Creating multiple-image layouts (Photoshop)
You can export multiple images automatically as contact sheets and picture packages
using Automate commands.
Creating contact sheets
By displaying a series of thumbnail previews on a single page, contact sheets let you easily
preview and catalog groups of images. You can automatically create and place thumbnails
on a page using the Contact Sheet II command.
To create a contact sheet:
1 Choose File > Automate > Contact Sheet II.
2 Under Source Folder, click Choose (Mac OS) or Browse (Windows) to specify the folder
containing the images you want to use. Select Include All Subfolders to include images
inside any subfolders.
3 Under Document, specify the dimensions, resolution, and color mode for the contact
sheet. Select Flatten All Layers to create a contact sheet with all images and text on a
single layer. Deselect Flatten All Layers to create a contact sheet where each image is on a
separate layer and each caption is on a separate text layer.
4 Under Thumbnails, specify layout options for the thumbnail previews, and click OK.
For Place, choose whether to arrange thumbnails across first (from left to right, then top
•
to bottom) or down first (from top to bottom, then left to right).
Enter the number of columns and rows that you want per contact sheet. The maximum
•
dimensions for each thumbnail are displayed to the right, along with a visual preview of
the specified layout.
Select Use Filename As Caption to label the thumbnails using their source image
•
filenames. Use the menu to specify a caption font.
Creating picture packages
With the Picture Package command, you can place multiple copies of a source image on a
single page, similar to the photo packages traditionally sold by portrait studios. You can
choose from a variety of size and placement options to customize your package layout.
