Title: Contact Sheet Options
Post by: Will Duquette on January 05, 2007, 12:33:28 pm
I've just moved up to Photoshop CS2 (from a variety of lesser programs), and I've been experimenting with the Contact Sheet II plugin.  It appears to work pretty well--except that I'd like to be able to customize the output a bit more.  Specifically, I'd like to put the name of the shoot at the top of the page, and possibly include exposure information as well.  

Any thoughts?  What do other folks use for contact sheets?  (I'm using a Mac.)

ThumbPlus works for me.
I think you can download a trial version.

Alas, it's Windows software; I'm using OS X.

The print module in Adobe Lightroom is very flexible in this respect and is able to do what you ask.  It's well worth a look.  The current Beta 4.1 is still available for download if you would like to try immedietly.

Note: The current beta will expire in Feb 07, and Adobe have confirmed Beta 5 will not exist so a V1.0  release is imminent!

Photo Mechanic is an excellent program for producing contact sheets as well as HTML galleries.
