Creating specific image sizes on contact sheets

I need to be able to create specific images size on contact sheets 1.75"x 2.25" on 24"w x ??"L paper. Anyone know how to do this?

A script like my Paste Image roll. Paste Image Roll Script and Picture Package Support
http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PasteImageRoll.jsx
From my Photo Collage Toolkit
Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this A video showing a 5 image collage PSD template being populates with images:
The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
Size the photo collage templates for the print size you want - width, height and print DPI resolution.
Photo collage templates must have a Photoshop background layer. The contents of this layer can be anything.
Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Image 1", "Image 2", ... "Image n".
Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to let the images that will be placed below them show through.
There are twelve scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.
PCTpreferences.jsx - Edit This File to Customize Collage Populating scripts default setting and add your own Layer styles.

Creating multiple images to a contact sheet?

Good morning.
I'm wanting to create an 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of individual snapshots of scrapbook pages created in PSE6 - as do photographers with photoshoots. I'd like the snapshots to be larger than thumbnail size in order to more easily view details of each individual page that will be published in book format.
Please advise the steps to take to do this task, if possible. I'm using PSE6 and Windows Vista Business OS.
Thank you.

shinlee,
There are several ways to do this. The least difficult is to go to File>print, and in the dialog select "type of print", select picture package, and there are various options in the drop down. Your version of PSE may have it arranged in a slightly different way, but it is there.
I copied down a tutorial that is used by the scrapbooking folks. It is more labor intensive, but once set up, yields a great result. In essence, you create your own templates, and populate them.
Open a new, blank file (File>new>blank file) and set width & height in the inch size of your paper stock (8.5x11"), resolution 300px/in, background white (can be any color)
Access the rectangular marquee tool, and in the the tool's option bar select "Fixed size", and put in 3.75x2.75", for example. Turn on the grid and snap to grid via View>grid & snap to grid. You can configure the grid via Edit>preferences>Guides and grids if you want to.
Duplicate the background layer, and create the first box by clicking with the rectangular marquee tool. Position the box, then fill it with 50% gray (Edit>fill selection, and under contents select 50% gray.) Select>deselect gets rid of the marching ants
Repeat for the next box. You should now have a document containing two rectangular boxes filled with 50% gray.
Select the first box that you wish to fill (with the picture) with the magic wand tool. On the tool's option bar be sure that contiguous is checked. You should see "marching ants" around the selection, indicating that it is active.
Open picture 1, go to Select>all, Edit>copy, then go to your layout as completed in step #5, and Edit>paste into selection
Your image will be larger that the rectangular box, but you can drag it around to position the person that you wish to display. CTRL+T will allow you to resize the image with the corner handles, and to maneuver it
Repeat for picture 2 with the 2nd box.
In step #4 you can set up the number and size of the boxes best suited to your purpose

How to rearrange images in a contact sheet?

How do I rearrange images in a contact sheet? I am trying to drag them to the square I want but nothing happens.

No, I don't think it's possible - unless you create an image in a pixel editor (Photoshop) that is completely white, create some Virtual Copies of it in Lr, and intersperse the white images between the "real" ones.

Printing different & Specific image sizes on a 17x22 contact sheet. pls...

Good day.
I'd like to print some specific sizes on one sheet of 17x22 paper (3800) as not to waste paper. So I'd like to print a 8x10, several 3.5 x 5 etc on one sheet if possible but cant figure it out.
Oh, These would be different images on the same print.
can anyone please guide me?
Thank you.
tom

In Photoshop, use File > Automate > Picture Package
Consult the Help files.
If none of the existing (preset) templates suits you, you can edit or create a new one in any text editor.
If you have InDesign, it can easily be done there, of course.

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

Image sequence for contact sheets in Bridge CS4

I have been used to Contact Sheet in Photoshop but am now trying the Output option in Bridge. How can I change the order the photos appear on the sheet? Most are landscape format but a few are portrait and I would like to have the portrait format images all together and I don't see a way to effect what photos go where on the sheet. Is there a way? I also could only see the first of the two contact sheets. I'm sure there is an obvious way to review all but I haven't discovered how.
Thanks.

The preview in Bridge is limited to conserve resources. To see the whole thing, save the file and look at it.
You can always quickly redo it if you want to make changes.
Drag the thumbnails in the content pane to change the order.

Recommended Image Size for Contact Pictures?

Hi All,
I want to edit up some family members to attach thier images to my iPhone contacts... Does anyone know what the preferred resolution size is for the iPhone for optimal appearance?
I've tried to do this with outlook before, and I hate the way it dithers the images to a low quality.... I'm hoping that the iPhone doesn't do this and so I wanted to experiment with how they would appear...
But instead of making the images just any random size, I wanted to crop them to the preferred image/pixel size so that my photoshopped images look like what I expect them to show up like...
If you could advise with the documented or known pixel resolution size used by the iPhone it would be appreciated!

Thanks, but I don't believe that the contacts come up full screen do they?
Usually there is a optimal image size for certain things like contact photos and I am just trying to help ensure that all my photos are the same size and don't vary...
I might be a little carried away with how I am formatting them, but just hoping someone already knows this answer!

Printing one image on a contact sheet with different gamma settings

Hi,
I am currently using Aperture 1.1, and I would like to print out a contact sheet of one image (each with a different gamma setting) to my Epson R800 printer. Any idea on how to do this? Also, I seem to be somewhat limited in my printing options, is it possible to print out say two or three images on one sheet?

Not without actually duplicating the intended images for the print.

Sizing images in Lightroom contact sheet?

I seem to get columns, not size choices. If I make two or three columns the image size stays the same. I am trying to get the individual images bigger. Can I do this?
Thanks

In Layout: Page Grid you need to reduce the number of columns and rows.

Export plugin - forcing specific image size

Hi - I'm trying to change the sample FTP upload plugin so that it does not give the user the option of setting an image size but instead forces a maximum height and maximum width of 675 pixels. I've figured out how to hide the 'image settings' option in the export dialog but have gotten nowhere with trying to enforce the image size.
I have added this into FtpUploadServiceProvider.lua but it doesn't work:
    updateExportSettings = function( exportSettings )
    exportSettings.LR_size_maxHeight = 675
    exportSettings.LR_size_maxWidth = 675
    end,
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I found that I had to schedule a new export session in order to have new export parameters take effect - or I least thats what I did and it worked. I have a web plugin that schedules a separate export for each size: thumbnail, + bigger, ... Dunno if there's a better way.

How to print specific image size?

Hi Gang - how do I print a 11x15" image onto 13x19" photo paper? At first it seems easy, but things aren't making sense. Here's what I did:
I exported the photo and used the LR image resize dialog area to 11x15" - easy.
I imported the exported image (assuming the image was 11x15") and then went to the LR print area - this is where the confusion begins.
The print tab shows the image dimensions as 8 x10.19 in. Help, how do I make it the 11x15" I need it to be?
I understand that I'll need to adjust the image to get the portion I want into the 11x15 space, but for now, I can't even get the size to 11x15".
I tried custom package options, but no luck there.
I do have Canon's Print Studio Pro plug-in which works great. Except, once again, I don't know how to instruct it to print the image dimension 11x15" on the 13x19" paper.
Fiddling with settings, I printed a dozen attempts, and still no luck achieving 11x15" image size on the 13x19" paper. For now, I'm OK with the image getting cut off or other skew - baby steps - I need to learn how to make the image print 11x15" image size.A
Thanks for offering suggestions.
Screen shot shows my 11x15" image is 8x10.19; I don;t know how to make it 11x15".

Brain: generally intuitive, but need help on this question!

The first step in the Lightroom Print module is to click the Page Setup button, select your printer, and then select the paper size. From your screen shot it looks like the correct paper size hasn't been selected yet, because you said you wanted to print on 13 x 19 inch paper, but the paper on screen is only 8.5 inches wide. My guess is that Page Setup is still set for US Letter size paper, and that you should go back to Page Setup and change it. After you do that, if your Layout Style is set to Single Image you should be able to set the Cell Size to 11 x 15 inches.

Creating pdf contact sheets at screen resolution using aperture/photoshop

Can anyone advise me on how to create a pdf document of contact sheets- low resolution [72 screen res]that is less time consuming than the present work flow described below?
At present I export jpegs 450pxl 72dpi from aperture. create contact sheets in photoshop and then
create a pdf in photoshop. Average number of images per client is approx 800-1000,
The pdf I have created with aperture has a resolutuin of 300dpi- which is a large file to email etc. I have tried reimporting the 450pxl jpegs but aperture still creates the document at 300dpi.
Is it possible ...
1/. to solely use aperture to create low res pdf's
2/. If not is it possible to create an action in photoshop [or use automator] to speed up the process described above?
I do have a little experience using actions in photoshop but am by no means an experienced user.

Awesome! I didnt even know aperture could do that
Now another quick question on this topic, if im using RAW files, does aperture need to convert the file to jpeg or tiff (like it does if you export version as jpeg)?
If it does, that may be a problem as it takes forever for aperture on my macbook to convert raws and save as jpegs, like a good minute or two per photo, and if i have 200odd photos....not good, people will crack it waiting and leave.
Or does it print as raw? Cause im pretty sure my printer (or any printer) can not print raw files. Will try it tonight on my printer but a heads up will be useful.
I could just shoot in hi-res jpeg, but id rather shoot raw incase they want a large poster size print etc.
Thanks.

How can I create a contact sheet?

I've got 32 PSD files of a customers paintings that we use to make greeting cards. She just turned 100 last week and her daughter in law came in to pick some up and asked if we could make a sheet with small versions of the paintings on them with the file names so that she can remember them. She thought we only had 5. I told her we have more like 30. So the old lady doesn't know what we do and don't have here.
Since they are Photoshop files, I can't just toss em into iPhoto to create a contact sheet. I guess I could do a batch convert to JPG on all of them and then drop those into iPhoto but is there a way to do this within Photoshop? just open up all 32 PSD files and create some sort of a contact sheet with file names under each image? Maybe 6 to a page?

Hi,
You can either use Bridge and the Output workspace, or grab optional plug-ins for CS5 and run Ps on OSX in the 32 bit mode. (Or grab the excellent 3rd party script, Contact Sheet X, and run that in Ps. http://ps-scripts.sourceforge.net/ContactSheetX/csx.html).

Contact sheets - show version number or name in emailed images

My goal is to email contact sheets of an assignment to clients. I think I have worked this out by using the contact sheet facility in the print menu then saving as a PDF. If there is a better way I'd love to know. What I need now is to have the version number or caption name attached to each image so the client can identify an image. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

This works Kirby, thank you. The challenge now is getting a a large number of images onto a "contact sheet" that still look good but don't create a massive file that might overwhelm a client's computer. If I use the 72 res the photos are crappy. The 150 dpi gives reasonable quality but 6 images create a 10 MB file. There must be a way to get reasonable quality images into a reasonably sized file for emailing. Any thoughts?
