Creating one image from multiple images

Hello, I was wondering what software/app I should use to take multiple image files (jpg/png/tiff) and make them into one. Not a collage, but a larger image. Like a wide photo (left half, right half) or newspaper article (top of page, bottom of page) that is acquired in multiple images, but can be put together into its whole using a Mac app. I know it can be done, but I am expanding my understanding of image editing with a Mac. Thanks.

FireFox Search Fail

So installed the latest - greatest version of FireFox yesterday. Have not yet checked to see if it's still up to date. Any ways they were pimping their new search bar.



So I gave it a try. Tried to track down the score of the Baltimore Pittsburgh playoff game.



Felt a lot like using stoplight. All sorts of crap I did not want, games dating back to 2011 and 2013 topping the lists. Tried three different sets of search criteria, gave up and used DuckDuckGo. The latter delivered on the spot.

Good news! Yosemite Wi-Fi problems fixed, I think...

Like many of us, I had lost the will to live owing to voodoo incantations being powerless at fixing random wifi connectivity since the 10.10.1 update (and for some since 10.10)



I have now installed the third beta of 10.10.2 on my MB Pro and presto, I am at full speed again. The biggest symptom was a Ping value of over x10 compared to Ethernet, accompanied by huge variations in moment to moment download speeds.



All fixed now, and stable for two days. I assume that the full release of 10.10.2 is now only days away as they typically run 3 iterations of Betas before the actual launch.



So a happier New Year then... :)
