From Photoshop: Open the pictures and crop with fixed size crop, save or save as. This is my least prefered option for this kind of work.

From Bridge: Select and open the pictures in Camera RAW and use a fixed ratio crop on all the files. You can crop all the files in one operation, but you need probably to review each file to get the crop adjusted. You can use the save option to "batch"-save the files. I always apend a "-m" for modified to the file name. Working like this gives you a non-destructive workflow.

In InDesign: create your page layout and import the uncropped files into the frames. You can resize and move the picture as you wish, without a problem. You can then export as PDF or any other useful format. I personally would prefer this option.

I have already placed the cropped photos on a new background. Some are larger or smaller than the size I want them. Is there a way to select them all, by layers perhaps, and size them all the same? Or should I have done that prior to placing them in the new document?

For up the 53 Images you can use a Photo collage template and my scripts to populate the template. Template are very easy to create and you how good or elaborate is up to your creativity. Images can be any size the will be resized and fitted by the scripts.

For more than 53 Images you can layout the images the size you want ina a document. With the Paste Image Roll Script in the Photo collage toolkit. No template is required. You just specify the paper size and tile size and if you want white space the size of the white space. The Collage scripts can stamp file names on images. The Paste Image Coll can not.

Here is a video of a Collage populating script in action. http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/Populate911_720p.mp4

File > Scripts > Image Processor.

Use Select folder to batch the files from, and check Resize to Fit.

If you are using Windows, I tend to use Irfanview in preference to Image Processor, as it has more options

IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide

I think I am beyond the point of resizing the folders in the folder. They are all 4x5 size. I have them all (30) on different layers on a background, however they are all slightly different sizes by looking at the grid. Is there a way to select all the layers and make them all the same size using free transform or something?

I 'think' our JJMack 's scripts might have a routine that will do that. John will get a notification of being mentioned in this thread, and no doubt pop by when he gets a chance.

If you resize the files to the same size, then File > Automate > Contact Sheet II will do the job. It's several years since I used it, but if you turn off Use Auto Spacing and set the gaps to zero, Turn off Captions,m and uncheck Flatten layers you'll be most of the way there. I am guessing about the spacing, so you might have to experiment with that, and you need to leave it layered so you can fine tune position if required.

I just checked and it was 2007 when I last used it to produce this montage. I overlapped the images so I could mask out-of-frame elements.
