What exactly do you mean by "combine"? The best answer is probably the image compositor which puts one image on top of another. MediaBin is limited by the fact that a "job" can only be run on a single asset and the "other" asset must be specified as a parameter. This means that while you can manipulate one image further the second image will need to come in intact.

For example, if you knew the sizes of the images involved (for argument's sake say they were identical) you could use the Pad primitive to add a blank area below one the size of the second and then the compositor to get an image that consists of one image followed by the other.

Of curse even more sophisticated manipulation is possible and if you are writing a script you could use MediaBin's short-circuit capabilities to manipulate one image, and get it back to disk and then composite the transformed image onto the second! With some imagination you should find that the combination of the Padder, the tRansformer and the Image Compositor is very powerful.

Thanks for your valuable reply.
I donot want to do Water Marking(ie., Putting one image over the other).My requirement is to combine multiple images to single image. Ex: I have mutilpe images (leftBanner.jpg, middleBanner.jpg and rightBanner.jpg) that combined to form a single Banner.To improve the performance i want to combined these multiple images (leftBanner.jpg, middleBanner.jpg and rightBanner.jpg) to single image(Banner.jpg). Do this can be implemented using MediaBin task?

Thanks in advance

Hi. There is no explicit way to add one image to another say vertically however if you know the sizes you can get exactly the same effect by padding the image and then using the compositor primitive indicating that the new image should be placed at the bottom!
