Creating a Contact Sheet in Photo Manager

You can do a contact sheet of anything you want. You could select all the images in the digital kit. You could select only the paper in a digital kit. You could do 2 contacts sheeets, one for paper and one for elements.

1. Select the items that you’d like on the preview. If they aren’t next to each other, open the image basket (View | Image Basket) and click & drag them into the image basket.
2. Go to Create | Create Contact Sheet You must select images before you can do this and if the features is greyed that that is the reason why.
3. 
   1. Look at the images on the sheet – decide if they all fit. If they don’t, then slide the size sliders to add columns and/or rows – whichever combination creates what you’d like
   2. Photo Manager will create multiple pages if there are a number of items. Verify that you have the right number of pages and if not, go back to step 1 and adjust rows/columns again.
   3. When you are ready to save the sheets – on the right,
      1. click Browse under the Output File Path.
      2. Give the previews a file name. You can use filename "preview.jpg", or you can use "kitnamePreview.jpg" or whatever you’d like. We recommend saving the preview with digital kit.
      1. Click Save.
   4. Click OK (sometimes it won’t do it, then go back & change the output file name

To see the new preview go to an outer folder & come back into the folder where you saved it and it will be there.
