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.

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.

How to set images to your contacts to see their picture when there calling? Like their facebook picture.

How to set images to your contacts to see thier picture when someone is calling? Like for instance facebook picture.(on the iPHONE 4s)

You can manually add a photo to each contact on your iPhone - from an existing photo of the contact on your iPhone or capture a photo of the contact when together. Or add a photo for each contact in the address book app on your computer that is supported for syncing contacts with the iPhone followed by a sync.
For FaceBook check this link, which I found with a Google search.

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.

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.

How to remove "Version Name" from contact sheets

When printing contact sheets, how do you remove the words"Version Name" from under each photo.
I just want my image numbers to be there such as JJC_3795. As it appears now is reads, Version Name:
JJC_3795. I went to Presets then to File Names hoping this would fix it, but can't figure out how to make that change. Maybe it's not possible???
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think it is possible. What I have done is print to PDF and then (in Acrobat Pro) covered the "version name" part with a blank text field, white background, and done the physical printing from Acrobat.

How can I create a PDF contact sheet of photos in finder

I'm trying to create an automator workflow/action (or service) that will allow me to select a set of photos in the finder and then create a PDF contact sheet that will include the Photo filename. I know that I can select photos and open in preview, but these do not include the filename with the photo in the saved PDF.
I'm a newbie with Automator, but i gave it a try myself.
In the Automator PDF Library, there is an action called "New PDF contact sheet", however I can't seem to be able to get it to work. I dragged that action to the workflow and then added "Get Selected Finder Items" before that.
It appears to run it--an "application"/window appears titled "MakePDF" and it appears to run through the selected photos. However, at the end (after it asks for the file name to save it with), it says that "The action “New PDF Contact Sheet” encountered an error--check the actions properties and try running the workflow again".
What am I leaving out of the workflow?

There is a bug in the *New PDF Contact Sheet* action in that it is looking for the Leopard version of a file that moved and changed in Snow Leopard.
Snow Leopard has a newer version of a support application MakePDF.app in the */System/Library/Image Capture/Automatic Tasks* folder, but as mentioned the *New PDF Contact Sheet* action seems to still require the older version of the application, which in Leopard is located in the */System/Library/Image Capture/Tools* folder. If you have access to a Leopard installation, you can copy the MakePDF.app from Leopard and place it into the same location in Snow Leopard (/System/Library/Image Capture/Tools) - this will get the action working again.

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

How to fix black sidebar and contact sheet in Preview?

How can I fix a bug or setting in the Preview app that is making the sidebar or contact sheet solid black. Whenever I try to view thumbnails in the side bar, it is just a black column with no previews. If I choose contact sheet, the same thing happens in the main window.

Can't figure out how to do that by using the mouse only other than clicking one of the view mode boxes in the toolbar -
In Preview's Preferences, you can set PDF's to always open with the sidebar active.

How can I save a PDF contact sheet? (for Windows)

I've searched everywhere but it seems that it's only possible to save a PDF contact sheet on a Mac through the print prompt.. is it not possible to do this somehow in the Windows version?

I don't know Mac, but on Windows, you have to own a PDF writer (usually a printer driver) which produces PDFs instead of hardcopy prints from any application. There is lots of freeware and buyable products around. The same applies to LR.

How on Earth do you Print Contact Sheet in Landscape Orientation in the new iPhoto?

Just upgraded to Maverick and new iPhoto and boy am I sorry. In the last version of of iPhoto it was really difficult to print 4 to a page contact sheets from iPhoto in landscape mode. Why would you want to print in any othe mode when most photos are taken in landscape?
Pleae help as I have to print these photos ASAP for a client.

First set the page size to letter- borderless. Next after selecting the Contact theme click on the Print Settings button and reset the page size to 11 wide and 8.5 high.
Finally set the columns to 2 which will give you this:
To test it without having to print each time use the PDF ➙ Save as PDF menu option. If all looks good you can print from the PDF file.
There's no provision for adding a title at the top of the page. However, create a TextEdit, Word, Pages, etc., document, put the title at the top and print over the printed contact sheet.

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

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.

Contact sheet only shows single image; need multiple duplicates

I'm trying to print an image using the "Contact Sheet" setting. I need to output a page containing multiple instances of one single image. When I select the image and select "Contact Sheet," it shrinks the single image down and sticks it in the top-left box of what should be a page full of that single image ... but it's only creating a single instance of the image, and the rest of the blocks on the contact sheet are blank.
I'm ready to put my fist through the monitor. Please help before it's too late. Thanks.

In the customize window when you click the settings icon ther is a pull down menu in teh resulting screen that lets you select multiple photos pre page and multiples of a photo{quote}
Oh, how I do so wish that were the case, but when I click "Customize" and then get to the subsequent screen containing the "Settings" button, and then click said "Settings" button, I get, as previously stated, nothing but a dropdown that allows me to changes settings only for the text that one can select to accompany one's image, as shown in the screen capture found here:
