Merge Raster Files
This commands merges bitmaps or other images (not pdf-based, unless
the pdf has been turned into an image). First, run "Set Left Image"
and "Set Right Image" to determine the files to merge. Next, pick
identical control points on the left side and right side. Zoom in
and pick the best that you can. This establishes the scale,
rotation, and alignment for the merge. Note: the
preview windows are labeled "Left Image" and "Right Image", but the
program will merge images "Top" to "Bottom" if the control points
are aligned in that orientation.
After establishing control points, click the
Merge button and it merges the left with the right side. When you
click Save Image, you can save it in a number of distinct forms
(typically as a .bmp is sufficient). Notice the program
automatically removed the match line text, with no overlap. The key
is that your two reference points for scale and rotation, which
match, must be at the linear overlap line, because everything to
either side is removed automatically.
Originally, the two images overlapped, but now that has been
removed.
