| Ok, I'm here to learn so maybe someone wouldn't mind helping me out here. I don't know how to create a triptych. I downloaded a free photo editor called GIMP which I heard about on this site. Does anyone know how to make a triptych with GIMP? Is there a border somewhere that automatically divides the picture into three parts or do I have to create a border using drawing tools and crop the photo, etc, etc. Any help would be appreciated! |

Assuming you are working with three images; open each and edit to suit. Resize each to the same critical dimension (it might be horzontal or vertical); open a new document with a background color that suits you (black might be easiest) and make it significantly larger than 3x the stacked dimensions of your images.
Select each image in turn and copy, then paste and drag on the new canvas. When you have all 3 pasted in, drag each in turn into its correct relationship witht he others. A guideline may help here. Then use crop tool to peel off the excess BG from the combined canvas.

I don't know about gimp, but if you use PSP, I just figured it out tonight. I use my magnifier tool under Artistic Effects. The only thing is that I set everything on "0" so not to have it magnified, and it gives me the frames in circle or vertical, and I stretch the vertical to the size of the photo. Then I back out. I go back in and the first frame is there, and I just move it over to make the second, and back out. One more time and done. It was a pain in the you know what though trying to figure that out. I couldn't find a triptych frame for PSP, so if anyone knows of any frames for PSP in trip, let me know. All I could find was a window....and next time I need something like 9 frames, that would work! LOL...

Rose - Follow Roberts (bear_music) advice. It works in PSP as well. Just create a new image (where he says create a new document)...
Good luck.

| Are we allowed to title the image directly on the border below the image or images? I see that a lot with triptych photos but don't know if it's allowed for this challenge. |

No. Not allowed in a normal challenge, and not mentioned in the special rules, so not allowed in this challenge either.

| i have a question about this challenge as well....do all three panels have to be going the same way? meaning do they all have to be vertical or horizontal or can you make the two up? say have two vertical and one horizontal? or vice versa? |

| I have yet another question about this challenge (we seem to have more questions than answers): Since we can use multiple images in the triptych, does the the 640 pixel/150Kb rule apply to the individual photos or only to the resultant image? |

Any direction.
(as long as you can explain the "hinging" on 2 vertical and one horizontal) ((just joking again))

i have a question... is photomerging three shots in photoshop (using the photomerge command) legal for this challenge? (I am assuming it is since it is advanced editing, etc, etc)
