As a designer, I’m always learning, new, faster and better ways to do something! One of my most recent discoveries: creating a 5 second contact sheet using Adobe Bridge and InDesign. The functionality may have been around for a while, but it wasn’t until reading "Adobe Master Apprentice" that I suddenly stumbled acrross this incredible feature.
Here’s how it works:
- Instead of having to place the images you wish to sample in InDesign in order to print them, simply collect the images into a folder on your machine.
- Open that folder in Bridge.
- If you’re using CS3 go to the "Tools" menu and select "InDesign".
- Select the option for "contact sheet"
- Choose the number of rows and columns you want (this will adjust the size of the images)
- Watch InDesign do the work for you, automated!
I hope this tip will save you tons of time! Enjoy!
