tried importing the pictures via File > Import and i get all sorts of options " Scree capture" "twain" "Digital camera" "Plug in import", the digital camera option doesnt do anything either.

f'ing technology!

Rather than cut and paste do a copy and paste....but before that do ctrl-A to select it all first...then ctrl-c....then click the other(new image) and go ctrl-L (new layer)

That "should" work.....

i've not used PSP in years now, but if you continue to have probs, i'll stick them together in photoshop

When you say you selected the file you want to cut and paste, it almost sounds like you did the file in explorer? All you should need to do is make your new image as you did, then for each source image do the following: open it in psp, go to edit, choose copy. Click on your bank image, do edit, paste, new selection. The source image should appear as a floating selection which you can drag to where you want. Go to selections, select none. Repeat for the others, should do the job!

I've got a bundled program that came with my digicam - Canon Photostitch. I've used it a few times for landscapes.

If you think it might be useful, drop me a line.

Cheers,

Neil.
