Hi I have Been given the task of taking photos to be used as as staff ID cards how can i place the images on a Photoshop file and allow me to print as a normal 6x4 image?


Many thanks

Try File -> Automate -> Contact Sheet in photoshop (CS3)
 
Or if you have Lightroom, you can use that too.
 
Hi Michael

Your photographs are going to be 2"x2" if you want 6 on one 6x4 sheet. You do not say whether you want 6 the same or six different ones but the method is almost the same.

1) open your photo and resize to 2x2 or photos if different

2) If there are all of one photo now duplicate it (find in image drop down menu)

3) Now select canvas size (find in image drop down menu)

4) Change the settings to 6"x4" and in the set of boxes select the top left hand one

5) click OK

6) you will now have a 6x4 image with your photo in the top left corner

7) select your duplicate and drag it over, placing it next to the one already there

8) repeat instruction 6 until all photos are there

9) flatten layers (found under layers drop down)

10) Print

thanks for your replies I will work on that later today.


Michael.
 
how do you do a contact sheet is CS4 - the options aren't the same and I tried one of the tutorials online on how to do it but the options weren't there

You need to download the extras from adobe as it was not in the release for CS4.

Do a google for contact sheet in CS4 and you will get a link to download the add-ons.
