I'm in storyboard hell. I have to place about 400 separate images in sequence on a huge board in photoshop. So I have a 20,000 px by 10,000 px board and a load of layers which have been imported in the correct sequence, I really really want to find a nice way of distributing the layers edge to edge left-to-right then cascading downwards on my canvas.

Can anyone think of a way to avoid me having to do this manually for hours (and imagine if I have to remove or reorganize some in future ... sickening)

I would use Bridge to make a PDF Contact Sheet:



To do this in Bridge, go to Window → Workspace → Output

You can specify the output size as well as the number of columns and rows. Whether or not it will be able to process a 20k x 10k pixel output remains to be seen I suppose, I've certainly never tried something of that magnitude.

Alright, so I just tried and the maximum pixel size you can enter is 4096. Maybe you can get crafty and generate a bunch and stitch them together?



Alternatively, if you're set on using Photoshop then you could use a plugin to create a contact sheet. For help with that: Photoshop /
Create a contact sheet (CS5)
