How to Make a Digital Contact Sheet for Family Review

By ImgHeal · Updated

Present many viewing copies with identifiers that make corrections easy to return.

Choose review copies

Use consistently sized thumbnails from the source or accepted edit set. Do not substitute the sheet for full-resolution files. Decide whether reviewers need untouched sources, restored candidates, or paired versions, and label that choice clearly.

Place identifiers beside images

Use stable file identifiers and short captions that remain readable at the sheet's intended size. Avoid relying on visual order alone. If comparing variants, put each source and candidate next to each other under a shared base identifier.

Collect actionable feedback

Ask reviewers to cite the identifier and describe the correction, such as an uncertain name or changed expression. Provide larger individual images when small faces are hard to judge. Save the sheet and its version date with the collected notes.

Check before you finish

  • Use readable stable identifiers.
  • Provide larger files for identity review.
