paintercarol hi:

Unfortunately, I do not have any specific tutorials to recommend since I have not tried that form of photo art.

I did some searching about diptych photography and found this flickr group dedicated to that art form:

http://www.flickr.com/groups/dyptichs

They provide a link to a method some photo artists use to create diptych's:

http://www.flickr.co...s/discuss/21068

While the link describes how to do it in Photoshop, if you are familiar with Gimp, translating the tutorial to use with Gimp is easy. If you are a complete beginner with Gimp, you may have difficulty converting between Photoshop and Gimp.

Here is a link to a Flickr group discussing some methods for creating diptych's using Gimp:

Finally, if you do an online search for the terms "gimp diptych tutorial", using your favorite search engine, you will probably find a number of tutorials or sites with information on using Gimp to make diptych's.

Once you get started, if you have any specific questions about particular steps of a tutorial, feel free to ask either at the site where the tutorial is, or here. Someone here hopefully will be able to guide you through any specific questions you might have about a Gimp tutorial.

Hope this helps you some.

I realise it's too late, but this Meet The GIMP episode might have helped: http://blog.meettheg...llenge-for-you/ where Rolf makes a Triptych.
