Can you paste a picture into another one and then move it into exact
position using Irfanview? How?

Not exactly the way you asked for - but you can achieve what you want:

1. You have to know the horizontal and vertical resolution (in pixels) of
your clipboard content. If you don't:
* if you copy a whole picture - open it in IrfanView and look under
<Image\Information>
* if you copy a selection - do it in IrfanView and look in the
window title bar
2. Use the mouse to select a rectangle in the picture you want to copy to
-> at the desired position and right in the size - horizontal and
vertical resolution in pixels - of your clipboard content. (Look on
the window title bar again to see position and size of your selection)
Hint: You can adjust the borders of your selection frame by dragging
them with your mouse
3. Paste

Not sure about Irfanview, but you can do this with Imageforge -
http://www.cursorarts.com/ca_imffw.html :

1- open both images
2- go to the image which you want to Paste
3- click the Edit menu and choose Select All, then Copy
4- go to the other image and from the Edit menu choose Paste

You can then drag the pasted image (or a copied portion) to wherever
you want. You can use the same steps with other editors such as Pixia.

Don't know about Irfanview, but MS Paint will do this:
Open your background picture in 'Paint' and then use Irfanview to copy 2nd
image to clipboard and then paste into 'Paint' ,you can then drag, skew and
scale to your hearts content.
Hope this is what you would like to do!?

Alternatively, if the second picture is an existing file, open the
first in Windows Paint, then use Edit -> Paste From... to paste the
second image from file on top of the first. Drag it to where you want
then "drop" it on.

Thank you all for the suggestions and I will soon be trying the MS Paint one
out shortly

X-No-Archive: yes

Mmmm thank you - will try it but looks like it might be fiddly and sort of
final when pasted - no chance to view and adjust the result. The thing is I
am sure I have seen or heard about a program that would do this easily.

Yes, that is real fiddly to say the least.

Get the

http://www3.sympatico.ca/one.human/files/MSPaintFix_AllReg.zip

and do as it says and presto, you can load, convert, edit and save gif
and jpeg files using good old MSPaint.

Load the first pic, select all and copy to clipboard

Load second pic

Paste will bring the first pic at the top left corner and you can move
it all you want. Click outside the secod pic and you are done!

A bit of digging finds this:

Unzip MSPaintfix_Allreg.zip and apply the registration entries by
merging.

http://www3.sympatico.ca/one.human/files/MSPaintFix_AllReg.zip

Make new folder C:\windows\MSApps\Grphflt and copy the required *.FLT
files to this folder.


http://www3.sympatico.ca/one.human/files/Jpegim32.flt
http://www3.sympatico.ca/one.human/files/Gifimp32.flt

Now MS PAint can read all gif and jpg/jpeg, make modifications and
export back in the same format.

I have just copied the .flt files as above (only the one location
specified) and have been using MSPaint to edit jpg and gif files for
several months with no problem.
