PHOTOS: How do i take a screenshot of an entire PHOTO album?

I'd like to take a screenshot of an entire album (330 photos) but when I reduce the size down on the screen, not all of the photos are actually showing. Dependent on how much I reduce the size of the photos, 5-15 photos drop off and aren't included. Is there anyway to get them ALL on the screen? I'm not sure I'm explaining it well, but I hope someone has an answer for me. Photo attached showing the file with 5 missing. TIAI

It would be a lot more work but you could create a collage of the photos. I did it with Pages by creating a 20" x 30" paper size and adding photos to it, resizing them and placing them where I wanted them. Mine were somewhat scattered, i.e. at angles, overlapping other photos, etc.,

but with yours they could be in rows all the same size. If needed you could create a paper size even larger. I then converted the Pages document to a PDF via export and had a poster printed tip.

OR you could create a slideshow of the photos in Photos and share them that way a 6 minute slideshow.

That might work but it's a 365 day project so I do need every image that's in the file. It's kind of the point of the whole think, you know? I'm trying to get the answer to this by 12-31 so I can create a 1 year of photos image. Thanks for the suggestion.

Good thought, butnope, it doesn't matter how many photos you have, when you zoom all the way out it makes all the rows with the same amount of photos. I've tried this too. :( Thanks for the thought.
