How to Do a Contact Sheet in CS5
A contact sheet gives you a quick way to create a portfolio of all the photos in your computer folder. Photoshop CS5 uses Contact Sheet II to automatically arrange digital images as thumbnails in columns and rows. It lets you add a caption below each image, based on the image's file name to eliminate confusion. You can also instruct the application to rotate your images on the page instead of rotating them manually.
