CREATING A CONTACT SHEET IN ADOBE BRIDGE.

This week we learn't how to create a contact sheet in the Adobe Bridge software. As previously mentioned the task was to put all of our Stanmer Park photos into a contact sheet at the end of the lesson.
Our tutor helped us by creating a step by step guide to making a contact sheet:
1. Using the folders panel you can navigate your images
2. In the content panel, you arrange the images in the order that you want them to appear in the gallery
3. Activate the images you want to include by holding "cmd" and clicking on each selected photo
4. At the top of the Bridge panel bar click the output button
5. In the output window click PDF
6. In the template tab, choose the contact sheet of your choice
7. In the document panel, select and edit the size, quality and background as you require it
8. Scroll down to the layout panel and adjust columns and rows as needed
9. Check and edit the overlays, header, footer and watermark panels
10. Go back to the output panel and click "Refresh Preview" to get a sneak peek at your contact sheet
11. On the bottom of the Output panel, press save and your contact sheet is complete!

Here's the contact sheet I created using photographs I have taken from Stanmer Park:



I also did some online research and found a really helpful youtube video for making a contact sheet:
