So you are a pro... so you are an amateur, so you are hobbyist;
You are asked to show what you you shot yesterday, and the one that is asking, wants some prints.
We call that proofs

Make sheets if images with filenames!!

Yes, one or many sheets of thumbnail images with filenames so you can locate them easily when aunt Susie finally decides which ones she wants printed.
Perhaps you think you can do it?   Can you do it in 15 seconds, +/- 10 seconds?

The challenge of the 15 seconds isn't a speed race, but rather to see if you can find tools that are already there for you in Qimage Ultimate.
You could comply with the challenge manually in probably 15 minutes, but then you might as well slog and plod through Photo Shop.  Wink

Snap 075 is the Start point.
Snap 074 is the finish point.

Have fun!

I have not used this feature for some years.

A new try this morning took 2 minutes.

I was not satisfied with the result.

I used to use FastStone contact sheet creator so fired it up and tried it again.

I got much better results.

In QUltimate I used Custom > Contact Sheet With Info  4 x 4 16 per page.  Am I in the wrong area??
On screen the info is too small to be readable, putting the info on each image in large print is very readable but time consuming.

What am I missing?

My FastView contact sheet under.

Try Custom; 28 up
The filenames are in there automatically

Yes file names are there but still too small. And it takes a long time working from raw files.

Now din din time, will have to return to challange  later

Have no idea where you are bogged down.
You simply go to Custom, Predefined page, select Contact Sheet 28 up, or 16 up (I assume 8.5 x 11 paper size).
Then CTRL A on the thumbs. Hit the INSERT Key on the keyboard: DONE!
It has nothing to do with Raw or cooked images.

Just back to subject after a long dindin

I am not bogged down

I have just expended a sheet of cheap paper and the info prints fine, (shows on screen very very small and unreadable) but that does not matter.

Working from QUltimate each thumb is processed from the raw and does take a little time, not significant for a few but would be substantial if doing two or three hundred.

I suspect FastStone works on the embedded jpeg so is much faster, but much lower quality which would be a factor if contact sheet was for appraisal.

I used to use contact sheets for a visual record of the master dvd disk of my images, but discontinued the practice when I found out how much ink was being used on my B & W laser printer.

Still a handy feature to be au fait with.

Tsk Tsk...
1) I live in Florida, but when I saw my electric bill for the Air Conditioning, I shut it off!

2) The cost of gasoline (similar to petrol) became so exorbitant that I walk everywhere.
2a) I have to look into the cost of shoe leather.

3) The cost of replacing underwear became so expensive that I stopped wearing any....

Laser printers use toner, don't they?

Yes, but toner or ink at £40 a time still expensive for a mean B like me, I still base cost considerations on my starting wage just after the Crimean

I missed this one so here is a template I made some time ago.
16 thumbs on an A4 page with a header of the file path, page number and exif data etc. below each thumb.
See attached.
