How to do Creative Photography Montages with a Contact Sheet Template in Photoshop

April 30, 2020 By Good Glass Leave a Comment

You can make your own creative contact montage in photoshop. You can do so by using one of the templates provided or checking out stock image photography for ones you find desirable. You want to make sure your document is in a size multiple of 6. 24 cm will work fine for a starter project. Then you can use the ruler and grid tools to line up your contact sheet. You use menu -> new guide to place your grid perfectly so you don’t have to do it by hand. You can make one large image or you can merge many photos into one rasterization.

Key Takeaways:

  • You can create a contact sheet directly from one of your film negatives.
  • To create your contact sheet place your negative directly on light sensitive paper before you expose it to light.
  • When you use different sizes and brands of film, the result is distinct borders, any of which can create an interesting film montage.
