Printing Contact Sheets with Lightroom 2.0

I know, contact sheets are “Old School” in the world of photography but I still like the feel of skimming images with a negative magnifying glass.  Lightroom really sets you up well if you want to print contact sheets.

After you’ve edited you’re images and your happy with the lot of them it’s time to print… right?  It depends on what you’re going for but for this particular post, yes, we’re going to print some images.  If you’re like me you take a lot of images!  I can shoot 300 frames without breaking a sweat… that’s one of the great things about digital.  So now that you’ve shot 300 frames at 22MB’s an image you want to view them away from your desktop or laptop.

Click on the “PRINT” link in the upper right-hand corner of Lightroom.  You’ll see many many options here.  Make sure you click the first image in your frames at the bottom of the screen, hold shift and click on the last image to select them all.  Below are the settings I used.  Play around to get the results you like and print away!

Here’s what I get.


As always, Enjoy!!!
Justin
