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.

Note: Make sure that the images are closed before applying this command.

To create a contact sheet:

1 Choose File > Automate > Contact Sheet II.

2 Click Choose to specify the folder containing the images you want to use. Select Include All Subdirectories to include images inside any subfolders of the chosen folder.

3 Under Document, specify the dimensions, resolution, and color mode for the contact sheet, using the menus to specify measurement units.

4 Under Thumbnails, specify layout options for the thumbnail previews:
  • 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.

    • 5 Click OK to create the contact sheet.
