how can I combine a lot of pictures into one perfectly? - kenny1999 - 12-12-2020
for example
four images to be combined into one image, at the moment, I do it through
checking their pixels' dimension, and then creating a big new image, and
then copy and paste onto the new image
It is okay but it is hard to align them nicely with a mouse and
calculating pixels dimension isn't enjoyable, especially when there are a lot of images to create
is there any wiser way to have a lot of images to be combined into one image?
should be done through GIMP

You could try the gmic plugin http://www.gmic.eu Use the filter Arrays & Tiles -> Montage Four image is easy: More than four can be tricky.
Load the images as layers, then the filter settings depend on if the images are the same size or different sizes Order depends on layer position.
same size, merging mode aligned: https://i.imgur.com/RHCO83U.jpg
different size, merging mode scaled: Make sure you load the largest image first to avoid cropping: https://i.imgur.com/rRWdt3Z.jpg
another example: 6 images, different sizes: https://i.imgur.com/plS44Yi.jpg
edit: further example 20 images, resized to (roughly) same size using BIMP and montage Vertical Array setting https://i.imgur.com/c5o2dYH.jpg
