I know this can also be done from the command line with ImageMagick's "montage" tool. I'll look into it and report back. I used Photoshop.

Thanks, Murn. All I need now are some decent shots to tichify. This may take some time....

murn  Pro User  says:

Probably the easiest method in Photoshop is to put the images you want to tichify together into one folder (or have those files, and only those files, open on your desktop), then go under File > Automate > Contact Sheet II. You input the ultimate tych size, indicate how many rows and columns, and click OK. Then you can choose background color. If you want a stroke around each image, add the stroke before making the contact sheet.

Now get shooting! :-)

OK, I did this with ImageMagick's "montage" tool. The software is available for Linux, Windows, and Macintosh. The software is also free.

thanks, murn. all this time I was eyeballing the alignments and all. btw, what's a "stroke"?

murn  Pro User  says:

In Photoshop, the Stroke command makes a border around the image. The third image in my street-tych has a stroke around it.

Edit > Stroke

I also set a transparency to the stroke.

After making a Contact Sheet in Photoshop, you can flatten the layers and adjust the space between images (if you choose to have space). I think it's best when the space between images look consistent.

(I'm very pleased to have the chance to teach syz something new and helpful, after all the help he's given me and others.)

Does this count? Rather than having seperate frames for each shot, I combined them into the same frame.

you took a _chance_ with this... and I think it paid off! a wonderful contribution to this thread. care to remark about your compositing technique? we're all "ears"...

btw, everyone, we're relaxing the small-size standard for uploads in this thread given the nature of this SR topic.

To their credit, they really don't look like Diane Arbus subjects... ;)

*Your Guide  Pro User  says:

True, and that's because they appear to be middle class subjects, but in the context of today perhaps they do, since they affect a pretention at style, especially with the gold cane and the gold-giraffe jacket details juxtaposed with the golden handrails...

I agree about the arrangement comment on these, Gary, and thanks for noticing the design work within mine.

I especially like the wall shots with the people fitting in so well.

This is the start of a documentary project I've begun about Willets Point, the most woe-begone industrial-zoned section and perhaps oldest and foulest "brownfield" in the entire City of New York. It's a 13-block triangle that abuts Shea Stadium and the Flushing River and will be slated for park and commercial redevelopment.
