Hello guys from a new member, I'lm looking for a way to automate sprite sheets from single bitmaps. I have several bitmaps (over 30) and I would like to put them all next to each other in one big single .bmp file. I've tried using Photoshop's automated tools (such as contact sheet) but the result is not what I want as it leaves large white spaces between each image and resizes them. A friend of mine told me to use imageready to obtain that result, but I can't seem to find what to do (my file -> export options are grayed out...). does anyone know an automated technique to do that ? If it's using anothe software, that's cool. Thanks in advance, MB

try this thread one of the posted solutions is in ImageReady, it may be what your friend was talking about... Let me know if you have any trouble with the instruction for creating the PS Action or if you want mine, i'll try to dig it up...

ps. you'll want to enlarge your canvas to fit all your images "side-by-side" after you've imported them...

Thanks for your reply! I already knew how to put all my images in the same .psd file in different layers. What I'm trying to do is put them all in the same layer side by side in rows and columns, but without the empty margin created by Contact Sheet. Any help ?

What I would do is follow whatever steps retrocity said to get them all together in one file and do some math. Say each image is one inch by one inch, I would increase my canvas size to handle about five across. Then you would have six rows down. Select and link the layers of your first row and use the Align feature in the Option bar and align them by TOP. Do the next set of images for the second row, and so on, and so on...

You can also Distribute across to spread them evenly.
Just merge your layers after you're done.

Photoshop CS includes Contact Sheet II which allows you to play with lots of paramaters to avoid white spaces and resizing. - Ken Heronheart -
