How to resize a pic with Irfanview

[Wurger]

Take it easy... you have been doing good so far. It seems the mistake you made is the using of the incorrect Start corner for merging into one pic. Change it for the Right Top one. Also you could have used the wrong half of the pic. Use the proper one. And then hit the OK button.

Or, for the easier way , you have to make the pics with the view of tops of both halves I mean the right and the left one. Both of them you have to save as the separate files ( images ) right... Then follow the instruction in the post #14.

Thanks Wurger - got there in the end!
But I wouldn't call the process - easy.
Cheers!

Glad you got it.

Also I would like to tell you that working with the Photoshop for getting of the final effect isn't too easy as well, believe me. Some of working has to be done too. I have found that making a profile using of the Irfanview is easier than with the Photoshop. Especially , following tha way described in the post #14.
Not easy.. perhaps,yes. But it is just a matter of training, IMHO. I merged these two halves of the P-11c in a few seconds. However please remember that the Irfanview is an image browser but not the specialised graphic soft

However there is another problem..a such made profile isn't accurate at 100 percent. While these planes of solid colours at tops , undersides can look good , those with the camo spots just not anymore. Also have a look at national markings. The P-11c didn't have the PAF squares on tops painted symmetric. Additionally these marking weren't mirrored.. what is more , e.g. Spitfire up to the Mk.IX ( an many, many other plane types ) had the underwing radiators of different shapes for port and starboard wing or only one there. Making a such profile as a mirrored one you may cause that a Spitfire Mk.V can have the oil radiator under both of wings while it is not correct. About the Pitot tubes I don't mention at all. ....and such details have to be kept in mind as well.

Hi Wurger.

Below was produced using your Post No.14 technique which as you said, is a a lot easier. I've also been shown by my son how to do it with Paint - which is also easy.

However there is another problem..a such made profile isn't accurate at 100 percent.

Absolutely! The artist originally painted the starboard top view half of this Saab 18. The real Saab had the cockpit offset to port so my "joined starboards" produce a very unrealistic and narrow central cockpit.

Anyway, I'm having fun and thanks again for your help.

Hi Wurger.

I still only have Irfanview - no photoshop. I'm trying to make one image using a number of scanned plan silhouettes - as a sorta recognition quiz.
Can it be done on Irfanview?

Cheers!

 

[Wurger]

Do you mean the mix of the two pics above or one pic using of the first shot but looking like the bottom shot?

I created something like that ...

 

[Graeme]

Yeah! Like the last illustration - they don't necessarily need to be at angles - I just can't figure out how you put them all in one image.
Cheers.

[Wurger]

Like this one?

 

[Graeme]

Yes!

How do ya do it mate?

 

[Wurger]

First of all, please, tell me what the version of your Irfanview is. I use the 4.28 one.

 

[Graeme]

It says 4.51

 

[Wurger]

OK please check if there is the option Create Panorama image in the "Image" top menu

 

[Graeme]

Yep - it's there.

 

[Wurger]

Ok click that and check if you have the same options/settings there like in the pic below.

 

[Graeme]

Yep....

 

[Wurger]

Ok.... a brief explanation what option is for ...

the Horizontal button allows to put pics horizontally like in the pic I posted in #30.
the Vertical button allows to put pics vertically and as the result you will get the vertical "strip"

The white field it is a window where you can see the file paths to pics attached with the Add imagee button. If you click the button the popup window of the File selectior is opened. Find the pic you want to add and click its name. Its title will appear in the white field. For the another shot selection click the Add button again .... when the list is completed click the Create image and viola. Remember to save the final image.

 

[Graeme]

You're a wizard!

I'll play with it.
Cheers Wurger.

 

[Wurger]

My pleasure.
