How to insert correctly different pictures to a single file

Question

I don't know if it's possible, since my knowledge of image processing is low. I need to put my passport size photo on an A4 sheet so that I could print it out out. I tried using GIMP, great tool. Like I said earlier my expertise is very low in this field. I find it difficult to place the photos efficiently in A4 sheet.

Is there any way of placing it programmatically. Looking for some scripts using python... so that I could get a perfect output.

Or is there any program that makes this work easier. Or the last chance is to use GIMP more effectively?

Answer 1

Use imagemagick:

$ convert -append photo1.jpg photo2.jpg photo3.jpg row1.jpg

Or try +append to change the orientation.

Repeat as needed:

$ convert +append row1.jpg row2.jpg row3.jpg a4.jpg

I may have gotten the -append and the +append mixed up.

Answer 2

You can use imagemagick Imagemaick command line tools
