Aperture missing "Picture Package"equivalent to photoshop???

Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that aperture is limited to printing very crude contact sheets that really do not compare to photoshops "picture package".
Basically I tried to print two 8x12s(different images) on a 13x19 photo paper. Ultimately I ended up going into photoshop where I resized the two images to 8x12s and positioned them onto a new 13x19 canvas. This then was a newly created file that I reimported back into aperture. I know this is not really a good work flow, but it seems that aperture has not even thought out a very crude picture package equivalent to photoshop
Also there is no measurement showing inches just pixels. It would be nice if they could show a ruler layout on the image it self similar to photoshop. Resizing in photoshop is much more practicle and straight forward.
I here that lightroom is far better for printing packages also.
Does any one agree about these shortcommings???

This is a glaring omission that has been noted since day 1 of Aperture 1.0, made more frustrating by the very robust printing features available in Lightroom. Surely Apple is aware of the problem, and hopefully they will find a fix in 1.6 or 2.0 or whatever comes next, but it's aggravating to know that a fairly sophisticated app like Aperture requires shareware oddities like ImageBuddy or Portraits-n-Prints in order to get packages working.
Time to fix this one, Apple. (Get the book tool working usefully while you're at it too!)

Is the add in "Picture Package" available for Photoshop CC?

In Photoshop CS 5, I had an add-in called "Picture Package" It was very handy to print multiple prints in various sizes. Is this available to use in Photoshop CC?

Was removed in cs6. However in CS6 pretetual version Windows the cs5 Plugin will work. Will not work in any scuscription version of Phoroshop.
My Photo Collage Toolkit can do Picture packages with a template or tiles with its Paste Image Roll script
Paste Image Roll script and Picture Package support documentation
http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PasteImageRoll.jsx
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.

Synching iPad/iPhone with Aperture missing pictures

Recently when I synch my iPad and iPhone with iTunes , the number of pictures I get on my iPad or iPhone is either less or equal to zero when compared to the folders and projects in my Aperture Library. For Example my entire Aperture library contains 15331 pictures if I synch it all I consistently get 5604 photos in my iPad or iPhone. I have the latest versions of OSX, Aperture and ITunes as well as iOS. I have repaired, rebuilt the Aperture Library and repaired permissions on my HD but the problem persists.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

There is no solution. USB 2.0 is required. If your notebook has a PCMCIA slot then you might look for a PCMCIA card that provides one or two USB 2.0 ports, but I don't know if such an animal exists.

Picture package plugin HELP

My new Photoshop CS4 doesn't have 'Picture Package'...?

I go to File > automate and Picture Package is not in the pop up menu. I can't access it from Bridge either Tools > Photoshop...Photoshop help says it is still a feature in CS4. What step am I missing? a bug?

What PDF plug-in are you talking about Dave? The picture package plug-in
that was in Photoshop wasn't a PDF plug-in, it didn't generate PDF files. It
took your picture package back in to Photoshop as a regular Photoshop
document, the same with the contact sheet plug-in. The complaint has nothing
to do with a PDF plug-in, it has to do with Adobe fixing it so that the only
output method (like the slideshow in Lightroom) is the very crAAppy PDF
format. They took away functionality just to push their format, now if their
format was appropriate and was what most people were using when the plug-in
was in Photoshop then that is fine, but I can bet you that most people after
using the plug-in in Photoshop didn't save it as PDF all that often. More
likely it was either printed and then trashed or printed and then saved as a
TIF or PSD or JPG. That is my complaint.
As for the crack post, well I would suggest you pull you head out of yours
and at least pretend that you have a clue about what is being said. Equating
my complaint to crack is just stupid.
As for ImageReady we have known for several versions that ImageReady was at
first a lame duck and then a dead one and that become very clear once Adobe
bought Macromedia. Fireworks is a 1000 times the program ImageReady was.

What do you use instead of picture package in photoshop cs6

What can you use instead of picture package in photoshop cs6. You cannot import it anymore to make pictures. I do not want to print one at a time.

I think the Bridge Output Module comes as standard with CS6, but I might be wrong. Even if you have CC, you can download the Output Module.

Why can't I print a picture package from Photoshop elements 11? I am using the trial version on my mac. I opened the editor and went to file. The picture package option was not in bold, therefore I was unable to click on it.

Photoshop elements 8 printing picture package stops working

When attempting to print a picture package, I get eratic results. Sometimes when selecting one or two photos it complete printing. I get the message that "elements has stopped working."

Hi
Being specific ... can you tell me what plateform on you are using PSE and the way you are trying to print.
Or you can do one thing easily : delete preferences of PSE and then try to use it for your purpose.
For deleting prefrences Launch PSE holding alt+shift+ctrl keys on windows or coomand+option+shift key on mac until you get the following message
Delete the settings and please lemme know if the problem exists.
Cheers,

Elements 10- picture package printing menu

When normally printing a single image in Elements 10, I can now use the print flow on having Elements manage the color instead of the printer because my Epson R3000 has paper profiles. However, when attempting to print a picture package the menu choice of - printer or elements manages the color is not available. What's up? What is managing the color output. The "advanced" menu only offers one menu box without any info on the correct setting. Also, not sure how to configure the printer menus, which is a separate issue. Unlike, CS3, I also can't save the package as a photo document. Am I missing something? Why can't I manage the printing like a regular image file? Thanks
Greg

Why not bring back the contact sheet II, picture package and web photo gallery back to the windows photoshop elements editor (where they used to be before the organizer) like the mac photoshop elements users have?

Picture package in ps cs6

pictue

There is a pitfall using smart objects if you create templates and use replace content to to replace the embedded object to create a picture package for other images. For it to work well the replacement object need to be the same size as the original object. All the smart object layers in a picture package share a common single smart object. Each smart object layer has an associated transform which is not replaced or changed when you replace the embedded smart object content. If the replacement object size is not the same as the original image the associated transforms may produce something you not expecting....
I posted this a few days ago:
If you are using windows and perpetual CS6 version not the subscription CS6 version you can install the CS5 optional Plug-in and get Picture Package working.    CS6 subscription version removed some Plug-in support that is used by the CS5 Pictture Package plug-in.    Mac users can not use Picture package in any version of CS6. The CS5 Mac picture package plug-in is a 32bit Plug-in and CS6 is 64bit only.
Window and Mac users can use Contact Sheet II however IMO its nothing like a Picture Package feature.    I have made available a Photo Collage Toolkit for Photoshop. In it there is a script PasteImageRoll that is more like a Picture Package function for a single tile size Picture Package then Contact Sheet II. I also modified my Batch collage script to populate a collage template using a single image file for all image location. So you can Populate a template of your design as a Picture Package.
Paste Image Roll Script and Picture Package Support Documentation.   Photo Collage Toolkit Documentation and Examples
Note: My batch script was written to populate collages its operation will be much slower then Photoshop old Picture Package plug-in. The script will save layered PSD files which can tweak before you print.   Paste Image Roll script requires no template and just creates a new document which it tiles your images into. It does not save or print it just creates a layer document which can tweak and print. You can also Flatten and save an image file.

How to get picture package to work again

I made the mistake of downloading the Yosemite operating system and now cannot get the picture package to work again. I have switched to 32 bit but this time it did not solve the problem. Again I really need help. I am using an iMac and have Photoshop version CS5.1
Mary

Did you look in the photoshop cs5.1 plugins folder to see if the ContactSheetII.plugin and WebContactSheetII.plugin are still there?
On some peoples systems, upgrading to Yosemite, for some reason, deletes some of the photoshop cs5/cs5.1 files.

16 bit Picture Package

I would like to have a Picture Package plugin that can produce 16 bit images from 16 bit files and runs with Photoshop in 64 bit mode on a Mac.

Adobe changed plug-in support In the Subscription version of CS6 so some old plugins like Picture Package and Web Photo Galery no longer work.
Adobe does not do a good regression testing they do not maintain Photoshop so it backwards compatible with previous versions of Photoshop. They remove features they have added and break features. Its a good idea to keep old version and not so old version of Photoshop around.
CC 2014 added and removed features and removes some support.
I have written Photoshop scripts that I use to do thing like Picture Package and Web Photo Gallery.
