Andy Marsh Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Hi folks, Do you think that you might add a contact sheet generator like the Photoshop/Automate/Contact Sheet II in Adobe products? Personally I use this function to generate contact sheets for my creative projects and I know a lot of creatives who use this function. Maybe there is a workaround method using a macro? Thanks, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pšenda Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Do you want this feature for Affinity Photo? So after the photo editing program? I think it would fit the Affinity Publisher.

fde101 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Maybe the still-little-known-about-it future DAM product could generate a contact sheet from an album of Photos, as a Publisher document? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I seldom need that feature but I use ContactSheetMaker to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWR Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 The ability to make contact sheets is a useful feature that Affinity Photo should have. I make contact sheets from time to time and I miss this feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fde101 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 The problem is that Photo works with one document at a time, so your contact sheet would always have a single image on it. Generating a contact sheet that spans multiple photos goes against the nature of the program. I still think it would be a better fit for the DAM solution than for the existing software. If any of the current Affinity products should get this feature it should be Publisher, though in a modified form - I could see being able to select a bunch of objects (photos or whatever) on a page and use an "Arrange as a Grid" command or similar, and possibly an option to display a source filename below or over top of each placed image. If the grid arrangement specified too few columns/rows to hold the selected images, they could spill onto the next page... adrianlambert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
