title: Python: Import multiple images from a folder and scale/combine them into one image?
body: <p>I have a script to save between 8 and 12 images to a local folder. These images are always GIFs. I am looking for a python script to combine all the images in that one specific folder into one image. The combined 8-12 images would have to be scaled down, but I do not want to compromise the original quality(resolution) of the images either (ie. when zoomed in on the combined images, they would look as they did initially)</p>
  
  <p>The only way I am able to do this currently is by copying each image to power point.</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible with python (or any other language, but preferably python)?</p>
  
  <p>As an input to the script, I would type in the path where only the images are stores (ie. C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\My Pictures\BearImages)</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I downloaded ImageMagick and have been using it with the python api and from the command line. This simple command worked great for what I wanted: <code>montage "*.gif" -tile x4 -geometry +1+1 -background none combine.gif</code></p>
