Possibly. How many files did you have? I've been experimenting with this and it seems like a good limit is about 40 images, which can produce two composites of images tiled 4x5 @ 200 pixels, which is what I like. I have some scripts I've been using to facilitate this if you're interested. One will take the images in a directory and put them in subdirectories containing exactly 20 images. Another will run the montage command on each of those subdirectories. I made it so that the montage rotates images that are taller than they are wide. It makes the resulting composite "prettier," though sometimes I have to turn my head sideways. When I run montage, I do: montage -geometry 200+2+5 -background white -label %f -tile 4x5 image1.jpg image2.jpg [or, *.jpg] index.jpg That puts a 2 pixel border on the x and 5 pixel border on the y, and prints the filename under each picture, 4 pictures across and 5 down, and names the composite index.jpg.
