Hi
I need a PS action which creates a single image consisting of an P
times Q grid of small parts of a large number of input images. The
number of input images may vary. The number of input images maybe
upto 1000.
The process of recording such an action would be practically
impossible; and this has to be done for each different sized set of
input images.
Does PS support a textual format for its actions so that I can
generate the action needed for each certain input set?
Thanks for listening,
This is probably a job for scripting:

Another approach would be to use Photoshop's automation API, and the
language of your choice, C#, VB, C++, etc.
Both of the above methods could be adapted to do both the splitting and
the
re-assembly.
A third way that might work for just the assembly portion would be to use
Bridge. Create a folder (or a collection within Bridge) with your images,
then use Bridge's Output Module to assemble the images into a pdf or web
page.

Or you can install the old contact sheet feature:

Do a search on Photomosaic and you may find references to third party
utilities, many of them freeware, that might help.
