Easiest way to combine two images vertically

[maho]

Hello, another question for the experts.

Suppose I have two images, such as



and



and I want to stack them vertically like this



What's the easiest way to do it?

What I do now is:

1) Copy paste image 2 onto image 1 as a layer
2) Layer->Change Layer Size on background to match combined size
3) Position image 2 in proper place
4) Layer->Reduce to Background

Since I have over a hundred of these, a batch process or something nearly automatic would be best...

Thanks!

Here's a more automatic version. Suppose you have the two images as layers.

Then select both layers in the Layer panel, make sure that the background image is the active layer (marked in grey in the Layer panel) and use

Layout -> Arrange -> Move Layers to Vertical Border.

Then change to Document mode and use

Layout -> Document -> Trim Document.

I'll attach an action which just does that, assuming that you have both images as layers, with the bottom part as the background layer.

Cheers

Burkhard.
