This is for everyone using a PC who wants to upload multiple images to the front page. Please follow these directions instead of making 30 posts w one picture each. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Thank you Tokenvi for the directions.
* Using Windows --> go to Start --> Program Files --> Accessories --> Paint
* To create a shortcut to Paint on your desktop, right click on the Paint icon --> select "send to desktop as a shortcut"
* When you first open Paint, the white screen doesn't cover the whole page.
* Move your mouse to the lower right hand corner of the white screen
* You will see your pointer turn to a diagonal two headed arrow.
* Click on that and while holding it down, drag it to the right and down.
* This will cause the white screen to enlarge.
* If your Paint program does not fill your screen, click on the middle box in the upper right hand corner of your screen (maximize the window).
* For stitching, it is best to if your images are as close to the same pixel size as possible.
* If you are going to stitch side by side, 300 pixels wide would be a good size to work with.
* If you are going to stack them, 600 pixels wide should work as the maximum size.
* Your images can be stored any where in your computer or on a disk.
* Now click on EDIT --> Paste From
* From the drop down window, make sure that the 'Files Of Type' is set to 'All Files'.
* Then find the location where your images are stored.
* Double Click on the image you want to open.
* It will now be on your paint screen with a broken line around it.
* Just click anywhere on the white screen and the line will disappear.
* Follow the same procedure again for your 2nd image --> click on EDIT --> Paste From
* Then double click on the image that you want to stitch to the first image.
* Now the second image will be on your Paint screen covering up the first image.
* Just place your cursor in the middle of the image, hold the mouse button down and drag the image to the desired location.
* Release the mouse button and you are almost done.
* Go to File --> SAVE AS and be sure to change the file name before saving it and you are done.
* This seems a little daunting the first time through, but once you have your Paint program set up, it is fast and easy
* Have fun!
