How to Make Proof Sheets
A proof sheet, commonly called a contact sheet, is an image that contains the negative images of an entire roll of film. You can use Photoshop to create a contact sheet of whatever images you choose. That contact sheet can be used to allow a client to choose which prints they wants to buy, or as a tool to remind you of what photos were taken on a particular date, or what images are on a disc.
