Contact Sheet: How To?

Post by penciline »

Dear Users:

Does anyone know how to create a contact sheet in PhotoImpact 10/11 and create a title underneath? (The title could be just the file name or a custom name, if possible).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sincerely,

Maybe I haven't had enough coffee this morning, but could you clarify?

I create contacts sheets for customers, but do not understand what you mean by placing something underneath. Are you considering a watermark? Or, do you want to create a base document you can fill in later?
If you want to create a document entry form, it can be done but is very difficult and time consuming.
If you just want to add a single title or logo the Component designer can take care of that. You could also make one title and then copy that title to many locations on a document.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I was just trying to find out how to create a contact sheet with titles under each thumbnail (either the filename or a custom title per picture). I was also wondering if these thumbnails could be numbered in addition to having a title.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Sincerely,

PI11 has the Print Multiple Options, but it is nearly impossible to add text boxes.
PI Photo Album on the other hand, can handle that very easily.
Create a General file and import your images as Thumbnails, you can select the size and they are automatically numbered.
Once your images have been imported, go to the Command Menu and Click the Icon named View in Thumbnail Mode. OR, On the Command Menu go to View, Mode, Thumbnail. Thumbnail view will show a sample of your image and below give the file name. You can change the properties to include the full Path name if you like, or add other information. Try different Views to see what you like.
