When it appears you have the 2nd layer's bottom edge, along with the left and right edges, all fitting in place perfectly (it may take a bit of carefull finess to line it up just right), then you're ready to save your work.Ĭlick on File then Save As and name it something you'll remember, like 'IconSet_Edit_03', then will save a Gimp template so you can easily load it in later if you want to make changes or more edits. You can use the scroll-bars to line up the area you view as well accordingly. You can use the + and - keys to zoom-in and zoom-out to have a better view if need be. You also want to make sure the left and right edges line up to match as well. You will then want to line-up the bottom-edge of the 2nd layer so it matches exactly with the bottom edge of the whole overall new image window. But, from the Gimp Toolbox, select the Move Tool, then carefully move it over top of a visable part of the 2nd layer you just added, then move it down lower. It may look a bit of a mess with the 2nd icon-sheet image over top of the 1st one. Now, do the same for the IconSet2 image, copy then Paste As a New Layer into the new image. Go to your new image in the editor and select Edit, Paste As then New Layer.įor this one it should automatically be in the proper place. In Gimp, select the window for your IconSet1 image, then choose to Edit then Copy. The white background should be gone now (you may see what appears to be a 'checkered' type patten, indicating a transparent background). For the new image, from the menu select Edit then Cut. We want to get rid of that white background so it will be 'transparent'. By default it shows as a blank white image. Now you'll have a 3rd image in the editor. Keep the same width for the new image you will make, but (assuming your second icon-shoot image is the same height and width) make sure the height will be long enough to include both, so adding up the height number of both images, which I'm assuming would be double if they are both the same WxH size, put in a height of 1872 and click OK. By default the width and height (in pixels) shows the same as the image you had selected (in which the VxAce IconSet image is a width of 384 and a height of 936. In Gimp, click on the window-frame for the IconSet1 image, then select File then New. In Gimp, load in both images From the top menu click on File, Open then navigate to where you have the IconSet1.png image and open that. I'd suggest to name the original VxAce IconSet.png as IconSet1.png and your other one as IconSet2.png Copy over the two seperate icon-sheet images over into a new location from where you will work on them. Make a backup of the image files before doing any editing. Ok, here's the basic method I did to combine two icon-sheets into one longer image that contains all of the icons from both.

I was just offering a friendly suggestion of GIMP as it's what I use a lot for graphic-editing and plus it's free too (though you can give a donation if you like).

There's plenty of other graphic-editing software available, so it's up to you to find one that you think is suitable for you and what you want to do. There's lots of other tutorials out there for it too (can probably also find lots of video tutorials for it on YouTube as well).Īnyways, it comes down to personal preference. For some fairly quick and somewhat simple editing, I think it's great. But it really depends on what you want to do with it.

There's lots of documentation to learn the various commands & features of GIMP,, you could probably learn to do some basic things with it fairly quickly, but of course learning to do the more advanced features can be a steeper learning curve and more time consuming. But that goes for just about any software really. GIMP is much like using other graphic-editing software with commands and features that tend to be quite similar (compared to software such as Photoshop and the likes), but of course if you're not familiar with it (or not familiar with graphic-editing software in general), it will take time to learn and will be a learning curve. If you're computer-savvy, have a knack with learning and using new software, then yes, once you become familiar with the graphic-editing software of your choice then it may become fairly easy to do.Īs I'm fairly familiar with using GIMP, with it I could do something like you wanted within probably just a few minutes.
