need app suggestion

[cdhgold]

i need to create a large image that is a collage of existing images .. in windoze i used an older app called lviewpro to copy one image into another then arrange it where i wanted in the collage .. i now need to do that in fedora 8 and do not have enough gimp knowledge to use it is there a simpler app that i can use to do this??

to clarify i want to take 49 images and arrange them in one large image in 7 rows of 7

For pretty much all automated image manipulation the answer is ImageMagick.

For your problem you need montage from the suite. Check out the manpage: montage(1)

looking into montage .. any suggestions on which parameter will push the images together in the new one i do not want any space between the images in the collage
