Abstract

Methods, systems and machine-readable instructions for managing images are described. In one aspect, images are segmented into image clusters. A page layout for a contact sheet comprising thumbnail clusters each comprising thumbnails of the images in respective ones of the image clusters is generated. The page layout divides at least a portion of the contact sheet into regions each containing a respective one of the thumbnail clusters and at least one associated user input field. A description of the page layout is stored on a machine-readable medium.
