Hello there.

I need help with Photoshop's Contact Sheet function.

I have a folder with 400+ DVD Covers (of the same size) in JPG format. I need to create 4 different mosaic-like files (contact sheets) with approximately 100 covers each, in order to import them into AE and use them as "walls" / backgrounds in a 3D environment, with a camera flying by them.

I'm thinking of contact sheets in Photoshop because doing so manually would take me f-o-r-e-v-e-r. Question is: I can't find a good way to remove the white space in between photos (to note, my version of photoshop is positively ancient, 7.0). As an alternate, I could use Fireworks or iPhoto, but I have yet to find the right dimensions that would eliminate the blank space in between photos (found tutorials for photos with horizontal orientation but not vertical). Any suggestions?

Thanks
 
I'm not sure what functions you have in your version but if you have a single layer with all of the photos and the white space. Use the magic wand selection tool and click on the white space. It will select all the white space then just press the delete key
