Load the broad reference set
Bring in the research pool before final mood board selection. Files remain in the browser.
Choose a comparison density
Use more columns for quick scanning and fewer columns when small details or text need close review.
Annotate the evidence
Write what each image contributes, note its source, and assign keep, question, or remove.
Promote only the strongest references
Move selected images to the final board and preserve the contact sheet as a decision record.
Image count, numbering, and sourcing
How many images should a contact sheet hold?
Use a set large enough to compare but small enough that captions remain readable. Split large research pools by theme.
Why number every image?
Numbers make feedback precise and avoid confusion when several references look similar.
Can this replace a source log?
No. A short source reminder helps review, but detailed rights and permission facts belong in the source tracker.
What should a useful evidence note say?
State what the image contributes to the decision, such as light, scale, material, behavior, composition, or an exclusion. Avoid notes that only repeat what is visible.

Turn a broad image pool into a reviewable edit
A contact sheet turns a large image set into a numbered review surface. Captions, evidence notes, source reminders, and status labels make selection faster and preserve why an image was kept, questioned, or removed. Split unrelated themes into separate sheets, keep the original files unchanged, and carry only the strongest non-duplicate evidence into the final board.
