The photo managing software ACDSee and ACDSee Pro allow you to combine multiple images into a single contact sheet containing multiple thumbnails or a few larger images. The size of the included images depends on how many can evenly fit on the page. To make creating this contact sheet easier ACDSee includes an "Image Basket," which houses shortcuts to selected images. This feature allows you to select images spanning multiple folders.
