There's Gimp, but I personally found it hard to use, but it's worth trying.

1. open both images in Gimp
2. 0.5 Go to Image—Transform--clockwise or counter clockwise to pick the orientation
3. For the top image, go to Image--Canvas Size
4. Make the height greater than the width, to fit both images, and click Resize
5. On the bottom half, use the crop/knife tool to exclude the thick line from scanning one half on the printer (if there is a line)
6. Use the rectangle selection too to select the bottom half. Then go to Edit--Copy
7. On the window for the top image, go to Edit--Paste As--New Layer
8. Use the move tool (arrows in all directions) to move the new layer in place. To move in increments, use the direction keys
9. Use the crop tool to remove excess canvas
10. Save As…What ever.
11. To save it as a JPG, go to File--Export As

Very interesting to see your process, and a very detailed tutorial. As usual, it was fun to read with your choice of colours, font and occasional dashes of humour.
FYI. On my 'surfing' computer, which is probably older than your scanner , It loaded quite fast, considering its size, and there was no 'freezing' when scrolling.

Cool thanks, but let me ask you. Do you think a template matters that much if a person is posting digitally? I would love to have physical copies of my books of course, but I also feel I need to think about posting it online, but wasn't sure whether margin size matters in that area? I know how it should look, but when it comes to calculating the exact amount...does it matter? Thanks in advance

Ah, like should you keep comic-book dimensions for posting online? You could check out people's responses on this thread: forum.deviantart.com/art/gener… I personally like the manga dimensions in particular, because they're wider than American comic book dimensions. For posting purely online, you can probably make what ever size you want; for putting into hardcopy, there are standard sizes to follow.

Neat! It's always great to see how other artists do things.
