Creating a contact sheet
You can create contact sheets - thumbnail previews of your images arranged on pages - that you can
use to organize and share your images. You can use the Create Contact Sheet utility to save your
contact sheets in multiple image formats, and as HTML image maps. You can save your options as a
preset for future use.
The size of the thumbnails depends on how many columns and rows the contact sheet displays, and
how much space is displayed between them.
To create a contact sheet:
1 In the Browser, select the images you want to include, and then click Create | Create Contact
Sheet.
2 In the Contact sheet format area, set the Contact sheet format options.
3 In the Output Settings area, set the Output Settings options.
4 If desired, add or change the text on the page.
5Click OK.
Contact sheet format options
If you do not specify an output file path, the Create Contact Sheet utility places a file
named Contact Sheet.<ext> in your default image folder. For multiple-page contact
sheets, the utility adds a number to the file name; for example, Contact Sheet3.bmp.
