Please take a look at this mock-up. Is is a screen shot of the CS canvas and I pasted 4 pictures into it.

The pictures are 10in x 8in at 240 DPI-

Arange Tile produces scrollbars which is unacceptable for my purpose which is: Event Photography.

I want to show four different pictures side by side to be able to upsell. Up to now I make the pictures (Actions)

and Control-Tab to cicle through the four pictures

Can a script do this?

Thanks for reading.

If If  If you have only 4 open documents in Photoshop. If they all have landscape aspect ratio. I would think a simple action would be all that is needed. Try this one on for size http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/Tile4.atn    If there are still vertical scroll bars add and additional zoom out step for each image in the action. Its simple. On my UXAG display 1600x1200 this action works for 3:2 landscape images.

The four images look each look like a collage. The four images together look like a collage of four collages.  If contact sheet does not do what you want it would be easy to create a collage template for four images on a gray background and create an action to help populate the template. In my Photoshop Image Visualization package there is a collage toolkit using four simple it is easy to create collage template and populate them using some of the included actions. There are some examples included here http://mouseprints.net/old/dpr/Examples/ with links to the documentation and file downloads. A simple example: http://mouseprints.net/old/dpr/Examples/911.jpg

Thanks JJMack

My bad wording misled you and others. I do not want collages or contactact sheets. I want to tile like: using Window-Arrange-Tile which produces a tile but with scroll bars as you can se in this screen shot.

I want the pictures to tile without the scollbars.

Althougth it would be a fairly straight forward script. can you not just use contact sheet (file -> automate -> contact sheet) for placing four photos together as one image?

I guess I explained it badly. I do not want to make collages or put several pictures together into one.

I want to tile my collages on the canvas like using Window-Arrange-Tile which tilesas you can see here on this screen shot but produces scroll bars.
