How to tile two photos with Photoshop
In a guide on how to put two photos side by side, one cannot fail to mention Photoshop, the famous photo editing program developed by Adobe, which is available for both Windows and macOS and which you can try for free for 7 days (then it costs 12,19 euros / month). Thanks to it it is possible to place two images side by side using an automatic tool or to act "manually" by creating a customized worksheet. Find everything explained in the next lines.
If you want to use the automatic image tiling tool built into Photoshop, after starting the program on your computer, select the item Automate> Photomerge… from the menu Fillet placed at the top left, presses the button Sfoglia ..., select the two photos you want to merge and press the button OK.
In a matter of seconds, Photoshop will merge the two photos into one image, matching their ends as precisely as possible. When finished, select the item Save with name from the menu Fillet to export the output image in the location and format of your choice.
Alternatively, you can do the work of tiling the photos "manually". To do this, however, you must first check the dimensions of the two photos, as you will need them to create the background image in which to insert them.
Su Windows, then select the two files with the right mouse button, select the item Property from the menu that opens and check the entry Sizes from the card Details. On MacOS, after right clicking on the preview of the photos to be tiled, select the item Get information from the menu that opens and consult the item Sizes from the card Further information.
Then go to the menu File> New ... Photoshop and create a new image that has the same height as the two photos to be joined and the width of the two images added together (e.g. if the two images are 700 pixels wide each, you need to create an image 1.400 pixels wide).
Select, though, the voice File> Place Embedded ... from the program menu, select the first photo you want to tile, place it on one of the two ends of the image and give Submit to save the changes made. Then repeat the operation with the second photo to be placed side by side, placing it in the "empty" part of the sheet.
If you are satisfied with the result, click on the item Save with name present in the menu Fillet of the program and choose the format and location where you prefer to save the output image.
How to tile two photos with GIMP
Also GIMP, the best free Photoshop alternative, offers useful tools for tiling images. For more details, read on: we are going to find out, together, how to make the most of this great open source program available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
For starters, download GIMP to your computer. Then connect to this page of the official website of the program and press the buttons Download x.xx.x e Download GIMP x.xx.x directly (on the right). Once the download is complete, if you are using a PC Windows, open the file .exe you got and presses on the buttons Yes, OK, Install e end to install GIMP.
Su Macinstead, drag GIMP in the folder Applications say macOS, click on destroy the program icon and select the voice apri from the menu that opens twice in a row, so as to "bypass" the restrictions that Apple applies to software from non-certified developers (this is only necessary when starting GIMP for the first time).
After installing and starting GIMP, you need to open the first photo to include in your “collage” via voice apri from the menu Fillet of the program. Assuming that the photo to be placed next to the image you just opened has the same height and almost the same width as the latter, you need to enlarge the surface of the photo so as to double its width without altering its height.
To do this, select the item Surface Size from the menu Image and, in the window that opens, unlink the height and width values of the photo by clicking on the icon in the shape of chain which is next to the size of Width e Height. Then set the value Width double the original value (eg 640 if the original is 320) and click on the button Resize to apply the changes to the image.
Now that the image surface has doubled, select the item Open as layers from the menu Fillet of GIMP and open the photo to be placed next to the original one. Then select it Move tool (the cross-shaped icon) from the toolbar located on the left of the screen and move the second image just opened with the mouse, so that it is perfectly placed next to the first.
Once the procedure is complete, proceed to eliminate any superfluous spaces left in the image after tiling, selecting with the tool rectangular selection (the dashed rectangle at the top left) the area of the photo in which the side-by-side images are included and clicking on the item Crop to selection from the menu Image. Finally, save your output image by selecting the item Save eat from the menu Fillet. Più semplice di così ?!

Before explaining how to put two photos side by side with the latter, however, I want to tell you that in order not to have problems it is advisable to use images that have almost identical dimensions. If you don't have any, you can resize the photos before importing them into the program, as I explained to you in another article.
After starting Paint, select the item apri from the menu Fillet (top left) and import the image you want to fit on the left of the sheet.
