I'd use ImageMagick's montage command. You have to find out how exactly to do this, but once you know this, you can automate this and process them all at once in a loop. If you're not so much into shell scripting, ask again here. Sorry, I cannot give you an example right now, but see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/ and expecially http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/ , the latter should have the information. Wonko
