After playing with Logomaker and a couple of bmp files ALL afternoon, I'm finally close.

I gave up on the pictures and decided to try just text. So I went into my Presentation Software, wrote my name and phone no. and saved it as a .bmp. with page size 4x6 Portrait. My software gives me many options so I played with it.

The first picture, I saved the file as:
600x800 (vertical not landscape), 4 bit color, and 600 DPI. That gave me a physical size of 6.25" by 8.33". I did the same for the ending file. It gave me 4 horizontal pics, but the same garbage exit picture I had been having. THIS IS 1000 times better that what I had been getting with my pictures.

So, I tried again, using: 1200x1600 , resolution 150, 4 bits, which gave me a physical size of 8" by 10.67". As you can see I now have 2 horizontal pics. And the exiting picture is the exit picture side by side.

I'm stopping there for the day, and thinking about it. AFter some of the disaster tries I've had today, this is a tremendous success.

PS I went into my photo program and wiped out my phone number before I'm posting it. The picture on the PEZ is Perfect.
