Why use Contact Sheets?
Viewing a collection of pictures as thumbnails is nothing new and has its obvious advantages. Snap2IMG enhances this by saving the thumbnail views as individual images. Here are some scenarios where this can be useful:- Index image folders that you don't have readily accessible, for example external harddrives and CD's.
- Upload to forums to preview linked attachments.
- Keep as a memory of image libraries you don't need or want anymore, before you delete it.
- Easily share thumbnails with friends
- Upload contact sheets to your homepage
- Create a showcase image for all icons in an icon pack
- Each folder is "compressed" into a single file. Since folders with many files can take a lot of time just to list, working with contact sheets can be much quicker.
- Easy to navigate: Use the next/previous shortcut keys in the image viewer to "change" folder (Typically the PageUp/PageDown keys).
- Configure your contact sheets to show just the information you are interested in.
