Contact Sheets/Sort - group horizontal shots together and vertical shots together

I've never liked having a mix of horizontal and vertical shots when I print contact sheets. It just doesn't look very clean. I'd love to see a new feature whereby you can sort your photos based on orientation so that they're arranged more neatly when contact sheets are produced.

DISREGARD!!! Duh. I see now that Aspect Ratio does that...somehow never noticed that before...

  • Sorting grouped values by month and year within chart

    Hello
    I have a really tough problem which I can't seam to figure out.
    I have a table called SOLAR_RETURN which has 4 columns:
    - ID
    - USER_ID
    - DATUM
    - RETURN
    On a page I have 3 links, one for showing the information from the database by day, month or year.
    The hidden field :P25_DATE_FILTER is being set through the URL when clicking one of the 3 links.
    I have a linechart with the following sql statement which pulls the correct data according to the value of :P25_DATE_FORMAT:
    select null link, to_char("SOLAR_RETURN"."DATUM", :P25_DATE_FILTER) as label, max("SOLAR_RETURN"."RETURN") as value from "SOLAR_RETURN"
    WHERE "SOLAR_RETURN"."USER_ID" = :USER_ID
    AND to_char(DATUM, :P25_DATE_FILTER) = decode(:P25_DATE_FILTER,'YYYY',to_char(DATUM, 'YYYY'),'MM-YYYY',to_char(DATUM, 'MM-YYYY'),'DD-MM-YYYY',to_char(DATUM, 'DD-MM-YYYY'))
    GROUP BY to_char(DATUM, :P25_DATE_FILTER)
    Everything is working great, only the sorting is messed up. I need to sort it so that when :P25_DATE_FORMAT is set to DD-MM-YYYY it will be sorted by year desc, month desc, day desc. If the value would be MM-YYYY it would need to sort by year desc, month desc.
    I have tried the following without succes:
    ORDER BY to_char(DATUM, :P25_DATE_FILTER) ASC
    --> This doesnt cut it since it sorts like this: (for example)
    01-2010
    02-2010
    11-2009
    12-2009
    Vice versa for DESC
    Is there any way that I can sort the grouped values by day, month and year seperately?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    What is data type for column DATUM ?
    If it is date did you try ORDER BY DATUM DESC ?

  • Display issue - horizontal white lines and vertical multicoloured lines.... UNRELATED: constant "update available" icon?

    Hi, my Curve 9300 on the OS 6.0 system has vertical and horizontal lines accross the display, with more appearing every day...   started and the top and left areas of the screen and seem to be slowly migrating & multiplying.
    I tried first turning the phone off and back on again.  Then the battery pull reset.  Now I've tried downloading the OS update direct from the blackberry site and reloading it....   all to no avail.
    Everything is functional, but lines accross the screen are constant.  Since my phone is past warranty anyway, I would like to open it and check the screen connection, but I do not have a torx driver that small to fit the little screw in the back....  Is there anything else I can try, or an easy enough way to remove that screw without having to buy a stupid screwdriver that I will likely never use again...?
    One other thing I've been meaning to find out about...   Despite attempting to update multiple times through the Blackberry Desktop Software, and even now after downloading the update direct from the Blackberry site, my phone continues to display the "update available" icon (with the star in a red circle on a BB outline), and indicates an update required for BB OS 6, yet the desktop software says "no updates available" and I couldn't find anything more recent on the Blackberry site unless there is a way to put OS 7 on the older blackberries.  Why might this be happening and have I missed something?
    Thank you!

    In terms of heat I'm not sure.
    It isn't only one spot that you can push to get it to come back. I have to manipulate the screen carefully in a number of different combinations. Also if the screen brightness is down the and screen fully open with an external monitor on the screen can sometimes clear up even after 4 hours plus of use. If I then move the screen up it will take a few minutes to go bad again. Even if the brightness is left down.
    I actually have a spare screen from an old 400mhz model which is identical brand. Its just not in as good condition and has to bright spots in the corners and one dull area middle bottom. Its just not in as good nic as the current one when its working. Is there a way to 'tighten' the LCD in case its a pressure problem or is still a heat issue?
    Many Thanks, Tre.

  • Customized contact sheets from manual sorted iPhoto 7.0.2 albums.

    I manually sorted photos in my iPhoto '08 album and want to print contact sheets showing the photos in this sorted order. Everything is working fine choosing the preselected contact sheet with 3 rows and 4 lines i. e. 12 pictures on each page. But when trying to customize the preselected contact sheet (for I want 4 rows and 5 lines) the manual sorting is gone and instead the pictures are sorted otherwise (by name I guess). Does anyone has any idea to solve the problem?
    (I use Tiger 10.4.10, Mac Pro QuadCore, iPhoto 7.0.2)

    Gunther:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you tried dragging the photos in the contact sheet customize window to arrange them as you want? It works that way for me.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Sorting Photos for Contact sheets

    Hello all,
    My family just wants a basic photo archive using a contact sheet style. I can create a contact sheet style in the print options. That part is fine but the problem I'm having is that when I try to print the photos as a contact sheet, all the photo gets all unsorted even though the photos are all sorted by name in the iPhoto albums or events.  How do i correct this so that when print the albums as a contact sheet the photo will stay sorted by name.
    Thanks
    p.s. I couldn't get this to work in iPhoto '09 and I have recently upgraded to iphoto '11 and the same problem still exists.

    Contact sheets are only sorted by date.  So if you need to print a contact sheet sorted by name put the photos in an album and sort by name.  Then select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option.  Use any date and add a couple of seconds between each photo.  Don't modify the original file.
    Now when you go to print the contact sheet it will be sorted by date with will be the same as your sort by title.

  • Indesign Contact Sheet script for Adobe Bridge 1.0.4.6

    Our company currently has all the Adobe CS2 products but as stand alone applications and not part of the Creative Suite. Therefore, we don't seem to have all the functionality of the suite.
    In particular the script to create Contact Sheets from Indesign CS2 of items through the script in Adobe Bridge.
    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to add the functionality of the contact sheet script for Indesign to Bridge without having the Adobe Creative Suite? And Why?
    We are looking for something to replace an extension used by Quark to create contact sheets from Badia software. I am loath to upgrade this extension unless absolutely necessary. We receave thousands of photo's a week and output contact sheets for our editors to pick and choose which photos they want/like.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Applescript create contact sheet Error

    Hi all,
    I'm using Applescript to filter my images and create a contact sheet from those filtered images. Now I'm stuck at creating the contact sheet. The error I get is:
    error "Can’t get list of {alias \"Macintosh HD:Users:stopar:Desktop:sorted:OA0001-1.jpg\", alias \"Macintosh HD:Users:stopar:Desktop:sorted:OA0002-1.jpg\"....
    My script looks like this:
    tell application "Finder"
    set sourceFolder to choose folder  -- temporary testing by selecting a folder. File filter script will be placed here
    set filesList to (files of entire contents of sourceFolder) as alias list
    end tell
    tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS4"
    activate
    create contact sheet from files list of filesList
    end tell

    It looks at first glance that you are asking for a list twice… This worked for me… Just tested with a bunch of TIFFs. Put a basic filter in there too.
    tell application "Finder"
    set sourceFolder to choose folder
    set filesList to (files of entire contents of sourceFolder whose file type is "TIFF") as alias list
    end tell
    tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
    activate
    create contact sheet from files filesList
    end tell
    and as if by magik Im back to the other me… again…

  • Putting Text with Contact Sheet in CS4

    Hello,
    I have read numerous posts, I have seen an online tutorial, in terms of how the Contact Sheet feature was moved in CS 4.....I did manage to find it, however, I do find myself with a question...
    I am submitting images to a magazine Photo Editor, and they require a contact sheet to be submitted along with the images. On the contact sheet they want the FILE NAME, and also the Species Name (I am shooting wildlife), and also a quick mention of the geographic area in the US where it was shot.....
    As I said, I found the Contact Sheet part in CS4, and I see where I can list an overall Header or Footer on the overall Contact sheet page, but I do not
    see anywhere (I apologize ahead of time if I am overlooking this in some obvious place), I do not see anywhere, where, I can go to the individual images, and, in addition to the File names, put the kind of text information that I just mentioned above.
    Way back in CS3, the Contact sheet function actually generated a Layered PS File, with the images and the text for the images, as separate layers, and you could actually go in and type custom text into the Text portion below the image, but that does not seem to be the case at all in CS4.
    Surely this is doable somehow for me to add custom text to the images on my Contact sheet, beyond merely the file names? If not in Photoshop, is anyone aware of any 3rd party Contact Sheet software that will allow me to do this? This is a national publication that puts out about 40 magazines, so I cannot be the first to run into this problem.
    Any help you can give me ( in terms of a detailed explanation of how to do this) would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks to all, and have a great day!

  • I have several issues that I hope you can help me out with. I am a professional photographer with a Mac with OS X 10.9.4: - I can only make ONE contact sheet in CS6 (from AUTOMATE) from pictures indicated in Bridge. If I want to make another contact sheet

    I have several issues that I hope you can help me out with. I am a professional photographer with a Mac with OS X 10.9.4:
    - I can only make ONE contact sheet in CS6 (from AUTOMATE) from pictures indicated in Bridge. If I want to make another contact sheet I need to shut down and restart CS6.
    - Camera RAW: if I change any setting in Camera RAW (except exposure), having first optimized the exposure, the exposure will automatically return to zero. Sometimes when I've set exposure and cropped the picture in Camera RAW Plug-In, the effects are lost just by opening the picture in CS6.
    - Sometimes if I crop a picture in Camera RAW, it may be impossible to open it again from Bridge!
    - I cannot do lens corrections in Camera RAW, at all. The Camera RAW comment is that "it cannot load the correct lens type". Why?

    Are you writing that when you select  a large number of images in the bridge  like a hundred thumbnails  when you then use Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Contact Sheet II that Photoshop only produces a single contact sheet for the first few thumbnails and fails to produce additional contact sheets for the other selected thumbnails? Photoshop contact sheet II script should create as many contact sheet as needed  for the numbers of thumbnails selected.  Perhaps the script is hung or you have exhausted  your machine resources.
    ACR Crop tool does not crop the RAW file it records crop settings to be used during the conversion process.    Camera RAW DATA is not altered.  The only changes made to RAW Files is ACR Metadata may be added.  Anything you do in ACR can be un-done in ACR.    If you can not open a RAW File in ACR the Files is either corrupt or from a new camera ACR does not support yet.  ACR should not corrupt RAW files.
    If you do not have a lens profile for ACR I think you should still be able to do lens correction manually in ACR.
    Some of what you write I don't follow could you post some screen captures of your problems often a picture helps.

  • Script for mulipage contact sheet?

    Don't know if this belongs here or in Photoshop forum since it invloves a Photoshop feature called by Bridge -- but since Bridge is where I typically use it...
    Currently I'm creating contact sheets from folders selected within Bridge (or thumbnails selected in Bridge) and the only way I can quickly get them into a mulitpage contact sheet/catalog format is to then use the PDF Presentation Multipage-Document feature with the add-open-pages selection. Then I can save it as a catalog and delete the Photoshop contact sheet pages. Works well enough but it is awkward to have to first select the open contact sheet files for the PDF Presentation and then close them all and delete them. Also, in the PDF Presentation options I have to deselect all the other files in the folder one by one if the contact sheet was selected from files (or just deselect the folder if I went that route). Often pretty simple but with large numbers of files (and thus a large number of Contact Sheet pages) it gets more complicated. Seems like a really good opportunity for a script (or action or plugin). Does anyone know if such a critter is available? Many file browsers have multipage contact sheet/catalog options but none of them are as well integrated with PS and ACR as Bridge so I've stopped using them. I sure miss those catalog files though.
    Couldn't find anything in Studio Exchange under either Photoshop or Bridge (actions, plugins, or scripts) but that doesn't mean much since there is so much there I usually miss just what I need!
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Works for me!

  • Image rotation in contact sheet

    Hi
    I've just come accross a problem when creating a contact sheet with images that were organised and rotated using Bridge.
    When creating contact sheets I like to have the thumbnails rotated the correct way up. So I deselect 'rotate for best fit' but after the process is finished I realise that the sheet has been created with the thumbnails in landscape view regardless of the images that are portrait.
    I've also tried selecting the 'rotate for best fit' but the same thing happens.
    Can anyone help me?

    Based on your post, you're using the InDesign contact sheet.
    Bridge does not rotate the image. It sets a metadata flag. Photoshop recognizes this flag, InDesign CS3 does not (I haven't tried it in CS4 yet).
    I will be writing a new version of the contact sheet script over the next few weeks.
    The features I will be adding:
    Ability to save multiple dialog settings
    Improved dialogs
    Heed rotation metadata
    Bring back the ability to include subfolders
    Regards
    Bob

  • Contact sheet border

    how can i add a border to each image on the contact sheet?

    how can i add a border to each image on the contact sheet?
    You can't do so in either Output Module in Bridge or Contact sheet II script in Ps. Both are nice features but limited options.
    And what do you mean with border?
    If it is a stroke surrounding the image itself you can create an action in PS to add a stroke to the file and for instance also reduce file size, use a save as command (to keep your original untouched and keep the same file name) to a specific folder and use this folder to create your contact sheets. With the action saved (and tested) you can select the files in Bridge, choose menu Tools / photoshop / batch and search for the new action. Hit Ok and you only have to wait a few minutes while PS is doing the work for you.
    If you mean a stroke between the images I have no idea. If you have InDesign there is a third party contact sheet script that offers more options, but I don't know very much of this script.

  • Problem building contact sheets in bridge

    I am trying to build contact sheets with Bridge in CS5. The feature works great except if you have an odd number of images, the last of the images are built into the contact sheet at a much larger size and not kept proportional to the first images in the contact sheets ie: if you are building 8x11 contact sheets with 18 images and you want 8 images per sheet, the first two sheets are great and the last sheet with the final 2 images have the images at a much larger size relative to the first 16 images. Is there a way to have bridge maintain the correct image proportion on all contact sheets short of creating "dummy" images that divide by 8 for instance giving you an equal number?

    Here is a copy of my screen as I use it. Please note that I also changed my settings to the same as you show
    in your screenshot with no success. I am thinking there must be something maybe in my preferances that might
    need to be changed.

  • Contact sheets - order of images

    Running Windows XP, and Photoshop Elements 2.0 - I have a folder with about 125 pictures and would like to make a series of contact sheets. I want them in a particular order and have given them consecutive numbers in front of the titles to keep them in order in the folder. Problem is when creating the contact sheet it seems to select them and place them on the sheet in random order. Is there a way I can ensure the order remains the way I want it? Thanks for any help I can get!
    Joyce

    Joyce,
    Could you check one thing, please. I'm wondering if your numbering scheme may be causing a problem.
    By chance are you seeing a pattern of 1FN,10FN,11FN...2FN,20FN with FN being File Name. Sometimes when used in front of file names, a PC will read the values as chararcters instead of numbers.
    If the pattern is truly random 1FN,9FN,3FN then post back and we'll see how to fix this.
