Yeah, I know – it’s Wednesday. Jenn and I have been busy with a new business venture but we wanted to get this quick and useful tip out to all of the ScrapKitty Family.
As you advance in digiscrapping, you get a lot of kits. And elements, and papers. It’s hard to keep them all organized. We have seen some people print out the previews for the kits and file them in a binder. Did you know Photoshop has a quick and easy way to do this for you? (Photoshop Elements users – see our post next week for how to do this.) This works for any groups of photos you want to see printed quickly.
It uses a feature called Contact Sheet II. Go to File-Automate-Contact Sheet II. You get this dialog box:
Select the folder where the pictures are OR open them in Photoshop first and select Current Open Documents. Select the page size (8×10 is good), 300 pixels/inch and check Flatten All layers. Select your number of rows and columns (3×4 will get 12 to a page). Click “Show file name as caption” and it will put the name of the file underneath the picture so you know what that kit is called. Hit Okay and watch the fun! This is the result:
Pretty Cool! As always, leave us a comment or questions and until next time -
Keep Scrappin!

For all you designergals out there, this is how I sort out my kits. Sometimes I just need to see it all without having to scroll around on my screen, then I can choose what’s going into the crop gifts, add on, blog freebie, all that fun stuff.
This is a great way to get a handle on just what I have in that file!!
