Obviously, trying well-known shortcuts like Command + C and Command + V should be your first options, just for the speed and ease of it. There are a few ways you can copy the text you are after. There are apps that analyze letters in an image and convert them so that you can easily transfer and edit the text on your Mac. Luckily, it only takes a few steps to convert an image to text. That said, being able to copy text from images will save you the time required to manually transcribe the words into your word processor. Even if all text may seem the same to you, there is a big difference between real text and text embedded in a graphic for your computer. In such cases, if you try to simply copy the text, you'll notice that it won't work. It could also be a filename, file size, or date modified stored in a file directory. Maybe you want to grab a phrase from a screenshot, drop-down menu, error message, or pop-up window that doesn't allow text selections. Sometimes you just need to copy text from an image.

It supports layers, filters, channels and supports almost all image formats, plus it has better image / layer selection and resizing tools that may be better suited for your image editing needs.
It has better tools much on the lines of popular editors (including shortcuts) and I guess if you try you should be doing just fine without much help from us. Speaking of free GUI tools, Seashore app is an open source project much better at working with images than Preview.app.

I used it on and now the correct code is convert +append a.png b.jpg +append c.tif Alternatively, you could put this in some sort of automator script. This isn't a GUI application, but maybe some others might have a better solution.
For example, you can switch to a different image format for the output convert +append a.png b.jpg c.tif With convert, you can do a ton of other things. Alternatively, you append them vertically with -append (instead of +) and a.png will be on top of b.png. To create a new file, c.png, that has the a.png on the left and b.png on the right. If you have your two 320x428 images, say a.png and b.png, you can do convert +append a.png b.png c.png The actual tool you want to use from Imagemagick is the convert tool.

You could also choose to install with brew ( brew install imagemagick). I use the command line tools that come in the Imagemagick package I think I installed it on my system with MacPorts. I often have to do this with images of plots of data.
