Someone emailed me asking about combining two chip images into one, like putting the front and back of a chip in one image.

Adobe Photoshop CS2 is the program I use.
Maybe other programs have something similar?

1. Open two chip images in Photoshop. Click on File. In the drop-down menu point your cursor at Automate and in the second drop-down menu click on Photomerge...

2. A Photomerge pop-up box will appear with the names of the 2 chips. Click on OK.

3. Sometimes the two images will superimpose on each other like this:

or the 2 images will appear in the top panel like this:

4. If they are superimposed click on one image and separate them or Click and hold down the button while dragging one image to the canvas below.

Then click and drag the other image to a position alongside it. When you are satisfied with the image click on OK.

5. Save your new image.

My new Photomerged image:

You can add additional images and arrange them as you please.
