Photo order on contact sheets

Once I'm done editing photos I burn a copy of all my originals and their edited versions onto a DVD. I store the DVD with contact sheets showing its contents. The originals and edited versions are stacked in Lightroom, so before I make the contact sheet I expand all my stacks. Even though my photos are sorted by capture time in Lightroom, this sorting does not carry over onto my contact sheets. I can't figure out what order they are in on the contact sheet, and it makes it hard to look through hundreds of images to find one. Any suggestions?

Yes, the iTunes/Aperture integration seems a bit weak right now... I've been having some of the same issues, and have thus far given up on fixing them.
Note that is not exclusively an tv problem, rather it's an issue with the integration between iTunes and Aperture... I have the same issues syncing photos to my iPod and iPod nano as well.
Another important issue with Aperture and iTunes is that if you only choose selected albums to sync, and then go into Aperture and re-order those albums and/or create new ones, the selected items for synchronization will get completely messed up... I ended up replacing most of my expected photo content on my tv without realizing it as I was reorganizing my Aperture library and a completely different set of albums got selected for synchronization in iTunes.
There are definitely some bugs to be worked out there....

  • Labeling photos on a contact sheet

    I figured out how to label each photo on a contact sheet, but I can't seem to remove the Title to that label. For example, I just want the version name under each photo, but not the words :Version Name" before each. I thought I could eliminate the title by going to Presets/FileNaming, but unchecking the title box did not work.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for any help.

    It doesn't help your problem at all, but Aperture>Presets>File naming just changes the naming structure when renaming files/version within Aperture.
    I can't see a way to leave out the 'title' for each bit of metadata, even by going into the print presets preferences file.

  • How do I select more than one photo for a contact sheet

    I am trying to print more than one photo per contact sheet (to save photo paper!) Iphoto help says to select the photos you want on the contact sheet and also to select how many photos you want on the "options" button on the contact sheet style selection. I cannot find either option in Iphoto.
    Thanks in advance,

    Before you select "Print," hold down the shift key and click on each photo that you want on the contact sheet.
    Then select "Print" with Style "Contact Sheet." The resulting window allows you to select the quantity of contact sheets that you want to print.

  • Caption labels do not appear on correct photo in print contact sheet

    I have created a 6 photo contact sheet and wish to have the caption field appear as a label below each photo in the grid.  The 1st photo went ok,  2nd photo accepted caption but appeared on the incorrect photo when moved from library to print view.  I have deleted the captions and reentered them and still incorrect.

    Try closing LR and then reopen. If the problem persists post a screenshot in the Print module with captions on all six pictures and explain what's wrong.

  • Photo contact sheet

    I have folders with bunches of photos that I need to review. In Windows Explorer I could print out a contact sheet of the photos so I can tell at a glance what I have.
    Is it possible to do this in finder or any other program?

    Just to add a bit to buckster's suggestion--
    Once your photos are in iPhoto you can then print a contact sheet from iPhoto. From iPhoto help:
    To print photos as a contact sheet:
    Select the photos you want to print.
    Choose File > Print.
    Choose a print setting from the Presets pop-up menu.
    Choose Contact Sheet from the Style pop-up menu. The preview area shows how your photos will look when you print them.
    Select options for the style you chose.
    For example, you can select how many photos to print across each row of a contact sheet or show the title of each photo.
    Photoshop Elements is cheap, will allow you to do anything with your photos a non-pro could possibly want to do, and also will print a contact sheet. If you are getting into photography I stongly recommend you get yourself a copy.

  • 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.

  • Customizing Contact Sheets in iPhoto

    We used to be able to customize the order of the photos on the contact sheets in iPhoto by moving them around the actual sheet. I am unable to do find a way to do this with the current version of iPhoto. The only thing it allows me to customize is how many pictures per page... Anyone know if there's a way to do it the old way?

    Group the photos in an album and sort the into the order your want manually. Select all and print.  They will appear in the contact sheet in the order you put them in the album.

  • Contact Sheets / Proofing and useful Aperture RAW Conversion

    All,
    I wanted to appeal to all of you pro photographers out there to share about how you handle the proofing stage (contact sheets) with your clients. I'm curious about how you all make this process as efficient as possible.
    Ok, say you have taken 1000 pictures for a wedding or some other event (forget the accuracy of that number, its just a round number for discussion sake). You need to present your photos to your client, but you need to present a subset of the 1000 photos for a few reasons:
    1) Not all photos you are going to take are going to be great. I've heard a general quote by some pro photographers that their "keeper ratios" (the percentage of pics that are really good from a shoot) run around 10%-20%. Fair enough, I don't want to debate this percentage, but it gives us a target number of 100 photos to present to a client from a 1000 picture shoot.
    2) Your client is probably not going to be happy if they have to sift through 1000 photos. I recently had a friend who paid several thousand dollars for a wedding photographer who sent them 1000 photos to choose from. They weren't particularly happy with this, and told the guy there was just too many to choose from. Personally, I felt that this was putting part of the photographer's responsibility on the client, but whatever.
    Ok...so for the sake of the example here, we have to get 1000 photos down to 100 photos, so the client can choose what 50 (for example) they want to purchase and have printed, put in their photo book, slide presentation, etc.
    Sorry for the long intro, but here is the issue at hand: we want to work quickly for the client, and get them their 100 photos as soon as possible. We also want to put our best foot forward, and give them high-quality photos. But at the same time, we want to work efficiently, and if possible not spend time doing final retouching on photos that the customer doesn't want, but rather focus this time directly on the photos the customer does want.
    I have two questions from this which pertain to Aperture's RAW conversion and workflow:
    1) Do you do any significant adjustments on photos for the contact sheets you present to clients (the 100 photos now)? Is it just a quick exposure adjustment, or are you retouching all 100?
    2) Despite Aperture's RAW conversion problems and other adjustment glitches, is it sufficient quality in your opinion for a contact sheet?
    My purpose in asking these questions is that perhaps the Aperture RAW conversion issue can be mitigated if we can get to the point of customer contact and review using Aperture-only conversion and adjustment tools, and then isolate photoshop use for only the final, significant edits. The problems with Aperture's RAW conversion are well-documented, but the question is, could it still be sufficient for small-scale proofs, understanding that for large-scale, high-res images, it won't be suffcient.
    Your opinons are valued!

    ">-DELETE project from Aperture because I can't use the app for the delivery
    of finals:
    Forgive me if I've forgotten the detail you may have posted elsewhere about this. I have seen you mention this several times, but I am really interested in the specifics behind the problems you have encountered. I have some needs in finishing that are beyond just regurgitating a photo. I'll be basically augmenting my photo with text, borders, special effects, etc. for more professional presentation, and the ability to market a photo in different ways. This is one reason I cannot discard Photoshop from my workflow. Anyway, let's assume for a moment I'm able to do all my editing in Photoshop, and those PSD files are sitting within Aperture. From there, what problems am I going to encounter? I'm tapping your brain here, as the time I have spent in Aperture has been primarily oriented toward everything prior to the finishing stage. "
    Hi Brad,
    If I've imported images into Aperture that have previously been worked over in Photoshop, none of the layers I may have created in those files will be available to me from within Aperture. This does not break but severely sprains the functionality of Photoshop. I'm keeping the images around because I think I or my clients will need them later, so what might I do with them?:
    1) If I'd like to do more work on them I either have to abandon access to the previously created layers and their magic, or export the file from Aperture, work on it outside, import it back into Aperture. Every time I want to work with those layers I have to do the same dance.
    2) If I'd like to send jpg or tif versions of those files anywhere I can choose to use the tools within Aperture or Photoshop to do so. Aperture's tools for these conversions are simply not of professional utility: no compressed tifs, no layered tif support, no quality choices for jpgs and no jpg previews. And in either case, using Aperture or Photoshop, the conversions are created OUTSIDE of Aperture and not managed by it.
    3) When I decide to archive my older projects I'm faced with the incredible limitation that Aperture will not allow me any remote search of any archive that is not "live" within Aperture. Not even Spotlight will search Aperture libraries!!!!!
    So moving already created projects into Aperture has absolutely no advantages and a number of problems, any one of which might be a deal-killer by itself.
    If I'd like to use Aperture to manage work that I create going forward I've got those limitations already listed above, but I CAN access layers in PSD that are created from within Aperture. I cannot make layered duplicates of those files in order to work on versions of those images so once again the Photoshop workflow is hobbled.
    All of this makes it a bad idea for my projects to make anything but a brief trip in and out of Aperture for sorting/proofing.
    Regards,
    fp

  • 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.

  • Printing a contact sheet

    Is there any way to print a large group of photos as a contact sheet, or set of contact sheets?
    I know you can use Adobe Photoshop and do an automated batch command to create a contact sheet and then print it.
    Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    "Contact Sheets" should be one of the defaults at the top of the settings panel of the print dialog. There are many options, including printing metadata.
    Fuller instructions can be found by searching the Help file for "Contact Sheet":
    http://documentation.apple.com/search/#q=contact%20sheet
    If you can't get it set up the way you want, ask.

  • Contact Sheets and Real Workflows--Does Apeture work for you?

    As a sports photographer I need to produce contact sheets quickly after culling my images. The contact sheets need to show: image id or file name, the event, the date, my copyright, and some other minor info such as number of photos. The contact sheet must contain images which are of variable size (i.e., the number of rows and columns must be able to be varied so that the images will be larger or smaller depending on my and the client's needs). In addition, the manipulation of images, esp. rotation, must be convienient (i.e., can be done in groups of images or as "SELECT ALL").
    Right now I do not see any way to do this in Apeture. If not, I will never buy it as it does not meet my basic workflow needs. The sharpening, color correction, etc. manipulations only are needed after the client sees the work. Not all...not any have or are likely to have Apeture, so use of a printed contact sheet is an absolute. APPLE wake up and serve your customers.
    Anyone out there have the same needs and view? What does Apeture need to make it work for people whose shoots produce 500 images which are culled down to 150 for client viewing?

  • Printing Contact Sheet on a black background

    Hello,
    I would like to print a contact sheet on a black background.
    Is it possible?
    I have various type of photo 6x6 3x2 but also 4x3 or 1x3 and the space between these photo on the contact sheet is white... and not black as I think it should be to magnify the result of printing a contact sheet...
    Thanks

    Many thanks, but I have diferrent photo format (2x3, 4x3,1x1,1x3) so I still have white layout.
    If I could filter my collection by photo format it could be great and I could print a contact sheet with a thick black border to make it look like a real contact sheet... but I do not find how to organize my photo by format (only possible to classify them by Portrait or Landscape mode).
    Anyway, the print layout is a missing feature in LR (you have it in Bridge CS).
    Bye.

  • Contact sheet and photomerge not working

    I run Creative Cloud at a college and I'm trying to get the photo merge and contact sheet functions working in photoshop CC 2014
    I can run it from an administrator account but not the student accounts, where permissions are limited. The students get a dialog box like the following:
    This leads me to believe its a permissions error and I've run a procmon trace to try and find out where where the permissions need to be but I can't see anything that stands out. Is there a list of folders/filetypes that need to be able to run?

    It seems to be using ExtendScript.dll according to procmon.
    It is trying to find:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Presets\Scripts\ContactSheetII\ContactSheetII_en_GB.dat.LNK
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Presets\Scripts\ContactSheetII\ContactSheetII_en_GB.dat
    which both don't exist on the filesystem as there is no ContactSheetII folder containing them.
    It tries to do this about 100 times before (I assume) failing

  • Printing a contact sheet in LANDSCAPE mode

    In ye olden days of iPhoto when you used the print command it would format your photos into a contact sheet in a "landscape" layout (you don't need a degree in physics to realize it makes a more efficient use of a sheet of paper!). Now, when you use the same print command it formats them into a "portrait" layout (lots of wasted space). And there is nowhere to set the layout to either landscape or portrait (like there was in earlier incarnations of iPhoto).
    Since MOST photos are taken in a landscape fashion, this makes no sense that you cannot choose this layout type. Normally, I'd chalk it up to Apple's toy-like amateur software, but the fact that this obvious function was available in earlier versions makes this excuse moot.
    So, how do you format your contact sheets in a landscape layout?

    Someone else just recently asked the same question. Since then I found a way to do it.
    1 - in another application bring up the Page Setup window and create a custom size that's 11 inches wide and 8.5 inches in height.
    *Just determined that Step 1 is not needed.*
    2 -in iPhoto select the photos you want to print and hit the Print button
    2 - in the first Print window click on the Customize button.
    3 - in the next window click on Print Settings button.
    4 - in the next window select Custom as the paper size and set the width to 11 and height to 8.5 and click OK.
    5 - click Customize again.
    6 - in the next window set the number of columns and other settings.
    7 - Click on Print and go from there.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current.
