Windows 10 Tip: Print Thumbnails of All Pictures in a Folder

Back in the mean solar day of moving-picture show photography, in that location was something  chosen a contact canvass. A contact sheet was a single print of everything on a roll of flick. In the age of digital photography, Windows 10 makes it like shooting fish in a barrel to print a "contact" sail of thumbnails of all pictures in a binder. And it's really easy to do.

With its default settings you can impress 35 thumbnails on a single sheet of standard size printer paper — which in the U.s. is 8.v inches past 11.0 inches. If you accept more than than 35 pictures in a folder, it will print them on another canvass of paper. For case, if you have 100 pictures in a folder, 35 thumbnails will be printed on the first piece of paper, 35 on the second and 30 on the tertiary.

If yous've ever wanted to print quick contact sheets of all pictures (equally thumbnails) in a folder, here's how to practice it on Windows 10:

Open up the folder which contains the pictures you want to use to brand your contact sheet.

Select the pictures yous desire to be on the contact canvas. If you desire all the pictures in a folder, select one picture and then press CTRL+A.

When all the pictures you want to print as thumbnails on a contact sail are selected, right-click on one of the selected pictures and cull "Print" from the right-click carte:

The Print Pictures dialog will open. Your printer volition be selected. You lot can choose Paper size, Quality, and Newspaper type. The defaults on this computer are "Letter" for the size, "Normal" for the quality and "Plain paper" for the newspaper type . Yous tin adjust these to your specs.

From the icon menu on the right in the "Print Pictures" dialog, choose "Contact canvass" (the lesser icon in the menu):

When you click the "Contact sheet" icon y'all'll see a preview of your contact canvass appear in the window. This is a preview of the first page of thumbnails.  For this tutorial I chose 35 images in a folder… that is one printed sheet.
