Introduction

This is what we'll create in this episode: a contact sheet with 9 photos in a 3x3 grid, placed all at once in a single row. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe InDesign series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. For albums, catalogs, or event documentation, placing photos one by one is very slow. InDesign can place many photos at once in a grid format. Create a new A4 document.

Step 1: Selecting multiple photos

Press Ctrl D, then select several photos at once by holding Ctrl and clicking, or press Ctrl A to select all. Click Open.

Step 2: Cursor with a number

The loading cursor now displays the number 9, which is the number of photos ready to be placed. Press the left or right arrow key to select which photo will be placed first.

Step 3: Grid with Control Shift drag

Hold Ctrl and Shift, then start dragging from the top-left corner. While dragging, press the right arrow key to add columns and the up arrow key to add rows. We'll create 3 columns and 3 rows.

Pi 4, Grid result

Release the mouse. 9 frames are formed with the same size and spacing, each containing one photo directly.

Sa 4, Grid result

Without this grid, we would have to draw and align 9 frames manually.

ml gah 4 Grid result

Select all the photos, then apply fill frame proportionally.

ke 5: Cleaning up fit

Each photo fills its frame, making the grid look uniform. If there's a face or important object that's cropped, adjust it using the content grabber.

nga 6: Contact sheet title

Add a title above the grid using the Type tool, for example, 'Cultural Festival Documentation'. The contact sheet is now ready to be sent to the client to choose the best photos. Done.

created a grid with shift drag control and arrow keys, and cleaned up the fitting.
