Arranging pictures?
 

Hi

Is it possible to create the following images in Photoshop, Illustrator or other softwares, without doing it one at the time?
(Placing them manually in the correct position would be hard)

I know Photoshop has Actions, but that's not possible of doing this kind of operatation, is it?
I think that this can be done with some kind of programming, but I'm not sure if it's possible in Photoshop (I'm not a programmer either...).

Can somebody help with this topic?

So you want that layout of images and need a method to switch several images in and out of those frames?

If so, the only thing I can think of to do that is using a program like Adobe After Effects.

You can skew and transform images from your project folder onto your composition. Then take a still image from the composition (hell, you can animate it if you want if you have to time to.)
And you'd be able to replace the source image.

After Effects can arrange the images automatically for me?
I've tried using it, but whenever I press the 3d button, it gets out of position (X, Y and Z gets randomized). And I have to do this for each image.

I even have troubles making an image to be right in front of a camera while 3d mode is on :(

I just want to arrange a bunch of images to make wallpapers first. I'll consider animating the arranged images later (still learning After effects) :)

I've never done this before, but I was playing around with After Effects just now.

I just dragged an image down into composition, went to "Layer" at the top and selected "3D Layer."
That added some rotation controls in the Transform properties of your image.
And you'll have to use Y rotation for each image.

Is that what you were trying to do?
Also, you should set your composition big enough for wallpaper and use square pixels aspect ratio.

The method you just did now works, but isn't it mannually? :)
I must insert each image file and type in the exact position of them. And I think you must change the X and Z positions, not Y.

X is for left and right.
Z is for front and back (to give the depth).
