Assistance needed - creating a solar eclipse sequence in GIMP
#1
Hi all,
I am new to using GIMP, and could use your advice/input. I have several solar eclipse photos from the April 2024 eclipse, and I would like to arrange them in a sequence.  I'd like my total eclipse photo to be in the center of the sequence, with the stages leading up to it, and after it on either side.

I am not very technically savvy with computer software in general, and have limited free time to learn GIMP and all its functions. I found quite a few detailed/complex tutorials that show how to create an eclipse sequence in photoshop, but I couldn't find a good basic one for GIMP, so I would appreciate any assistance. 

I assume I will need to load all my photos in layers, then somehow put all the images on top of a black background. Then I'll need to adjust their size and move them into the correct positions. Can someone suggest a very simple way to create this type of image? As I am not very familiar with the tools in GIMP (or even how to create a black background), if you can be very specific with a step-by-step process that would be greatly appreciated!  Note - I have version 2.10.32 revision 1.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!
