Quote:Thank you for pointing out that I may be too stupid to use GIMP. I now feel very welcome to repost on this forum. All I did was ask a question. I don't think the "then I advise not using GIMP" remark was needed. But I will check out the plugin. I truly hope that is simple enough that I can understand it.

I posted that because of prior experience of the plugin. If you go to this page:
http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=15338#p211963 that is your starter for 50 posts on the trials and tribulations of installing the plugin. What is straight forward in linux is less so for Windows. I hope you succeed.

What I did was offer an alternative. Again I could have offered command line ImageMagick for a batch file, something like

Code:

montage ^
  -geometry 296x196^>+2+2 ^
  -tile 6x6 ^
  -density 300 ^
  *.jpg ^
  m2.tiff

That will produce an image, load it into Gimp and print it off.

What I did offer was a simple alternative and one that I use, XnViewMP. A free relatively uncomplicated image manager, Set it up to open an image in Gimp if you want, make a contact sheet image if you want, directly print a page of thumbnails if that is required. No one is saying that you are unable to use Gimp.
