MERGE gives you the possibility of overlaying two digital photos and go in various directions from there. You can use this simple utility for simple purposes, like watermarking an image or you can go much further and blend different photos to create something new. It looks simple on the surface, but it supports various operations, allowing you to do anything, from adding a simple watermark to exploring new artistic ideas.

The application is offered completely free of charge. It works on all modern Windows platforms, and you can install it in just a few seconds. There is no need to install any special tools or services to run it, and you won't encounter any kind of difficulties during the installation process.

It may take a few moments to get accustomed to MERGE because it works a bit different than other image editors. When launched, it immediately presents options for importing images or text, pasting images, and selecting a pattern or color instead of a picture. The main idea is that you have to load two different things, which the software will recognize as separate objects. Of course, you can load different pictures or text at any time for each of the two sources.

If you load two images, the application will place them one on top of another and make one of them transparent. At this point, you can use the controls on the right side of the user interface to change the brightness and contrast of both images, scale them individually, pick between different blending methods and more. You can also place the pictures in different locations in relation to each other, resize and distort them, and perform other simple actions.

If you experiment with the application's controls for a bit, you will discover more possibilities, like merging more than two images. You can also batch merge images, which is a potentially good way of making your work easier. For example, you could watermark a huge selection of pictures.

When it comes to overlaying and blending pictures, MERGE can make everything much faster and easier.

Pros

You can overlay pictures, blend them and more. The software provides you with clear and easy-to-master controls. It doesn't cost anything, and you can have it up and running in no time.

Cons

The software feels a bit restrictive, due to the fact that you have to click buttons instead of clicking and dragging in the preview area.
