Creating a promo sheet in Lightroom
One way to create a promo sheet in Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom™ is to use a Contact Sheet template such as 4x5 Contact Sheet or 5x8 Contact Sheet, and then include an Identity Plate. As a photographer who also has worked a long time as a magazine editor, I can’t really recommend those numbers. It puts too many photos on a page for a promo sheet. They are fine for a contact sheet as a reference, but they make the images too small for any editor or photo buyer to really see them adequately. In this tutorial, I’ll show you what I recommend.
