Script? to combine 2 opened images to one large with align

[Radim]

Hi,
before they close forum.

Lately, I often need to combine two pages of a magazine into one, double-width page. How to do it via script?

I have both images open, with the active image/document being the left side. The other one is supposed to be on the right.

What should the script do?
1. in the active image, enlarge the canvas to twice the width with the content to be left aligned
2. copy the (whole) inactive 2nd image
3. paste it into the active document (as a new layer) and right align it
4. merge the layers

Have someone such simple script to share? Thanks.

Whipped this one up really quick.

The one problem with what you've asked for is that it has to make some assumptions. For example, this script assumes that the last image opened is the second page of the document. It requires that you always open your images with first page 1 and then page 2. Then you need to run it from page 1. Also, you cannot open any other image before running the script. So you cannot open 6 images in pairs of Page 1, Page 2, Page 1a, Page 2a, Page 1b, Page 2b, etc. It'll always grab only the last opened image.

Given more time I could make it smarter, but wanted to be quick about it. It also doesn't take differences of size into consideration. So if the pages are not exactly the same size it might under or over-extend the canvas of the first page.

Thanks,

I tested it on two PNG's and it works fine, at the end still remains 2 separate layers. Perhaps first image needs convert to layers or so.. to merge them

No, I did that on purpose. In case any further adjustments need to be made. Doing a final merge will put them all onto a single flat layer.
Here's a version with merge as the final option.
