merge2.6

Merge is a simple-to-use application that enables you to overlay two pictures or text elements. The result can be saved to file (BMP, JPG, PNG, TIF, TGA, PCX) or printed.The interface of the application is familiar and easy to navigate. Loading two images or text files to overlap can be done by using only the file browser, since the "drag and drop" functionality is not supported. It is possible to merge multiple items in batch mode.Merge comes equipped with several configuration settings. Therefore, you can adjust the image scale, specify the merge method, as well as set the contrast, brightness and RGB levels, apply a filter (e.g. grayscale, blur, emboss) and flip objects.In addition, you can change any of the two sources by opening a new image, text or blank picture, or by pasting the contents from the Clipboard. Plus, you can select the blend method between "Blend Smooth" and "Rectangle".Other features of Merge let you alter the default base color, establish the target image size, set a new position for the images or text, as well as switch to another theme for the interface.The graphic editing tool requires a moderate-to-high amount of CPU and system memory, has a good response time to key strokes and mouse commands, and includes a help file. We have not come across any issues throughout our tests, since the application did not hang, crash or alert us of any errors.To sum it up, Merge provides a simple solution to overlapping two images or text elements, and it can be handled by users of any skill level, thanks to its intuitive layout.
