Hello, my school has a yearbook and I'm doing my class page on photoshop, our idea was to make photos and then I would photoshop each one of us holding a card with our name like in prisons, I mean I know how to do that but is there a fast way to make this photoshop for each person and then place it in a A4 page With the right measures of each photo since there's 22 of us
…is there a fast way to make this photoshop for each person and then place it in a A4 page With the right measures of each photo since there's 22 of us…
…And how could I do that in InDesign ?

See if the yearbook team is already using InDesign, because many yearbooks are laid out in it because it’s efficient at designing documents with many pages. If you want to instantly lay out all 22 photos on one InDesign page as a grid, you can use the Gridify feature as shown in the demo below. This is what happens in the demo:
1. Select the 22 images on the desktop or Adobe Bridge.
2. Drag all of them and drop them on the InDesign layout.
3. The pointer changes to the Place icon with the number of loaded images on the icon. If you see (22) then all 22 images are loaded and ready.
4. Begin dragging the Place icon, but do not release the mouse yet.
5. Press the up arrow key to add rows, and press the right arrow key to add columns. A grid large enough to contain 22 images should have five rows and columns.
6. When you see the right number of rows and columns, release the mouse button, and the grid is both created and filled with the 22 loaded pictures.
You can also lay out the page in Photoshop, but it will take longer. One way is to use nonprinting guides to set up a layout (View > Guides > New Guides Layout) and set up a layout of five rows and columns. Then drag and drop each image into the document window, and fit each picture into its grid cell. Or you could lay out the 22 cells in advance using the Frame tool and then drop one photo into each placeholder frame; this would save you the trouble of manually resizing each image.
Another way is to set up a grid layout is by opening Adobe Bridge, switching to the Output layout, and setting up a grid with the number of rows and columns you need. Add the 22 images into the layout by dragging and dropping all of them at once from the Content panel, and then click the Export to PDF button. If you want to add anything else to the page like text, you would have to add it in another application.
