Compiling/printing a list of photos

Can anyone suggest how I could print out a list of the photos I have stored in iPhoto. Its a sort of database after all - so I should be able to print out a list with say filename in one column, title in next, comments in next, key words maybe in next.
Can't see how to do it in basic iPhoto - are there any add-ons available?

John:
Now with iView. But you can do it with iView MediaPro in its demo mode. You can get something like this:

The above is from a test library where I extracted the file name, description and keyword out in a tab delimitated format and put into Excel. It didn't paste very cleanly in this post but if it's tab delimited it will dispaly correctly in a text or spreadsheet application.
To accomplish this download and run iView MediaPro and open a new catalog window. Then locate and drag the Originals folder from your Library folder into the open iView window. Once the images are imported into the catalog click on the button in the top toolbar that looks like a bar chart. This is the Sort menu. Select the File name.
Once the images are sorted by file name go to the Make->Test Data File menu. When the next window opens you can select which of the very many items you want in your list. Then export to a text file( add the .txt extension in the file name that you choose as it isn't automatically added). Select tab delimited. Now you can open that file in a text editor or spreadsheet application.

How do I compile and print a list of photo titles

I have burnt several of my photos from iPhoto 2.01 on to a cd. I would like to compile and print a list of the titles of all these photos so I have some sort of an index of the photos for future reference. Is there a way of doing this?

Hi, Ian, and welcome to Apple Discussions. The simplest and most thorough way to do what you describe would be to use disk cataloguing software like DiskTracker. DT can compile a catalog of every file on every hard drive, CD, DVD, flash drive or other volume you have, then save the catalog either in its own native file format or as a text file that many other apps can open. You can search the catalog for a term appearing in any of the many fields it includes, including of course the filename. File Buddy can also do this, and it has hundreds of other uses as well. There are probably freeware file cataloguers available for download, but I don't know; I've had the two utilities mentioned above for a long time, and I consider File Buddy an incomparably valuable tool for any serious Mac user. I haven't needed to look elsewhere for file cataloguing capabilities since before the release of OS X.

Is it possible to print a list of photos?

Is it possible in iPhoto (iLife11) to print a simple list of photo descriptions, keywords & faces without printing to photos themselves? I have looked in various Help sites but cannot find a way of doing so. It looks to me as though it is not possible, help would be appreciated.

The closest thing to a list of file names would be to print a contact sheet of 10 columns per page with the file name under each photo.
Depending the the length of the file name you can get 13 or more rows per page. The longer file names will wrap to two lines thus taking up more space on the page.
It's close but no cigar.

Is it possible to print a list of names of photos from project

I would like to just print a list of just the names of photos in a certain project. Is this possible with aperture?

I can think of two ways to do it. It is not something Aperture was designed to do.
1. Select the project in the library and set the browser view to list view. You'll be able to see the names of the images on the left. You can use the Grab application to do a screen grab of the pertinent parts of the list. However, if the list is long and needs to be scrolled to see it all, you won't be able to Grab the whole thing at one time.
or
2. Select all the images in the project and File->Print Images. In the print dialog select contact sheet. In the Metadata & Page Options section set the Metadata View to "Name Only". You'll be able to print all the names but they will be included along with thumbnail images. You can make the thumbnails as small as possible by increasing the number of rows an columns in the Layout section.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

How do I print an 8"x10" photo on my HP 7525 printer.

The drop-down options for print size on my HP 7525 don't show 8"x10". I have the usual 4"x6", 3.5"x5" and 5"x7", then 10x15cm, 2L, Japanese Postcard, A6, L, 10x15 tab, 4x6" tab, 13x18ccm and Index card. But no choice for 8"x10". What must I do to print an 8"x10" photo?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello CKAY,
My old printer does not show 8x10 either.
In the printing preferences under the Paper/Quality tab, do you see a "Custom" option or button? There should be one in there somewhere in your preferences.
Click on that and create a custom size of 8 in for the width and 10 in for the length. Be sure to "Name" it 8x10 Photo and click ok.
Now give it whatever attributes you want under the other tabs and click Apply and OK (or just OK).
Close out the printer and open it again and the new size you created should show in the list.

How do I print a list of tags

Hey,
Does anybody know how to compile a list of all tags in a project for printing?

Hi there,
Well I was hoping that there was a function where it was possible to print only the props from script-tags for example. Like if printing a list of all tags marked "Props" from the Manage List function. But the schedule window can actually be used to only print the Prop column. This is a bit ugly, but it gets the props separated from the rest.
The problem was to output a list of props only, for the "go-get-the-props-guy" .. :-)

Is it possible to print a list of files bet specific dates in PSE7?

I am trying to print a list of all the photos inc the shot date so I can check I have scrapbook layouts for all the photos in 2009. I can organise the photos in date order using the thumbnail view but I can't sit there with my albums and check the layouts are in the correct order so would like a printout. Can it be done in PSE7?

You might want to look for an add-on for this.
Although Firefox has a feature to export your bookmarks to an HTML file which you could view in Firefox and copy from or print as with any other web page, it only shows the descriptive text and not the website address, so I suspect that isn't going to be very useful.
If you want to try to work with the built-in features, I suggest:
(1) Export your bookmarks to an HTML file; save it in a convenient location such as your Desktop or My Documents. This article has the steps: [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
(2) Open that HTML file in Firefox as a web page. You can double-click it (if it has a .htm or .html extension), or drag and drop the file onto an open tab, or use the menu: tap the Alt key > File menu > Open File.
(3) Locate the portion of the file you want to print, and select it. ''Do not print from Firefox because the selection printing generates needless blank pages.'' Instead, copy the selected bookmarks and paste into a blank word processing document or new email message to yourself. Then you can print from there.

Printing a list of events in iPhoto 08

Does anyone know if there is a way to print a list of events from iPhoto ... or, is there a way to see the list of events in the directory structure somewhere? I am trying to sync three different libraries, and the only way I know to do it is to export events from one iPhoto library and import them into the master library. Is there an easier way? If not, I'd like to be able to print a list of events so that I can more easily see which events are missing from the "master" so that I can create one master that I can then put on all three of my machines. Thanks!

The free version will only let you copy 10 photos or less at a time. IMO iPhoto Library Manager is well worth the money as it can let you manage multiple libraries so efficiently.
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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Printing a list of apps

How do I print a list?

Go to the Apple icon top left in your menu bar, click on About this Mac. Click on Get more Info.
Find the list of installed applications (it can take a while for it to be compiled) and copy/paste that into a text editor.

Do I need an AirPrint Printer to print a document or photo from my iPad

Do I need an AirPrint Printer to print a document or photo from my iPad 2 or can I just get a wireless printer and hook it up to my Wi-Fi router

If you're purchasing a new printer largely for this purpose, I strongly suggest you get an AirPrint capable printer. They are listed in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
If you do not use AirPrint, you will have to rely on the printer vendor to supply an app for you to use. For example, some wireless Epson printers that are not AirPrint capable can be used with the Epson iPrint app. But believe me, that offers a whole lot less capability than AirPrint to interface to an iPad (or iPhone).

How to print out wallet size photos on 6510 e-all-in-one series photosmart printer

want to print out wallet size photos (size 3 and a half x 2 and a half). I have windows XP and my printer is the photosmart 6510 e-all-in-one series

You will have to change the settings in the photo editing software and put 2 wallets on a 4x6 or 9 wallets on a full page. The photo tray will not take paper smaller than 4x6.

Thanks to all.

Actually, I noticed in "More Like This" questions similar to mine. One of the suggestions worked perfectly.
Command Shift 4 turns the arrow into a target scope. Use it to take a screen shot of the area you want printed. Thanks to all.

How do I print a list of only the album names I have in Itunes.

I am new to I Tunes.

In ITunes I have gone to Music.
I then did File > Print and selected Album Listing.
When I did this it did display the albums but also all the songs on each album.
I would like to have the album names only
After you click "Album Listing," you will see a "Theme" pulldown menu that gives you the choice of "Songs by Album" or "List of Albums." Choose the latter.
