100+ photo collage using PS

Sadly, JJMack passed away recently. I don’t know if he made his scripts available somewhere else, but maybe someone else knows.

I'm sure a programs like Indesign could do the layout much fasten then my Photoshop script.   I do not install Indesign for I do not know how to use it and did not want to purchase an other Adobe application. And I have Photoshop that  has Bridge. But Bridg's output module is not what I wanted  and for is only supports  a few layouts and paper sizes.  Also if the image's aspect ratio does not match the tile's  the will be white boarders in some images.

PasteImageRoll was designed for roll paper support.  However,  you can set any width and length you want. So any Size is supported.  You cans even create small collages  to be used on web pages. The script actually determine the length of the paper by the number of files selected.

My Script does not have a elegant graphical  file selection UI like Bridge or one as good Adobe script  Load Files into a stack. I just lets you select files in a folder. To tile.   All PasteImageRoll  has is a simple Layout dialog that let you set the Size and Resolution you want the document to have.  The Image Tile Size you want used.  Image will be sized to fill the tile size.  The are also option to set  margin white space and white  space between tiles. Images can be rotated for best sit into the tiles spent ration.  If an Image's Aspect Ratio is not the same as the tile  size  the resized image will look like a centered tile aspect ratio crop.  If you edit the script it easy to set default values for the Dialog settings by changing the  dflt Vars near the top of the script.  If you know anything  about scripting you can easily change how the script well build the file list to be tiled.  It just a matter of un commenting one line and commenting the one line that was not comment out.  

The vars

//Set Defaults here
var dfltRes = 300;		// default print PPI
var dfltCpys = 1;		// default image copies
var dfltPw   = 16;		// default roll paper width in inches
var dfltPl   = '';		// default roll paper length in feet. if set to null script will use 100 ft.
var dfltCw   = 4;		// default cell width in inches best if it divides paper with evenly.
var dfltCh   = 6;		// default cell height in inches
var dfltBw   = 0;		// default Border width in inches example .2 for 1/5 inch
var dfltGw   = 0;		// default Grout width in inches example .2 for 1/5 inch
var dfltRt   = true;		// default Rotate image orientation for best fit
var dfltSt   = false;		// default Stamp File Name on bottom of image
var dfltSp   = 1;		// default percent of Document width the text margin
var dfltPos  = 8;		// default position bottom center 
//var dfltFont = "Tahoma";	// Tahoma Tahoma-Bold
var dfltFont = "Calibri-Bold";	// Calibri-Light Calibri-LightItalic Calibri Calibri-Italic Calibri-BoldItalic
var dfltClr  = new SolidColor(); dfltClr.rgb.hexValue = 'ffffff';  // White

File Selection

//var file = buildFilelist ();			// Select image files from any folder till you stop and cancel
var file = selectFile(true);			// Select Image files from a single folder
//var file = selectsImagesFolder(true,true,"jpg");// Select the root of the Image tree and filter jpeg image file types to tiled
//var file = selectsImagesFolder(true,false);	// Select the root of the Image tree all image file types in the tree will be tiled
//var file = selectsImagesFolder(true,true);	// Select the root of the Image tree and filter image file types to tiled
//var file = selectsImagesFolder(false,false);	// Select a folder containg Image files all image file types in the folder will be tiled
//var file = selectsImagesFolder(false,true);	// Select a folder containg Image files and filter image file types to be tiled
