The least painful way? Look up Imagemagick montage.

What are the dimensions of your photos? You may be able to load them all up as layers in GIMP and use the G'MIC version of montage as well. On Thu, Jun 25, 2015 at 12:29 PM anonymousbrad wrote:

Hello,

I have a bunch of photos that are exactly the same in dimensions

I want to make an album out of these, and the album should be a png file

So something like this: http://i.imgur.com/S1KqiK3.png

If you look at the picture above, the white ones are the photos, the red is the
background image that I want to use. Each photo should also have a label below
it, like AB-90, etc.

The final product should be a png file.

I know I can do it manually using gimp but the problem is there are over 100
images and doing it by hand will take forever, and if I do it by hand the distances between the images may not be uniform. In fact I have been doing it by
hand since last night and I got frustrated and gave up.

I want to somewhat automate this using gimp. is that possible?

What is the least painful way of doing this?

Hi -
I have an ancient script to do jsut that - with nice options to set-up spacing between each image.

I've just updated it to work with GIMP 2.8/2.9 -- The source code is at:

https://bitbucket.org/jsbueno/gimp_scripts/raw/b277bb822073f6444fe4336aaf9c2c951044bbac/contact.py

Paste that file as is(*) in your GIMP's plug-in directory. if you are on Mac or Linux, mark it as executable Upon GIMP restart, it should show up as "File->Create->Contact Sheet".

(*) If you have no notion of how to deal with program files, and are on Windows follow these steps - roughly: -Copy all the text on that link with ctrl + a, ctrl + c; - open Windows' notepad (NOT word, libreoffice, wordpad) - or install "notepadplusplus" if notepad does not exist/does not work anymore. - paste the file contents there
- save it as "contacts.py" on your GIMP plug-in folder (you can see its location in GIMP under "edit->preferences->folders->plug-ins"
