Let us divide the problem in several parts:

- creating the list of people with the 6 colums: I would use a text editor like Word. The result can be pasted later on the upper part of a canvas, the bottom will receive the drawing.

- Creating the 'silhouettes' (contours) for the persons in the group. I can't see a way to do that automatically. If you don't redraw manually, you can perhaps create a 'contour' effect from the various filters available in Elements.

- Adding the numbers... each number on its own text layer; possible to merge layers by smaller batches to avoid 200 layers.

I have done such group images (under 50 persons).

If you really have nearly 200 persons, that's really a big job!

Thank you for the advice.  I don't have that many, it was just an example I found online.  I will try using the filters.
