Black Background for Contact Sheets

Feature Request:
The ability to customize background color for contact sheets, particularly black. At this point it looks as if all we have is a white background.
If there is a way, please tell...
Thank you!
Linda

Hi Ian,
This is not about the interface but about printing the contact sheet.
There are photographers who would like to be able to make the backgrounds on their contact sheets print black ink.
I am actually making this request on behalf of another local photographer who attended our last Guild meeting. He searched high and low to see if it could be done but had no luck. I too searched for a way but couldn't find it. I think it is a worthwhile request since many of us might like to present comps with black rather than white paper showing.

  • I cannot find images for contact sheet printing.

    I have been printing hundreds of contact sheets and from time to time when I add pictures for contact sheet, I am unable to find the images I want even though they are open and in the project bin and in the same folder.  I may find two but not the other two and so on.  They all are the same size.  Thanks.

    You need to go into more detail about your problem. Perhaps you can provide screenshots of your dilemma with the software and provide more information that may help people answer your question. If not, you can always try reading the manual.

    If it is not too distracting, I like to overlay the credits on a still scene that sort of sums up the whole movie....just so the credits are not overshadowed by the background. That worked well for a movie of a little league baseball game and my favorite baseball little leaguer.
    Another time, for a birthday celebration for a retired very special person, I used rolling credits against just a smiling face of the birthday person with a chiming like version of happy birthday music. I kept everything light and readable with a balance between face and credits. Then as the credits ended, I eased into a thank you to him title followed by cameo shots of faces with names (about 3 cameos per image) of all the people who attended the gathering for this special person. So many times as the years go by there will be a person watching the video and asking who is that? So, my cameos were gently placed and presented and served the purpose of letting everyone know/remember who was who.
    I tend to let the work direct me in all decisions in creating the credits. Probably white is the generalized answer for lettering against a black background. Just white rolling credits on black does not necessarily grab by attention. But that is a generalization that may not apply to your specific project.
    Just some thoughts.

  • Black background for iBooks

    Recently, I attended a conference and sat next to someone who was using iBook on his iPad and the book had a black background. He explained that he could choose from white, sepia, and black for page backgrounds. I got my own iPad today and downloaded iBooks, but can only see white and sepia backgrounds. Can someone explain to me how to get the black background?
    Thanks for any help

    Under Settings > General > Accessibility there is an option for White on black. For anyone one else looking. The sepia option is available under fonts top right of the book while reading it in iBooks.
    Best.

  • Optimum number of images per sheet for contact sheet?

    what is the optimum number of images per sheet (like 5x5, 10x10 etc) for a contact sheet on the latest photoshop. optimum meaning the largest number of images per page so that you can still see what the image is of and the image number.
    thanks

    How are you going to use the Contact Sheet?  If you are not printing, but using your screen or website, you can use your file browser to simulate the Contact Sheet.  In Windows > File Explorer, choose large icons, and zoom in or out with Ctrl Mouse Wheel.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Error message for contact sheet II command - program error

    I am trying to create a contact sheet in photoshop elements editor (I have done this before so I know how to do it), but when I go ahead and click on the button an error message pops up: " the operation could not be completed. the file or directory could not be found. then I click on OK and another error message: could not complete the contact sheet II command because of a program error. HELP. this command was working fine 2 weeks ago

    Which operating system and version of photoshop elements are you using?
    The cause is usually because the folder that had been specified in the contact sheet ii dialog has been moved, deleted or renamed.
    If your on a mac os go to
    (user) Library\Preferences\Adobe\Plugins\Adobe Contact Sheet II PSE12\Elements
    and delete the
    Adobe Contact Sheet PSE12 Prefs
    hopefully you should be able to use the Contact Sheet II plugin again.
    To see your user Library, in the Finder Go menu press the Option key and then you should see Library listed on the Go menu.

  • Black background for transparent PNG images - Xcelsius 2008 SP4

    Hi Experts,
    I am using Xcelsius 2008 SP4. I have used Image component to show a PNG image with transparent background. When I export the flash, the image is being shown with a black background.
    In Xcelsius 2008 SP3, this problem was not there. I am facing this issue after installing SP4.
    Did anyone else face similar issue ? Is there any workaround ?
    regards,
    pasg

    Hi all,
    I was facing the very same issue. I succeeded in finding a solution to it. This is happening coz of the dimension and pixels of the .png image. I imported the image in the image component, which had the dimensions, 175 x 70, and was of 9.26 kb and the black background was visible. I then changed the dimension of the image to 428 x 140, and 19.2 kb (double the size), and VOILA!! to my surprise IT WORKED !
    Don’t forget to “check” the “embed file” and  “Hide SWF Background Color” check boxes in the image component's, general tab.
    Try the same, I hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Sara

  • Print Sharpening for contact sheets?

    When I am printing multiple images if I use the single image printing options I can set sharpening parameters in the print dialog. However if I switch to contact sheet printing, to get more than one image on a printed page, I lose the sharpening settings. Is it really impossible to do print sharpening when printing multiple images on a page or am I missing something?
    -Will Rabinovich

    A contact sheet doesn't have to be thumbnail size. I often print 2 5x7 s on one 81/2 x11 sheet of paper. The only way to do that in Aperture is with contact sheets or a light table, neither of which seems to have print sharpening

  • 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.

  • How to create a Contact Sheet with Adobe Photoshop CS5 from a disc with images in different folders

    I got a disc with images files (mainly ai and psd files) in different folders and subfolders, how can I create a contact sheet including all the image files in different folders. (It seems that Adobe Bridge can only create a contact sheet by clicking the image files directly but not a folder including the images files)
    thx!

    Use the optional Contact Sheet II plugin which is found in Adobe's Downloads:
    1) search for contact sheet in PS CS5 help
    2) choose the first result and read carefully about the Photoshop Optional Plug-In Picture Packager
    3) follow the instructions to download the zip file and note the location that you download it to.
    4) follow the instructions to install the files.
    I'm not sure how PS CS5 will handle ai vector image files or if you have to batch convert them to raster images first before using Contact Sheet II.  Contact Sheet II allows you to choose a folder and Include All SubFolders as an option so you could create a Contact Sheet folder and copy all of your desired folders into that folder which will become subfolders of the main folder you choose for your contact sheet.

    Hello, I would like to create and print a contact sheet in Photoshop elements 13. I have managed to do that but I need desperately to be able to place a title on the contact sheet. Also, each photograph has as name and I need these names to show up on the contact sheet when I print them out. If this is not possible I will just return my product. I have an old old version of Photoshop that will do just that but with this new elements I cannot find it.

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13/13.1 running on?
    Assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, open the Elements Organizer 13/13.1 and select your media
    for the Contact Sheet.
    Go to File Menu/Print and set up the Print Dialog for Contact Sheet.
    If you used Edit Menu/Add Caption beforehand, I can see how you can get
    Date
    Caption
    Filename
    under the Print dialog's "4" and even a page number if you have more than 1 page. But, I am not seeing
    where you are going to get a title for each of the contact sheets.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    You can get into the Elements Organizer 13/13.1 from the Welcome Screen or by clicking on the Organizer Tab
    at the bottom of the Expert workspace in the Premiere Elements 13/13.1 Editor.
    Please let us know if we have targeted your quesiton..
    Thank you.

  • Black Background leaves white RH line! Aghhhhh! :)

    Hi everyone....using a black square to create a black background for charts/graphs in Pages document and even though I extend the black background past the right hand border...it still leaves a faint white line when I save to PDF. Really annoying. Any suggestion on how to get rid of said white line would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
    Best,

    Where does it leave a faint white line?
    The border of what? The chart, the page, the margins, the image box?
    We can't see what you are describing so you need to be a bit clearer.

    btw Are your system details accurate because iWork 09 requires Mac OS X v10.4.11 or Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later
