  • @CousinCocaine, Did you not see where ramonrails said, "without using any third party software like Gimp etc..."? ImageMagick is a third party software!

Process followed

  1. select both source JPEG files in finder
  2. Open them together in preview app
  3. Print from preview app to see the print option dialog box
  4. Configure print layout to output 2 pages in single sheet
  5. Select "Open PDF in Preview" from the PDF dropdown menu (a new preview document opens with both source images in a single page)
  6. Save this untitled document as JPEG

I hope this helps. Feel free here to post any other way than this, that might help.

update: For more technically savvy users, using imagemagick :)
