I'm scanning the front and back of kids art work. For example artwork on front of paper on the back is wording. I want a basic photo editor that lets me pull up both image files and lets me combine them into a single image file. I know Photoshop can do this but it's capabilities are way beyond what I'm doing, just need to digitally archive this stuff.

Thanks!
