# Print a contact sheet

Contact sheets let you easily preview groups of images by displaying a series of thumbnail images on a single page.

Note: You must open and select files in Bridge before using the Selected Images From Bridge option.
Sample contact sheet

1. In Adobe Bridge, select a folder of images or specific image files. From the Bridge Tools menu, choose Photoshop Elements > Contact Sheet II. Unless you select specific images, the contact sheet will include all images currently displayed in Adobe Bridge. You can select a different image folder or select other currently open images after the Contact Sheet II dialog box opens.
2. In Photoshop Elementschoose File > Contact Sheet II.
3. Click to select an image in Bridge. Shift-click to select a series of images. Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to select noncontiguous images
4. In the Contact Sheet II dialog box, specify the images to use from the Use menu in the Sources images area.
5. In the Document area, specify the dimensions, resolution, and color mode for the contact sheet. Select Flatten All Layers to create a contact sheet with all images and text on a single layer. Deselect Flatten All Layers to create a contact sheet in which each image is on a separate layer and each caption is on a separate text layer.
6. In the Thumbnails area, specify layout options for the thumbnail previews.

   - For Place, choose whether to arrange thumbnails across first (from left to right, then top to bottom) or down first (from top to bottom, then left to right).

   - Enter the number of columns (between 1 and 9) and rows that you want per contact sheet. The thumbnail size and number of rows adjust according to your choice. If the number of photos exceeds the capacity of a single page, more pages are added to accommodate them.

   - Use Auto-Spacing to let Photoshop Elements automatically space the thumbnails in the contact sheet. If you deselect Use Auto-Spacing, you can specify the vertical and horizontal space around the thumbnails.

7. Select Use Filename As Caption to label the thumbnails using their source image filenames. Use the menu to specify a caption font and font size.
8. In Photoshop Elements, choose File > Print.
