Quick printing photos to CMYK

[pedderd@adobeforums.com]

I wonder if anyone can suggest a quick way to print photo thumbnails to a CMYK copier/printer device.

Photos come out nice and colourful when I place them in Indesign or photoshop and adjust the colour setting to CMYK default, but they are horrible when printing from say ACDSee (obviously has no colour setting in that software).

But, it takes a lot of time setting up a frame, then placing each photo, then resizing and centering before printing in InDesign. Sometime I have dozens of photo thumbnails to print. ACDSee makes thumbnails easy to print by allowing you to select 2x3, 3x3 etc.

Is there an easy way to print photo thumbnails with colour settings using any Adobe products ?

Thanks.

You might try Photoshop's Contact Sheet function. This can be customized to
the size you like, and works by selecting a folder containing the files.

Or, if you are up to it, you could write a script to automate the import and
sizing in InDesign.

Thanks Larry. The contact sheet seems a good option - although it doesn't maximise the area for each photo.....is there a way to do this ?

you can adjust size, number of rows etc. but that's about it.
