How to add two images as a screen saver for Windows 7

Cutting two images together as a screen saver can make the difference between a generic, impersonal screen saver to a very special one, by adding a personal touch to your computer with 2 images of a loved one or a favorite pastime. A screen saver is an image montage that appears when the computer is idle or falls asleep. You must designate the folder of images that you want to show and, after doing so, you can also influence your computer to display the images of the screen saver.

Steps to follow:

one

Click on "Start", select "Accessories" and select "Paint" to open a new Paint document. Click on the "Paint" button, select "Open" and look for your first picture. Double-click on the image to open it.

two

Click on "Group Image", and click on the "arrow" on the "Select" tab. Drag the pointer over the entire image. On the Image tab, click "Crop." Click on the image again and press the "Ctrl" and "C" keys to copy the cropped image.

Open a new Paint document and open your second image. Press the "Ctrl" and "V" keys to paste the first cropped image in the second image.

Click on the cropped image, select "Image Group" and select "Resize" to bring up the size and tilt dialog window.

5

Select the "Maintain ratio" checkbox. Within the resize section, click on "pixels", and enter the new width and height of the image. You must decide how you want to place the two images on a screen saver . For example, if you want a photo on the left side, and the other one on the right side, you should change the width and height of the first image and the second one to 400 by 600 - taking into account that the average image is 800 600
