In this video, I take on a viewer's challenge to create two distinct contact sheet layouts using Data Merge in Affinity Publisher.

The first layout is a structured grid of 100 images on a huge 100cm by 100cm canvas, while the second demonstrates a more creative approach with nine different Data Merge Layouts, each customized with unique rotation and scale. You'll learn how to efficiently add images to your layout, whether to embed or link images, and how to automate the entire process with Data Merge.

Quickly create a visually stunning contact sheet with your images and lots of them! My latest video will show you exactly how to do that, and you’ll get not just one, but two amazing and flexible layout options.

In this new tutorial, I take on a viewer challenge with some very specific requirements and demonstrate how to:
Set up a huge 100 cm x 100 cm canvas
Add 100 images using Data Merge to avoid manual layout fatigue
Embed or link images to suit your needs
Create a professional structured grid layout
Design a dynamic contact sheet with custom rotation and scale for each image block

From a structured, professional contact sheet to something more creative and dynamic, this tutorial will give you all the details you need to get started.
