Anyone know how to do this?

Post by js11110 »

Like most of us, I have a lot of EPS & AI Vector files and I would like to create a printed catalogue of the images with the file name under each image. Does anyone know of a good / quick way of doing this? Maybe put like 9 of 12 images on a page so I can quickly find a image instead of freaking out because I know I have the image I want, but I don't know the filename. Any suggestions?

I use a program called ACDsee to print contact sheets and it'll show eps, ai and all that stuff. I think there's a way to do this in photoshop too if you've got it.

Here's a link to ACDsee http://www.acdsee.com/

Jason, In PhotoShop if you have it....

Click on file browser
then click on the folder where your files are located...
then click automate
then click "contact sheet 2"

this will print out thumbnails with the file name
in any format you want...I use the 16 to a page and it works pretty good.

I used a program that converted the EPS files to JPG and then created a web page of the images. (The web page is for internal use only.)

I purchased a program for viewing a wide variety of vector formats. You can set the size of the display and how many will display on a page. This is their website http://www.softfields.com/
