I've recently started using IrfanView 3.75 for viewing JPGs/GIFs etc,
instead of PaintShop Pro 7. It's much faster and has a few other neat
features I like, such as allowing fast navigation and deletion within
a folder.

But I haven't yet grasped how to do what I'm sure must be a trivial
task. Could someone step me through the exact steps to get two
successive clipboard copies (screenshot captures) pasted into one
image please?

If I use Image>Create New (empty) image, and accept the defaults, I
get the empty white window I'd expect. But why is it titled 'Clipboard
- IrfanView'? I'd expect something like 'IrfanView - Image1' until I
changed it with a Save. And if I then do a Ctrl-v to paste my capture
into it, I get the result locked in the top left corner, background
now becomes black, and title becomes 'Clipboard01- IrfanView'. If I
paste a second capture, it appears to over-write the first, and title
changes to 'Clipboard01- IrfanView'.

I appreciate that IrfanView is primarily a viewer (an excellent one),
not an editor. I would obviously fire up PSP7 to do something more
ambitious. But IrfanView does appears to have basic editing
facilities. I just need to understand how to use them!

Any advice would be much appreciated please.

hi terry

afaik - and i have been using irfanview for about 5 years now i think - this
isn't possible (yet?) you may drop the author irfan a message though - he -
like me - is from austria and is said to be very nice and considered quite a
few user suggestions for future releases before.

rock on.

I haven't tried it but it looks like "Image > Create Panorama Image" might do
this.

Yes indeed it does thanks, Al. I discovered it shortly after my post.
You have to open up a new image, use Image > Create Panorama Image,
then Add, and then specify the two files. They must of course be
orientated correctly, and the positions are strictly limited to those
two: horizontal and vertical. It does have the merit of avoiding
running PSP7, but it's far from flexible!

Thanks. I did drop Irfan a note a few days ago, but so far no reply.
