Ok so I've been using photoshop for a couple of years now and only tonight have I managed to figure out how to create contact sheets, I thought I'd share with you all, These are perfect for texture artists and template makers.
Place all files that you wish to appear on your sheet into one folder, Click file, click automate, click contact sheet ll.
Browse to your folder, input size, how many rows, columns ect (or leave it as default) click ok
Photoshop does the rest.

New Tutorials Community
Hi all,
I haven't posted in awhile so thought I'd give you all an update.
I recently created forums for secondlife & graphics designers. Why?
Well for 1 the official forums have a lot of great resources available but for some reason they have barred residents who don't have payment info on file, I think that this is highly unfair, everybody should have the same rights to access helpful tutorials and resources no matter what their payment status is.
2) whilst there a few tutorial sites out there none really have a feeling of community and if a new user dares ask for help on the official forums majority of the time they are berated and made to feel like complete idiots.
So I created GraphicsSecondlife which will provide tutorials & resources for creation in secondlife aswell as out of secondlife. But more then that its a community where it doesn't matter how new to graphics design you are, you will be welcomed and treated with courtesy and respect.
Atm you will find the following tutorials some found on other sites along the way and other are hand written by me.
Alpha tutorials using paint shop pro
Creating fabric folds using dodge & burn in photoshop (PSP version coming shortly)
Building tutorials
Land tutorials
Business tutorials
You can add your own tutorials aswell or add something to the tuts already available.
I hope you feel comfortable enought to join us here at GraphicsSecondlife and look forward to reading any and all of your posts.

Fabric Fold Brushes
Posted By Secondlife Resident Ceres Eilde
Someone said something about needing brushes for fabric wrinkles yesterday. I'd been playing around with fold textures that I made, so I turned them into brushes, threw together some more, and posted them with a tutorial at my graphics LJ.
http://community.livejournal.com/solitarytree/6016.html
I hope they're useful-- feel free to modify them for your own needs.
(And there's a Paypal button on that journal's profile, should anyone desire to show appreciation that way. Though you don't have to; these brushes are free!)
