Default HELP (Contact sheets).

Have just done some shot's of a friends kids (and hopefully 2 more on the way if this turns out ok?) and want to do some contact sheets to show him,never done anything like this before so what's the best way to go about it in CS3???

Size?/No per sheet/quality? Etc Etc, any advice would be greatly appreciated....

Cheers Steve.

hey steve. dead simple.

>file
>automate
>contact sheet II

follow your nose through the drop downs etc..

hope that helps

print onto A4. i normally go 5 across and 6 down but it depends on how big you want your thumbnails.
bung them all into a folder, something nice. make a cover sheet with one picture, maybe artworked to show your work off to its best, along with their names and date of shoot etc..makes it a bit more personal

good luck dude

Cheers Mate,
just what i needed.... have already done him a disc with all the pics on but he's bought a nice silver frame and picked one of them to have a big one of,but he's not sure about colour?
So have done B&W/sepia/3 duotones (to match the blue carpet in his dining room,well i do try!!!)and wanted to stick them all on one sheet with a colour one so he can compare them all.
Have sorted that now,just need to work out now how much to charge him LOL.

Cheers Steve.
