Gouped Graphics

[blockie]

I wish to insert a number of jgraphicfiles into a graphic program, move them around, annotate the pictures and save the entire group as one graphic file.
How do I accomplish this for free?
I downloaded Photo Filtre and tried that. Although I can add muiltiple pictrures to a canvas I can only edit them or move them when I first add a picture. When I add the second picture I lose the dotted line around the first picture and I don't know how to re-select it so I can do further editng of the forst picture.
Does anubody know how to re-select a picture in Photo Filtre so I can move it around or edit it?

I don't know Photo Filtre but you could try TheGimp (for Windows presumably).

Like all elaborate graphics packages there is a learning curve to overcome.

Had a quick look at Photo Filtre. Hide any current selection from the Selection Menu and define a new selection with the selection tool (the Arrow Tool).

I found a simple way to produce a graphic file with multiple picrures. I used Power Point 2002. I inserted as many jpg pictures as I wanted. I could then select each picture and move, format or edit it. When I was satisfied with the arrangement I saved the file as a Power Point presentation, and also as a jpg file.

The jpg file I could then use as desired. Anytime I wish to change the arrangement I could open the PP presentaion file and edit and move each image. I then resaved it as a PP presentation file (for future editing). And I saved it as a jpg file for my immediate use.

Pretty neat, huh?
:D :D :D

Didn't realise you wanted an app to store multiple images separately rather than multiple images on one document or slide.

If PP does what you want that's great (but "How do I accomplish this for free?" doesnt of course apply). The free OpenOffice has an equivalent program called Impress for Presentations and also a Draw utility which can also save multiple images in one file but in a more simplified manner.
