Resize and Put Copyright Info on Images in batch mode with Merge 2.2

Merge 2.2 takes the process of merging two images something that can be done easily in countless other programs and makes it a confusing, frustrating, nonsensical mess. You can merge the two images in different ways as well as smooth blending in of just part of an image to the final result. No need to worry about image relative positioning, size or scaling differences. Version 2.2 features a new ‘macro’ button; adds surreal effects, explicitly set image size.

Merge 2.2 interface is both unintuitive and extremely unattractive. A dockable toolbar on the right side of the interface contains a series of unlabeled buttons and collapsible menus that represent the program’s features. We had an easy enough time selecting the two images that we wanted to merge, but everything from there was a process of trial and error. The program comes with a rather thorough Help file and a quick-start tutorial, but the way these documents are written makes them hard to understand.
MERGE main features :

• Merge whole pictures with adjustable blending modes.
• Fade out one image and fade in the other image towards the edge of the final picture.
• Batch Merge files with a single image – useful for watermarking your favorite images.
• Type up to ten lines of text of any font, size and color and merge it with an image.
• Smoothly blend in just part of a source image to the final result.
• Using the clipboard: copy back result back to a source image and rescale or reposition it for remerging.
• Set any relative positioning of the images on top, side by side or overlapping.

It’s unfortunate that the program is as user-unfriendly as it is, because it actually has a decent set of features; images can be scaled and flipped individually, and there are special effects and controls for brightness and contrast. But even very simple tasks are harder than they need to be.

Think you’re going to move an image by clicking on it and dragging it? Not so fast, you’re actually going to have to right-click on it, draw a line to where you want it, and then let go. Such strange behaviors make Merge annoying to use, especially when there are plenty of alternatives out there that actually make sense. Merge installs a desktop icon without asking but uninstalls cleanly.
