Instructions Step 1: Open Adobe Bridge To create a Contact Sheet, in our classroom, we will be using Adobe Bridge. There are different ways to create a contact sheet using various programs and formats. This allows your teacher to look through your images and see how you did and how they can possibly help you if you had any issues. Whenever you take photos you will be asked to turn in a Contact Sheet to show you’ve met those requirements. In digital photography these are generated on the computer.įor this class, we create Contact Sheets to have proof of showing you tried different ways to take photos for assignments/projects, not just going out and shooting the required prompts. For every assignment/project there will be a required 30shot minimum that you will need to aim for. The Contact Sheet(also called Contract Proof) is a positive print of all the negative images from a roll of 35mm film or medium format film from Film Photography. Contact sheets are typically made to allow the photographer to view a mini-preview of all the film to determine which photographs are best to print. What is a Contact Sheet? Why do we need one?
