I am trying to find out how to make a sheet with, say 5×6 rows of the same photo, in a certain size, like for school photos of kids, they can trade.. Are there really no easier way to do this than making a copy several times of the same photo (giving it a different name everytime for it not to just replace itself), and then making the contact sheet thereafter? In other wods, I am looking for a choice giving the opportunity to "make a contact sheet of the selected photo"…?

ah yes..and no. I see that is one way. However, this is a quite small photo, and in the picture package, the max. number of pictures on one page is 20..and if You choose 20, the size is adjusted to fill out the paper, therefore the photos individually becomes too large.
What I need now is a way to make the photos stay the correct (physical) size for the printout…somehow..?

Had this problem myself…

Used a brute force method to make a home grown ‘photo package’ as follows. Open the target image.
Create a new empty layer; name = grid
Rename the original image layer to 1
From the Menu – Layer/Duplicate, Name = 2
Repeat, Layer/Duplicate, increasing the Name each time.
When done you will have a grid layer and lots of image layers. Increase the canvas size to match the maximum print area of your paper/printer.
I used 7-1/2" x 10"; this gave me reasonable borders on a 8-1/2" x 11" sheet.
Place guides on the canvas in a grid pattern to align the images. View/Snap To/Guides = checkmark
Pick the Move Tool; Auto Select Layer = checkmark
Move each of the layers into position on the grid.
this is where the layer numbering helps.
File/Save As….."contact sheet one etc"

Delete all numbered layers then copy next image onto canvas and repeat with next image.

I automated some of the steps, your mileage may vary…
