How to create a grid out of images with unequal proportions?

Post by DaveG74 »

I have several logos I'd like arranged into a grid. Some logos are longer heightwise, some are longer widthwise. But I'd like them all arranged in a grid -- for example, two logos high by five logos wide. But I have to do this manually by measuring the height and width of each logo to ensure they're all the same amount of pixels apart.

Is there any software that can do this for me? Any information is appreciated. Thanks!

If you have the organizer palette open, and you display all the images you want to arrange, you can go to the More option icon, and find Print Contact Sheet. From there, you can modify the settings of the Contact sheet (like the number of rows and columns).

Would that work?

Thanks for your prompt response. :)
I've been fiddling around with the process for the first time, and after ten minutes, I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm supposed to do.

I can't seem to add the image files that I'd like to lay out into a group. File-Open is greyed out.
What I'd like to do is:

1) Import the images in question
2) Have them automatically grouped into a 2x5 (example) layout with a set number of pixels.
3) Export this group into a whole image.

Please assist further. Thanks! :)

I hope I'm not taking over Cassell... :) I just thought I'd add a little. Grundberg, when you select the Pring Contact Sheet, click on Select Template. You can use any one of the templates provided or create one of your own. You can make adjustments as required. The images will be placed on the page as per the template for you to print.

Another way would be to create selections of varying sizes and pasting your image into the selection.

While I could use PSP for this my preference is Irfanview which is a free program and does not take up much space (about 2 Mb download) and is very fast.
I set up some instructions fo Irfanview some time (years) back and you can see it here:

The program is available from the site:
