I have a directory containing several images size 640*480px and I'd like an automated procedure using Gimp to pick these up and 'tile' the images beside each other with no overlap, to make a new large image a bit like a proof sheet. For example, the output image could be four source images wide by ten deep, for a 2560*4800 resulting image.

Imagemagick will count the number of images and determine the appropriate number of tiles per row (which you can manually override with the The "But I asked for GIMP..."If you are hellbent on doing this in GIMP, I'm not sure how. A quick google search reveals lots of plugins and techniques for manipulating a tileset (like you'd see in an old-but-still-awesome 8-bit RPG), but I didn't find an easy way to stitch together a bunch of images except doing it by hand. |
