Contact sheets

[fjclaus]

I recently did a portrait event for a large group home, and they want to see proofs of the photos. Is there a way to make a "Contact" sheet in PaintShop Pro x3? I'm looking for some way to print about 9 images per page either with the file names, or space under each picture to hand write the file names. Is this possible in PSP x3?

Yes the Print Layout function. It's in the File Menu and you can get the details from the help files. But essentially it allows you to make your own templates or use pre-made ones. It's not quite the automated function you might have been hoping for but it does have a lot of options including adding text fields. Though you will have to add the text for those fields yourself, PSP doesn't automatically add the title of the currently selected image at all. But the image pane on the right side of the screen provides you with the filenames right under the image so it's not like you would have to have them memorized at all.

Otherwise I'm sure there are some pretty simple image printing software apps you could get for free that have more sophisticated contact sheet options.

Thanks I think that did it. There is no "Contact" sheet template, but I think the "Wallet" size template with 8 up will work just fine. That would make each of them larger than if I did 9 up anyway.

I don't know if this is allowed, but i do have a script that can create a contact sheet, however, it is not free (so if the admins feel it is not the right place, you can delete this post).

Now that you've bumped up this topic it should be pointed out that I was slightly...wrong.

Turns out that in the Organizer this is an automated Contact Sheet option. It's the Printer button just above the image list. A lot better than using templates and layouts. Though I don't know if it's better than Cassel's script as I haven't tried it.
