Contact sheet is crashing?

I'm using Photoshop CS3 extended 10.0.1 on a macbook pro with os 10.5.8. All of a sudden, contact sheet II is crashing. I've tried it with a variety of images to be certain it's not a corrupt image issue. Photoshop creates the sheet but then says "could not complete your request because of a program error". The notice keeps popping up until I force quit. This is new. I have always been able to use it with no problem. Any ideas? Thank you.

(it worked one time, but the type size of the names were too big and I
couldn't read the entire name)
Just tried 446 jpg files (10x15 cm 300 dpi, relatively small but not to
small) and had no problems with 72 ppi quality 50.
Then I tried the same amount of files with PSD files, each around 60 MB and
also here (although obvious it took a little longer) no problem in creating
the PDF Contact Sheet.
Did choose landscape orientation and 6 columns and 4 rows, resulting in 19
page PDF document.
In Overlays you can select the option to display or hide the file extension
and also font size of the filename is adjustable. In my case I choose 6 pt
but 4 pt is the smallest option. That combined with no file extensions is
likely to be able to display the whole filename.
You could first try to choose purge cache for folder and try again. It
should be no problem to create a PDF contact sheet with this amount of files
and also illustrator files should not give any problem.
Also check if you have read an write permissions for the folder and files
you are using.
And if this still is causing problems try to divide the files further in
halves to find out if there are problem files. But since you already divided
in two and had same problems this is not likely the cause of the problem I
should think.
And rereading your post, try also to select the folder, let Bridge cache the
content first (the activity bar bottom left shows a spinning circle if still
busy) and then select the top file and scroll down to the bottom of the
content file and with shift click select all files.

Lightroom 4 contact sheet print crashes with over 12 images - Please help.

Lightroom 4 consistently crashes every time I attempt to print a contact sheet containing over 12 images. Any less and the task is completed without error, any more and it inevitably crashes. Any thoughts?
My workaround has been to export the images and create large contact sheets in Photoshop CS6, but this takes twice as long.
This is a daily task and is significantly disrupting my workflow. Please help.
Regards,
Eliot

So, I had this problem tonight after experiencing no problems with Lightroom 4 previously. I noticed that in the print dialog box, where you can select to print "all" the pages or a page range, the page range radial was highlighted and the defined page range was "7" to "7". I was only printing one image so I changed the print range to "1" to "1". And it did the trick. Crazy, eh?

Lightroom 2.2 crashes when creating PDF contact sheet

I'm trying to create a PDF contact sheet for a client urgently. Contact sheet is 10 pages, 6 columns by 5 rows. Printing at 240 dpi with PDF set to JPG medium. System is windows XP with 3GB RAM & 1GB Video RAM. Most of the shots have had some kind of Lightroom brush adjustment, mainly selective sharpening or selective exposure.
First page always seems to print out fine. Second page will not print, even if if I try to print just that page.
Layout is set to show file names and page numbers, print sharpening is off.

That's the LR 2.2 memory bug. Upgrade it to 2.3 (see top of forum)

Contact Sheets as pdf

Hi everyone,
I recently upgraded my computer to a Core i5 750, 8Go Ram, dual 24" screen and Win 7 64 bits. I also got Lightroom 3, update
from the previous one. I used to export my contact sheets as pdf with PrimoPDF (sorry, not adobe) and it was working fine but since
all these hardware and softwares upgrades, Lightroom 3 keeps on freezing everytime I try to generate and save a contact sheet as pdf.
I had a look in the task manager, it's eating up to 4Go of Ram and sometimes it even completely froze the computer with 8 Go of ram used...
Exporting the contact sheets as jpg is fine.
Any idea?
Cheers
Olivier

Hi, sorry for my late reply, I've been really busy lately.
I have tried with pdfcreator and what you suggested but everytime it crashed Lightroom. I eventually removed Lightroom, did a reinstall, it looks like it's working now. But I feel that Lightroom is crashing way too much compared to version 2.7.
Thanks anyway.
Cheers
Olivier

Program error when Making Contact Sheet from Bridge

I had been making contact sheet from the bridge using CS3 with no problem till a week ago when after completing the contact sheet, I get an error message saying that there was a program error, and photoshop locks up. I have to force quit. I am using a G5 dual 2.5 and 2 Gigs of RAM. I tried reinstalling without any luck.
Any ideas?

Does it work in a new User Account?
Have you tried cleaning-out your Caches (use Cocktail); or trashing Prefs.?

Adobe Bridge CS5, error when creating contact sheet "There is insufficient disk space..."

I am running Bridge CS5 for the first time and I receive this error when attempting to create a contact sheet. "There is insufficient disk space to complete this operation." The image files I am using are web optimized and very small. The error even occurs when attempting one small image. I have gone back to using Bridge CS4 and it works just fine. Any help?
Thanks!

I think I narrowed this down to having a network volume mounted with a share name of "Users". The strange thing is even you if unmount the volume you will still have problems. However, if you avoid mounting the volume entirely (from boot) it will be OK.
The solution, it appears, is to rename the sharepoint to something other than "Users". This worked for us. I'm not sure if it matters whether the server is Windows or Mac OS. In our case the sharepoint was an AFP volume on Mac OS.
We had other errors related to Bridge such as "unable to create folder" and the path in the message appeared to be /Users/currentUser/..... which made no sense at all. However, if Bridge was internally trying to use /Volumes/Users (the mounted sharepoint), it would not only not find "currentUser", but it would not have permissions to create that folder either.
So, another possible solution could be to grant file creation rights on the network volume "Users". Another not-so-great idea.
Hope that helps someone else!

Trying to create a contact sheet for passport photos....HELP!

Aperture 3 and iMac are both new to me and after a lot of research, I finally figured out how to make a contact sheet for my passport photo so that I don't have to pay 10.00 for a measly 2x2 photo at Walgreen's. I went to file>print>selected the 8x10 borderless size and adjusted the picture so that I would be able to print 20 2x2 photos on one sheet. PERFECT....but....I don't really want to print it myself ( I don't have any photo paper right now )...I want to SAVE the image I created and upload it to Walgreen's so that they can print it. Then, I will cut out the 2x2 photo that I need. The only problem right now is that I cannot figure out how to SAVE the image to my computer, either in iPhoto or Aperture 3. If anyone knows, can you please help me out with this. OR if there is another way to create the image in another area of Aperture 3 I would like to know how!
Thanks for any help you can provide

Once in print after you have the layout you want select the Print button. This will bring up the system print window (not actually print the image yet).
At the bottom of the new window is a button PDF select that. From that pulldown you can elect to save the print image as a pdf or better yet for your need you can save as a JPG (or TIFF)
Once you have it saved as a JPG you can upload to Walgreen;s

Minor bug in Print module (numbering of Contact Sheet pages)

I have selected one image from the Library or the film strip, went to the Print module and selected "5x8 Contact Sheet" from the Template Browser. On the top/left corner, it states "Page 1 of 2", while obviously there is one page only. Adding more pictures to fill in multiple pages, and moving from one page to another, the indication on top/left is recurrently wrong, e.g. indicating Page 2 of 2 when I am on 1 of 2. Numbering in the lower right rectangle is correct, instead.

Lightroom automatically wraps text under the thumbnail in contact sheets. The Text Template Editor does not allow you to enter line breaks. So, if your Filename is long enough to fill the first line, the caption will start with the second. If not, you can tweak the template somehow so that it looks the way you want.

NDesign Contact Sheet not working in CS 2

Im sorry for double posting (I have already posted this before at http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c061ba7/1 but nobody has replied... this area may me mor appropriate anyway.
I a computer at work with CS 2 and Vista on it. Everything is fully up to date. When I try to run the contact sheet script from the tools menu it brings up a dialog box saying "Starting..." (if InDesign isn't open it will open it) and then it just sits there for about 2 mins and then it stops. InDesign doesn't even start a new document.
Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on and how I might be able to fix it? (and yes I am using it correctly... have been using CS 2 for years and have used this feature many other times in past jobs)
Thanks

We have had this problem at work for a couple of years, with no resolution from Adobe. On our Macs it comes and goes - sometimes they can do the contact sheets and sometimes they can't. On the PCs it either works or it doesn't. In our unfortunate experience, uninstalling CS2 and then re-installing doesn't help. However, it's working like a dream since we upgraded to CS3 (except for the little fact that it is creating frames around every image - trying to find a resolution for that, hence trawling the forums for info)!

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.

How can I create a PDF contact sheet of photos in finder

I'm trying to create an automator workflow/action (or service) that will allow me to select a set of photos in the finder and then create a PDF contact sheet that will include the Photo filename. I know that I can select photos and open in preview, but these do not include the filename with the photo in the saved PDF.
I'm a newbie with Automator, but i gave it a try myself.
In the Automator PDF Library, there is an action called "New PDF contact sheet", however I can't seem to be able to get it to work. I dragged that action to the workflow and then added "Get Selected Finder Items" before that.
It appears to run it--an "application"/window appears titled "MakePDF" and it appears to run through the selected photos. However, at the end (after it asks for the file name to save it with), it says that "The action “New PDF Contact Sheet” encountered an error--check the actions properties and try running the workflow again".
What am I leaving out of the workflow?

There is a bug in the *New PDF Contact Sheet* action in that it is looking for the Leopard version of a file that moved and changed in Snow Leopard.
Snow Leopard has a newer version of a support application MakePDF.app in the */System/Library/Image Capture/Automatic Tasks* folder, but as mentioned the *New PDF Contact Sheet* action seems to still require the older version of the application, which in Leopard is located in the */System/Library/Image Capture/Tools* folder. If you have access to a Leopard installation, you can copy the MakePDF.app from Leopard and place it into the same location in Snow Leopard (/System/Library/Image Capture/Tools) - this will get the action working again.

Is there a way to export your photo links from Illustrator (CS6) to a contact sheet?

So I've got this project where I'm making a set of images and placing about 300 photos with each set. In order to avoid duplication and to track which photos were used where, I'm having to take screen shots of the links panel (scrolling down and taking another for each batch of images on each file). This is a really clunky way to track these files and a contact sheet would be a lot easier to work with. Is there a way to export the links to a contact sheet in Illustrator?

- select your images
- open the Document Info Panel, check "Selection Only", "Linked Images" and click on "Save..."

HELP! Different colors in Single print vs Contact Sheet print

Aperture 1.5.1, G5, 10.4.8, Apple 30" display, Kodak 1400 Dye Sub printer, Canon 350D, shooting RAW.
I have a few pictures and I want to print them. They are baby pictures so picture a little baby in standard issue baby yellow tee shirt and wrapped in baby yellow blanket.
I select four pix and go to print images. In Single Images I set it up as Kodak 1400, Color sync profile Kodak 1400 Glossy, no color correction and changes in printer settings. I then do a preview and the images are prepared and displayed in Preview and they look fine.
With the same four images, in Contact Sheet I set it up as Kodak 1400, Color sync profile Kodak 1400 Glossy, no color correction and changes in printer settings. I then do a preview and the images are prepared and displayed in Preview and they look like ****. Baby's yellow cloths are blown out to almost white. The off white wall behind mother and baby is blue.
I've tried several setups and tweaks and I always get the same result. One print on a page looks great, contact sheets look like ****. It's like the contact sheet setup is using completely different color settings than the single sheet setup.
Unfortunately you can't morph a working single sheet into a contact sheet. They have to start from different places (create new single vs create new contact)
HAs this already been discussed and fixed? hopefully?

How can I change the background color of a contact sheet?

I'm making my contact sheet just fine but it's on a white background, and I'd like to change it to a darker gray. This functionality existed in an earlier version of Bridge but I'm not seeing it now that contact sheet is now in Photoshop. Any ideas? Thanks!

Say what?
Anyway in Photoshop’s Contact Sheet II just don’t check "Flatten All Layers" and you can then add the intended background to the resulting files.
