Packaging Multiple Images from the Bridge
Our final exercise is a cakewalk compared with the others in this
lesson. In it, I’ll show you how to package multiple photos onto a
single page to create a contact sheet, perfect for documenting the
contents of a folder on a CD or hard drive.
The Bridge has a feature that can scale and align images into regular
rows and columns and then export one or more pages as a printable,
distributable, widely compatible PDF file. This feature is available
not in Photoshop but rather in the Bridge. Here’s how it works:
- Go to the Mural Renamed folder. Assuming that
you’re working in Photoshop, click the icon in the
application bar or press Ctrl+Alt+O (�-Option-O)
to launch the Bridge. Then navigate your way to the Lesson 12
folder inside Lesson Files-PsCS5 1on1. Therein, you’ll find a
subfolder called Mural Renamed. Click it to see the group of a
dozen images that show my progress in painting Max’s mural,
all renamed according to my instructions in the “Batch Re-
naming” exercise that began way back on page 32 of Lesson 1.
