Contact sheets can be as simple or customized as you like.
Option 1: Use dotScrap Marketplace templates.
In the Start Zone, click on Marketplace, then navigate to the Contact Sheets category
OR on the Create Screen type "contact" in the Search hover.
Enhanced & Extreme users have access to 5 contact sheets in the Bundled Content list.
Follow the instructions provided with the template to output your contact sheets.
Option 2: Create your own template from scratch
| • | Create a new blank canvas to your choice of size. |
|
|
|
| • | Use the splitter to slice the large frame into smaller, equal-sized frames. |
|
|
| • | Select all frames, then right-mouse-down on any one frame. Select FRAME TO SHOW ENTIRE IMAGE. The border will disappear automatically. |
| • | Use the INSET option in the Frame Editor to re-space the frames to provide room for labels. |
|
|
| • | Select all frames, then add text-to-image. Click on the toolbox "T" key to add a text field, then replace the sample text with a text tag of your choice. This will insert information about the image, such as file name, date, etc. |
| • | Choose your font, align the text, change the color, remove the shadow... etc. |
| • | Reposition the text next to the frames, as desired. |
|
|
| • | Extreme users: click on the  hover button, and right-mouse down on the page. Select AUTODUPLICATE. |
| • | If you would like to retain the template for future use, click on FILE >> Save as Template |
|
| • | Bring your image set into the dropper, via the Images hover, or the Organizer/Buckets feature, or by clicking on the Browse for Images  button on the toolbar. DO NOT drop the images onto the canvas. |
| • | Hit AutoPopulate  on the toolbar. |
|
|
| • | FotoFusion will fill your template with the image set, and, if AutoDuplicate is set, create new template pages until no images remain. |
|
|
| • | Output the contact sheet(s) as desired. Render to pdf or other format, publish to web, print or email. |
|
Option 3: Create an email or web contact sheet using the "contact sheet" theme
If you like to quickly email or publish a contact sheet layout, use the Contact sheet theme.
This is useful if you have created an album, or would like to generate an instant contact sheet from a set of images through an AutoCollage.
Consult the email themes section for more details.
