Software that will Display your images in a Tiled Format

[gerry297]

<p>I am looking for software that will tile images on the screen from a single folder allowing the viewer to see multiple images on one screen and permit a double click to enlarge any single image to provide more detail. any help here is appreciated.<br>

<p>PC? Mac?<br>

look at breezebrowser on PC's.</p>

[keith reeder]

<p>By "viewer", do you mean <em>someone else</em> looking at the images? In other words, are you looking for a presentational tool?</p>

<p>If so, Breezebrowser isn't it.</p>

<p>Are you actually talking about an online "gallery", Gerry?</p>

<p>Do you mean like on a website? If so, Wordpress will do that with its own Jetpack plug-in. When you display a gallery of images on a page or in a post, you can select "Tiled" as the display layout. That's the easiest one I know, but there are others. Look for what they call "masonry".</p>

<p>Any of a number of "skins" (templates) for JAlbum will do that, I think.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the responses. More details: I will be doing a shoot at an location other than my home or office (onsite). I want to display the images on my laptop (pc) at the site for the customer to view (preferably in a tiled format as opposed to one image at a time). Not on the internet, just on my laptop. Thanks <br>

<p>A JAlbum skin like this (there are many others) might suit your needs. JAlbum doesn't need to be hosted on the Internet. I've used it to make displays for use just on my own computer:</p>

<p>If you use Photoshop you can make a webpage gallery that will display on your computer without posting to the web or use PDF Presentations<br>

<p>You can do this with Lightroom. If you want, you can tether your camera to your laptop using LR, capture each image you shoot, and when you are done, view the images in LR's "Library" where you can view all the shots you took--double click the images you want to view more closely and they will fill your screen. LR also has a built in slide-show function where you could playback your photos from the shooting session. </p>

<p>I have heard of lots of deals on LR this holiday season if you don't own it already. You would need a USB cord to tie the PC/camera together (if you want to view them while you are shooting--otherwise just drop your media card in your reader and open in LR).</p>

<p>Irfanview. Its free. You can open any number of Irfanview programs. So you click to open four different picture files. Then minimize everything except the 4. Right click on the bottom bar and click Show Windows Side by Side. Each picture will be in a quarter of the screen. One caveat, each will contain the top and bottom bars. You can expand o full screen and of the 4 if you wish to see it bigger and then go back to the 4 on the full screen. I use windows. Don't know if this is available for Apple.</p>

<p>Looks like this.</p>

<p>Looks like this</p>

<p>You can also do edits of the picture using Irfan without having to close any of the other three. Bounce around. Irfan is PS, but has a lot of basic editing stuff in it to compare simple changes.</p>

[AlanKlein]

<p>I found another feature in Irfanview. You can select any number of photos and create a contact sheet for display on your full screen (or print). Here's the 4 you wanted.</p>

<div></div>

[AlanKlein]

<p>Unliken the first set of 4, you cannot open each to edit. Here's another of the contacts showing 9 images at once.</p><div></div>

[gerry297]

<p>Thanks for all the help here, I will take a serious look at each option presented and let you know the verdict at the appointed time. Thanks again and Merry Christmas to all.<br>

<p>A latecomer addition- if you have Lightroom-<br>

Select your images in library<br>

Open the "Web" module<br>

Create an "airtight PostcardViewer" Gallery<br>

Export it to a folder , and open the index.html file to view the gallery in any browser (with Flash)<br>

The images show as thumbnails, and one mouse click enlarges the selected image. Another click back to the thumbnails.</p><div></div>

[robbi_cooler]

<p>And one image-</p><div></div>

<p>What the OP is possibly asking for is tiling that maintains the aspect ratio, similar to what Flickr and SmugMug do now. I, too, wanted this, and wrote my own PHP program to do it. The algorithm is kind of interesting, given the constraints: No cropping, and the left and right margins must be maintained (except for the last row). Sorry, I don't know of any apps that do this. (In some of the examples shown above, it looks like the images may have been cropped. Or, perhaps they are just all naturally 4x3. Mine, however, aren't.)</p>

[AlanKlein]

<p>The example I original showed, all the pictures were 4x3. But you can have different formats. Below I cropped one of them to show how it would look. You can still open to full size any of them and then reduce it to display the 4 again or whatever number you original set it up for.. </p><div></div>

Picasa would be perfect

<p>PhotoMechanic for OS X or Windows is a very popular photo editor among photo agencies, PJs, and event shooters with excellent thumbnail viewing features. Its main feature is that it's wicked-fast. It's also very handy for ingest to multiple folders, batch-re-naming, IPTC data editing, etc. I think it's best-in-class for what it does.</p>
