Since I have Bridge in my Adobe subscription, I find it very handy to view them there. I can vary the size of the displayed images, and view a selected one full size when needed. And since I am working on an IMAC, Bridge can occupy a separate screen from LR, Photoshop, or Luminar Ai.
Great one, Anthony. Speaking of printing it would be great if you could do a some tutorials on print colour management. Plenty of tutorials out there, but I'm sure that your ability to boil things down to their essence would produce something both unique and valuable.
Dropped all things Adobe ( except for Bridge ) as I'm not a professional and tired of renting. So Now On1 photo Raw and Affinity Photo is my Dig dark room tools. Watched this with intention of doing same operation in On1. Bet it will work. Thanks for the idea. Might make contact sheets in Albums and look/see on second monitor instead of printing.
This feels like a throwback to film days when I made a contact sheet for every roll I developed. Ah, the memories! So why didn't I think of this? Well for one, I didn't know Lr had this capability. But I've been collecting skies into a couple of folders I call "stock skies" for years, so I really could better organize them. This is a nice way (and reason) to do just that. Thanks, Anthony. An enthusiastic thumbs up for this one.
Overall a good idea and tutorial although I would never bother to print the contact sheet but would rather save it as a jpeg file I could then view when needed. I did a couple of things differently. My sky collections are also in folders of 25, seems to be how a lot of collections are packaged. So I decided to just make a contact sheet with 25 images on it, easily done by choosing 5 rows and 5 columns in the Layout panel. I find that I see the images better when the background page color is black instead of white so I checked the Page Background Color under Page and chose black; now all the sky images on the contact sheet float on a field of black and the name of each sky is in white type and easy to read. I also wanted to really fill the 8 1/2 x 11 page size and went with Landscape instead of Portrait; just go to Page Setup at the bottom of the left panel. A Print Setup window pops up and I clicked on Landscape and OK. So now I have a nice JPEG I can bring up, it's big and easy to see and the images fill the page.
Hi Anthony, please advise if a contact sheet is available with Luminar Neo? I opine I do wonder whether, like your site playlists, if sorting them out first and into smaller groups is something you do, please? Eg: I have over 40k images filed by location and type giving two duplicates for each image. I opine it seems catalogues might be easier to keep control of than contact sheets. In my opinion I wonder if your mention of contact sheets is eg for presentation rather than an entire collection please? I look forward to your reply, Thanks and Regards JB
This is just my opinion. Even if it's a once in a life time trip. Stop replacing thinks or adding things that was not in your photo to begin with. After you add or replace something it's now fake.

WOW, wonder why I did not think of that? Fact is, I didn't. You did. Thanks Anthony for this idea. I will be doing this today. ANOTHER GREAT ONE

Very helpful. I've had a hard time doing contact sheets, so this will help a lot.
Ooh! Wow, really useful
Excellent idea Anthony!
On1 uses contact sheets can this be done the same way with file names good idea by the way
