Photo Montage Creator

[TradeGraphicDesign]

Hi everyone,

I'm doing loads of photo montages at the moment, super time consuming.
I have a feeling I've seen a plugin, but imagine I was proably dreaming.

I was hoping a script or plugin might exist for illustrator or indesign, that could do the following.

1. I choose a bunch of photos (say 20)
2. and the software arranges them in a grid within any given canvas size

That sounds so simple, seems like it could be automated somewhat

Here's hoping

Thanks a million in advance

Besides using contact sheets in photoshop, you can also do the same in Indesign. I think Indesign gives you more control for this as you can add text under each image as well as more layout possibilities
