Best Way to Print multiples in CS4

Ok, I have been hating this for a long time, so thought there might be a better way to do it.
I frequently get a list from my boss of a bunch of photos to print 4x6 (Epson R1900) there might be 10 or 100 different photos. Most of the time, I don't need to do any correction just print.
In CS/CS2/CS3 I had an action that called the print dialog and selected Scale to fit and 4x6, closed the photo, etc.. Photoshop always says that all actions can't be saved here-- ERR! So if I were to do a bunch, I would print the first one manually, then fire the action on the rest. (why can't Photoshop remember all the print settings?)
That worked well until CS4. I have the CS4 suite on XP. If you use "Scale To Fit" in an action, it crashes Photoshop. I have tried it on two Windows systems (XP and Vista/64) and it crashes EVERY TIME on both systems. Someone else tried the same action on the NAPP forum and confirmed a crash also.
Ideally, there would be a way for me to select 50 photos in Bridge and click a button and have them all print 4x6 to my Epson R1900.
Any recommendations on how to deal with this? Getting the action to work would be good, but surely there is a better way to do this!
I know I could use my MacBook Pro and it will run the action just fine, but I really would like to get this going on the main system here at the office.
Thanks,
Kirk

This isn't a direct answer, but QImage from DDISoftware was designed to print photos packed optimally on as many pages as it takes, and will interpolate and sharpen to the native resolution of the printer (or a fraction thereof) so there's no need to resize and sharpen, yourself.
http://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage/
There is a trial version and a support forum that the author of the program uses to answer questions.
The program is made to do everything itself and has a built in browser, but it can be hooked up to programs that have an "edit in external editor option" for multiple photos, and also works or as a drag-and-drop target for multiple photos, so it will automatically open with the selected or dragged photos already added to the print queue.  The core functionality has been around for years, and the author is mostly occupied with UI enhancements and RAW conversion sophistication in the "Studio" version, but I never use it for RAW conversion, just to print photos.

  • What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users?

    (I originally submitted this question under the "Mac OS X Technologies" section, but got no response. I'm submitting a duplicate here because this is where all the smart folks are! My apologies that my question is only partially related to OS X Server . . . )
    What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users on iOS and OS X?
    For example, suppose I have three collections of contacts: Bob's, Sally's, and Common. I want Bob to be able to access and sync Bob's contacts and Common contacts, and Sally to access and sync Sally's contacts and Common contacts. Bob and Sally never need to access or sync each other's contacts. Bob and Sally would both sync and share contacts in Common.
    How would I best implement this? It's my understanding I have three options for managing contacts across iOS and OS X: 1. iCloud accounts, 2. Install OS X server, or 3. Install and manage Darwin CardDAV directly. Which method would best support what I wish to do?
    I am a seasoned Unix geek well versed in the terminal, so I am prepared to get my hands dirty as much as necessary to achieve what I want. Also, it is sufficient if syncing takes place over WiFi on the local network, in fact, that is desirable versus syncing over the cloud.

    Thanks for your reply Nick101. I see my example was oversimplified. When I say "multiple groups of contacts over multiple users" I'm really referring to N groups of contacts over N users.
    So I need to add Fred, who can access and sync Bob's contacts, Sally's contacts, and Common contacts, as well as Fred's contacts. Can I do it with OS X server?
    You mention you keep your and your partner's contacts administered locally. What keeps you from administering them through OS X server as well?
    I am guessing this can all somehow be accomplished with multiple contact accounts, but I can't find any information on the web explicitly describing this.

  • What is the best way to print from an iPad?

    I have the Printer Pro app, and it seems to do a good job locating my wireless printer, but it gets complicated to print webpages or pages documents. What is the best way to print from an iPad 2?

    If you have a compatible printer, use AirPrint http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airprint.html and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    If not, you would need to purchase software, such as:

  • Best way to layout multiple images on a page

    Hi , I am a complete newbie to Dreamweaver and CSS, but am getting there :)
    I have a page with a <div>  #container that is 400 px wide, and is wish to install 4 images as a 2 x 2 matrix in this container.  What is the best way  to do this with CS4?  There are other times when I will want to do a 2.x 3 image matrix.
    I would appreciate all help and suggestions
    regards,
    Jill

    My method of choice to do what you want to do:
    Assuming that you want 2 side-by-side images (400 / 2 = 200), make the width 200px;
    Assuming that the 2 x 2 refers to square-format, height will also be 200px;
    Therefore, on the 2 x 3, width will remain 200px; height will be 300px;
    Create a div format "box" that is styled like:
    .twobytwo, .twobythree {
         width: 200px;
         height: 200px;
         float: left;
    .twobythree {
         height: 300px;
    <div id="container">
         <div class="twobytwo"><img [image code here]></img></div>
         <div class="twobytwo"><img...etc....
    </div>
    Because most of the properties are the same, I used a group selector for most of the property/values and added a single selector (.twobythree) for the one property that changed for the .twobythree.

  • What is the best way to manage multiple ipods using the same itunes?

    Hi Everyone
    i am trying to manage three different ipods through the one Itunes, all with very different tastes, not sure if I am doing it the best or easiest way so does anybody have a simple solution on what you're supposed to do, to keep it all simple!
    Cheers
    Liv

    If you have created a new Windows user account you need to log out and then log back in with your original user name. By default each Windows profile will have an independent iTunes library.
    If instead you managed to create a new library within the same profile. click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key, keep holding until asked to create or choose a library. Click Choose and navigte back to your original which should be at <User's Music>\iTunes.
    Your question as posed was:
    What is the best way to manage multiple iPods using the same iTunes {library}?
    in which case Selected Playlists is probably the best approach. Simply create a playlist for each device, Alice's iPod, Bob's iPhone etc. and sync the device with the appropriate list.

  • Best Way to Aggregate Multiple Announcement Apps and Possibly External RSS Feed

    Hello,
    I have two separate announcement apps (one in sub-site A, and one is sub-site B). I am trying to create a webpart that will display content from both apps together.
    I have tried to setup a CSWP and have been able to set the query to pull in the data (Although it shows expired announcements, which I would need to eliminate). Now, I am trying to customize the display of the CSWP, including the property mapping values
    to display the announcement title (currently working with the URL as a link) and body (truncated like the announcement summary view if possible).
    How can I get the body from the announcement to display? The 'body' field isn't listed as an option in the drop down list of mapping values. Do I need to toggle an option on the separate announcement apps, create a column, map a field, or some combination?
    Also, I'd like to know if it is possible to add in an external RSS feed. Or, if there is a completely different way to approach and accomplish this, please let me know.
    Thank you

    Hi,

  • Best way to achieve multiple paths with quizzes using Captivate 6?

    I’m looking for the best way to achieve multiple paths and quizzes using Captivate 6.
    Here is the scenario: The learner watches general slides 1 – 3 and then chooses between Path A, Path B, or both paths combined.  If they choose Path A then they watch the A portion only and take the A Quiz only. Same happens for Path B and for the two paths combined. The learner would only have to go one path to complete the course.
    What I’m finding is Captivate only has one Quiz results page (even if you create two separate quizzes, it merges them). I was trying to avoid having three separate projects for the same module to keep it simple. I see if I have three separate projects I could use the Multi-SCO Packager to merge them for use on my Moodle LMS. But wait, I don't have the elearning suite, so I don't have access to the Multi-SCO Packager...
    My question is: What is the best approach way to accomplish this goal? Any recommendations?
    Message was edited by: austingina

    Captivate 6 has Branch Aware quizzing.  Turn on that option in Quiz Settings and then your Quiz Results page should only show results for the branch your user visits.

  • Best Ways to Handle Multiple Users

    First post....heres my question. Can anyone help me determine the best way to handle multiple users in itunes? Some Background:
    My family shares one computer. We have on folder on the hard drive where we keep all our music files. I got an ipod and itunes and added some of the music to itunes and have pretty much used itunes for my music.
    Now my girlfriend got an ipod and I am hoping to somehow keep her music away from mine so to speak. So that I can keep synching my ipod without adding a bunch of music I dont want.
    Is there a way to handle this? So thankfull for any help!

    There is an apple article on this here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432
    It sounds as though method 1 would be best for you.

  • Best way to print result of query to file from pl/sql?

    If I have a query, let's say 'select * form my_table', what's the best way to print it to a file from pl/sql?
    Do I have to create a cursor, go through each line, and use some file output function? Or is there some clever way to say 'print this query to file!'

    The rest of my procedure (the one generating the query itself) is in PL/SQL. So it needs to be done from there. Any tricks?

    Depends on what you want printed. You can do something like System.out.println(myTable);but you may not like what you see. If you want to print anything else, extend JTable and create a new toString() method that prints out what you want.
    As for printing a SQL statement - assuming it is in a String, you can just do System.out.println(mySQLStatement);

  • Best way to print from application

    Hi!
    I have an application handling employee information. I'm trying to figure out the best way to print all information liked to an employee. What is best? I want to generate the page with a good layout, not just plain text(pictures, different fonts). I've tryed to draw strings on a picture but there are problems with page brakes. Is it hard to generate html files from xml, and are there any good tutorials or is it better to use html?
    Thanks!

    I suppose your app need to print some type of report, right?
    If so, go www.google.com and take a look at Jasper (you can do PDF,HTML,etc)
    and IReports (to build the 'appearence file')

  • Best way to print an image multiple times on same sheet and not lose quality when doing so

    Hello,
    I have the full subscription to Adobe Creative Suite, but am unfamiliar with almost all of the programs. I have used Photoshop a bit, but not too much.
    I have this project I do several times a year, and am sure there is a better way to do it.
    I am sent a colourful excel spreadsheet - a schedule. I print a bunch of copies full size, then need to print 8 copies on a single 8.5x11 piece of paper.
    I've tried several methods - but want to know what the best way to retain the best quality would be.
    The best I've done (and I'm not totally happy with) is to copy the image into Photoshop, save as a PDF, create 7 more copies then merge as a single PDF and print.
    I do find that the quality does suffer a bit.
    Can anyone suggest a better way?
    Thanks in advance.
    Amber

    With all the apps at your disposal, that is a long way around. Granted it is hard to not loose quality/data when scaling. But it makes sense to create the document to your liking, then create a new document that is 8.5" x 11" and place the original into it. Then using guides or alignment tools, duplicate that image.
    This allows you to have full control over the location of each image, and extra data needed like captions, names, etc. and how that data is formated.
    Luckily you have multiple programs that can accomplish this. Some are easier than others, some are more robust than others, etc. In the end it is what you are familar with and how much time you can spend on learning while getting the job done.
    Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign are all your go to programs from creating anything for print and they can be used for other media as well. But that is their strong suite, print.
    All three apps have their own dedicated forum on this site, so go ahead and mark them as your favorites as your questions for each need to be in their respective place.

  • What is the best way to have multiple devices on the same account so we can still share the same library.  Right now I have 7 and I believe it's causing them to malfunction.

    I have multiple devices on the same itunes library and they all starting to have the same issues.  Not recognizing numbers previously stored, not sending/receiving tests.  Do I need to get everyone separate itunes accounts? 

    What is the best way to set up itunes on our home network? 
    One iTunes library per person.  One iTunes account per person.
    If people wish to share songs, they can make copies.
