Photo Imaging
I am trying to put two photos together so that I have an image of both as though they were one photo. I have been using microsoft photo editor and understand how to cut and paste one image to another but not how to get them side by side. On the computer I also have Adobe Photo de Luxe 2 and Paint Shop but have no idea how to use these to get the result I want. Can anyone help - in simple terms - or advise a web site where help might be available.

Create a new document in PSP (make sure it is plenty big enough to accommodate your 2 pics - you can crop the image later if needs be).
Copy your first image and paste it in to the PSP doc as a new layer (you'll see the option on the Edit menu).
Do the same with the second image. The second one will be pasted exactly on top of the first, but as it is a new layer, you can position it wher you want (it'll be in the right mode to do that as soon as you have pasted it in).
Once you have them where you want them, use the Crop tool to draw round the finished image then select Crop from the Image menu.
Save as whatever format you want. It'll tell you that it has to merge the layers to do this, which is fine.
Job done. Hope that works. Post on here again if you get stuck!
