Hello,

Adobe Photoshop had an option for taking you group of photos and making a contact sheet with them. Does GIMP have that capability? How?

thanks much

You can try indexprint: http://registry.gimp.org/node/24503

See if it works for you.

I wrote a contact sheet program in Script-Fu a long time ago. It used to be part of the development releases but was not shipped with GIMP. Some people didn't like how it worked. Its probably not even in the development version any more as about half the scripts were removed from the source tree. If you are interested I'm sure I still have a copy on my hard drive somewhere that I can send you.

Cheers!

It's been over a decade since I had occasion to use it, but the Irfanview photo management tool for Microsoft systems could make contact sheets with a variety of options for size, captions based on file names, etc. Also does some simple editing tasks, generates HTML thumbnail galleries complete with HTML code, and probably more tricks since then.

Another option is to use montage from ImageMagick.

contactsheet.py is another GIMP script (put it in your plug-ins folder).

It isn't as feature rich as indexprint but it doesn't require the installation of Glade.

http://registry.gimp.org/node/120

It will appear in "Filters/Batch/Contact Sheet".

You can specify the page size, number of rows, images per row etc.
The text colour and the background colour are set by the foreground and background colours respectively in the tool box.

One word of warning - it doesn't ask before overwriting existing contact print files (its not my script so don;t blame me!)
