Thanks to Rob Kennedy for
this link.

“This article will show you a simple way to merge images
together. It can also serve as an introduction to the concept of
layers. It relies on the Gimp but I suppose any reasonably high-end
graphics package can do. Each step is heavily commented so that
novice users won’t get lost, I hope it won’t be too much of a
turnoff for more experienced ones :).”

“To follow the tutorial, you will need:”

  • “A colour display (ideally 16 bit or more)”
  • “The Gimp”
  • “The two images below”
  • “About 1 hour of free time”
  • “Optionnally, a caffeinated drink”

[ Warning – contains images that some might find offensive.
