I need to print about 200 images for preview for clients.

I want to place 4 or 9 images on a 4*6

Since I'm not printing at home the program needs to output jpegs

Do you know of anything like this?

I've never done it; but try Picasa; google's image viewer/organizer/post processing tool.

It's free/small/fast!

If you highlight a few pix; then go to print; it appears that you could do what you are trying to do:

if you take it to a photo place you can probably have them print on 4x6.

Since you aren't outputting to a printer,. I doubt any of the conventional mehtods witll work.. Picassa is going to print a contact sheet,. what you need is to save files for printing eleswhere. It almost seems like you will need to make individual jpegs that are 4 thumbs in a single file.

I don't know of anything that will automate that for you...

All I can see is creating a bunch of thumbs and then pasting into a 4X6 canvas and arranging them.. and saving the files.

Sounds like loads of work.

Canon photo record 2.0 will do it. I just tried it to be sure. First click on 'select paper' and choose 4x6. Then click on printer and album type. click on "others" and under drop down menu choose contact sheet. It will let you choose how many rows and colums.

Adobe PS has the Contact Sheet under "File" and "Automate". You can specify rows and columns. You can also specify the size of the contact sheet. Just point it to the directory that your images are in and presto! Here is a quick one I made using PS5. CS2 also has it.

to add to the previous post, you can include filenames in adobe's contact sheet too.

My main issue with Photoshop's contact sheet, is that the images tend to be really small if you have the filenames on, but this could be fixed in more recent versions (I'm on PS6)
