I would like for example a lightly gridded box that has little spaces to drop all my pictures into the bmp.

A template for Red Victory would be cool,but other games in the series if templates are available I would be interested too.

Alternatively what method is suggested,I am not good with graphics and only want free programs and I sure other paint programs other than old XP Paint would be better.The reason I used XP Paint is because it is really simple interface,I do have WIN 10,but have not used the more modern Win 10 paint,maybe I should or Gimp maybe.
Ideas.

Most paint programs should (I would think) have an option to superimpose a grid on an image. Then, you count the amount of images shown across, divide the pixel count by this and that is the horizontal, then same for height, then you have your centering. Most of the paint programs I used have it, you may have to turn it on first.

To make it easier, here are some of the settings

Hope this helps? Oh, try Gimp, it is a free program.
