Subject: Re: [Leica] making contact prints

For those of you using the PhotoShop Contact sheet feature, I just 
discovered a tip on the Adobe forum.  You can unclick "Use Filename" and 
make the contact sheets without labels, then in PhotoShop use the Text tool 
to add labels in any size font you want.  This really helped me fit the 
filenames under the thumbnails.

I cut my negatives up and mount them in hanging slide pages, 20 to a 
page.  I make the contact sheets to match each page - 20 thumbnails to a 
page.  It's easier to scan negatives and file them by subject in the slide 
mounts.  I can also discard all of those awful out-of-focus shots that 
always seem to be in the middle of strip!

Leically,

Tina
