Contact sheet - just 2 pictures - How?

Hi,
I'm just trying, in iPhoto - to make an 8x10 print where I've placed 2 - 5x7 prints (one on top of the other) on the paper.
I'm trying to do that very simple exercise, and can't seem to make it work.
Or . . . just take 3 or 4 prints and resize them on an 8x10 paper - and make a contact sheet of that - but resize them to how I like them.
Can iPhoto do this (and I'm just doing it wrong!) or maybe iPhoto can't do this?
I have a Canon printer - MG5200 - if iPhoto won't let me make 2 5x7 prints on a page - can anyone maybe recommend software I might use, to just do this simple thing?
Thank you very much! I feel like I should know this . . . but I don't seem to
Thanks,
Larry

Thanks for the link, John, I hadn't noticed this in the knowledge base.
I should correct my earlier posting - it's only when I click on File, Print or File, Page setup that I get the problem, and as I said earlier, it's only on 2 PSD files - all others are perfectly OK.
From the KB article:
Solution 1: the moment I press File, Print, I get the message so can't change printer.
Solution 2: the moment I press File, Page setup, I get the message so can't change the page setup.
Solution 3: tried this - hasn't made a difference.
Solution 4: I have, but it only happens on 2 PSD files, no others.
Solution 5: Not tried yet, but if it's a faulty printer driver, why doesn't it affect all my PSD files, only 2 of them?
Solution 6: tried that - didn't work!
Solution 7: As with my previous comments, I don't understand whjy all other PSD files open OK, and as they do, I don't believe it can be a profile issue.
Solution 8: I'm a PC (to paraphrase that famous advert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)   :-)

  • Why do my vector files rasterize when I make a contact sheet in Bridge? How can I change quality?

    I am trying to make multiple vector files (Adobe Illustrator) into a PDF contact sheet. In doing this through the Output function of Bridge, the vector files are rasterized into a fuzzy, low resolution versions. I'm able to change the quality of the PDF itself; however, that does not affect how the vector files are rasterized. I can't seem to find any way to change this. I can make a contact sheet in InDesign or rasterize these things myself in Photoshop, but I thought Bridge was suppose to help "bridge" some of these functions and save some time. Has anyone found a workaround or some hidden quality box that I'm missing?

    Read this one, has screenshots of directories where you should be.  http://forums.adobe.com/message/6032961#6032961?tstart=0#6032961

  • Contact Sheet X v2.1 - how to increase space between caption & images?

    Contact Sheet X v2.1 has been working very well. But I can't find a way to increase the spacing between the captions and the images. They're practically touching. From time to time I need to move elements of the proof sheet. The dialog box for Contact Sheet X v2.1 doesn't appear to have anything to control the distance between caption and image. Does anyone have a solution? Using Photoshop CC, Mac OSX 10.9.5. Thank you.

    Somehow setting width="400" did not change anything. I also tried:
    mx|ColumnChart { columnWidthRatio: 0.8; width: 1000; columnWidth: 1000; }
    to no avail.
    Anyhow, I've reduced my columnWidthRatio to 0.8 though as you suggested. It looks better, but I'd still like some more space between the columns.
    Thanks!

  • 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!

    This functionality existed in an earlier version of Bridge but I'm not seeing it now that contact sheet is now in Photoshop.
    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.

  • Contact sheet printing speed

    Printing contact sheets with iPhoto takes quite a long time on my system. Will increasing the ram memory from 512mb to 1.5gb increase the printing speed or is it strictly related to the speed of the printer?

    shelkirsch:
    It depends on what you mean by a long time. I just started a contact sheet of 85 pictures, 6 across for 60 on the 1st page and 25 on the second, and it's took 1:26 to process the first page and 30 seconds for the 2nd page before sending to the printer. So if you're is around that time more memory may not help. I have 1.5G memory and a dual 1-G machine. I'm sure it's dependent on both the cpu speed and memory. Additional memory will help but improve it a little but it may be more cpu dependent. Just don't know. Generally you can't have too much memory.

  • Create contact sheet

    I have adobe photoshop cs6.  I use the automate - picture package in my older versions.  It is not an option in cs6.  To create a contact sheet.  I would like to do 9 images, of the same image (for trading cards).  I input the 3 images across and 3 images down, choose my image, but only one comes up on my contact sheet.  How do I do 9 images of the same image?  Or, is there a plug in for picture package?

    Slow down. You wrote you have CS6.  Now you you write you have Windows 8.1 and a HP Envy. HP Envy  all in one or note book ?  In any case I guessing it has a 64bit processor.   The PDF is for CS5 not CS6.   Adobe made some configuration changes from CS5 to CS6.  There are two versions of Windows CS6 Preternatural and Subscription.  The CS5 plug-in will not work in the CS6 Subscription version of Photoshop.
    Adobe in CS6 also added back Contact Sheet II that was removed in CS5 but made available as an optional download.   CS5 Contact Sheet also contained Picture Package.  The Contact Sheet II added back into CS6 was stripped the Picture Package feature.
    The CS6 Windows installer  install both a 64Bit and a 32Bit Photoshop executables when you run a 64Bit Windows OS.  So there is a 32bit Plug-in folder for the 32 bit Photoshop and there is a 64 Bit Plug-folder for the 64 Bit Photoshop.  in the CS5 optional plug-ins download there are both 32 and 64 bit version of the plugins.  When you have a 64 bit Windows OS both the 32 and 64 bit Plug-ins. Should be installed.  There was a configuration change made in CS6 for Plug-in.  The Optional CS5 Plug-ins should be installed like third Party Plug.  Adobe moved where the install their required.  I you read the CS5 Optional Plug-in PDF you would find the both the CS6 32 bit and 64 Bit Plugins folders were empty.  These folders in CS6 were created by the Adobe Installer for third party to install thir Plug-ins in.  These two folders should be where you copy the CS5 optional Plug-ins to.  The 32 bit one into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Plug-ins"  and the 64 bit one into "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins".  Note the two Contact Sheet II in My CS6 perpetual Automate menu.... On my other system I have CS6 Subscription version installed the CS5 plug-ins do not work in that CS6 version Adobe remove some Plug support or disables the CS5 Plug-ins...

  • How do I save a contact sheet?

    How do I make and save a contact sheet as I don't print at home so need to save it not print it? I have Elements 5, just ordered Elements 7 (havent even recieved it yet) and now 8 has been released (don't you hate that!). Help will be appreciated!

    PDF995 is a free utility that converts any kind of document into a PDF file.  It functions like a printer driver.  Instead of sending the document (the contact sheet) to a real printer, send it to PDF995, which will create a PDF file that can be printed anywhere.
    http://www.pdf995.com/download.html
    Another free utility is IrfanView (www.irfanview.com).  It will let you create and save contact sheets in JPEG or other picture formats.

  • TS3989 hi one guy stolen my iphone, and now i need my pictures which i have in my icloud i open my Apple id in icloud but i downlode just 20 pic how i got my all picturs in my pc?

    hi one guy stolen my iphone, and now i need my pictures which i have in my icloud i open my Apple id in icloud but i downlode just 20 pic how i got my all picturs in my pc?

    Update:  I reset my phone again and this time I restored it from my last iCloud backup.  That "sort of" worked.  (The missing info was on my phone temporarily, but it's still missing from iCloud.com and as the phone syncs with the cloud the missing contacts are disappearing.) 
    This is good news, but I'm losing progress.  How can I restore my iCloud settings to that last backup?

  • 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.

  • How to include ratings in contact sheets in Bridge CS4??

    I'm trying to find out how to include my ratings and labels in a contact sheet, to share that with someone who is not going to use Bridge but ideally just a PDF. Is that at all possible? Thanks!

    Is that at all possible?
    To my knowledge not in the AOM settings, the options inhere are still a bit limited. But you can use the sort order for rating and in combination with batch rename you could be a bit creative by adding a mark like 1 star or 2 stars to the filename for the selected files. Or use same rated files per page.

  • I have several issues that I hope you can help me out with. I am a professional photographer with a Mac with OS X 10.9.4: - I can only make ONE contact sheet in CS6 (from AUTOMATE) from pictures indicated in Bridge. If I want to make another contact sheet

    I have several issues that I hope you can help me out with. I am a professional photographer with a Mac with OS X 10.9.4:
    - I can only make ONE contact sheet in CS6 (from AUTOMATE) from pictures indicated in Bridge. If I want to make another contact sheet I need to shut down and restart CS6.
    - Camera RAW: if I change any setting in Camera RAW (except exposure), having first optimized the exposure, the exposure will automatically return to zero. Sometimes when I've set exposure and cropped the picture in Camera RAW Plug-In, the effects are lost just by opening the picture in CS6.
    - Sometimes if I crop a picture in Camera RAW, it may be impossible to open it again from Bridge!
    - I cannot do lens corrections in Camera RAW, at all. The Camera RAW comment is that "it cannot load the correct lens type". Why?

    Are you writing that when you select  a large number of images in the bridge  like a hundred thumbnails  when you then use Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Contact Sheet II that Photoshop only produces a single contact sheet for the first few thumbnails and fails to produce additional contact sheets for the other selected thumbnails? Photoshop contact sheet II script should create as many contact sheet as needed  for the numbers of thumbnails selected.  Perhaps the script is hung or you have exhausted  your machine resources.
    ACR Crop tool does not crop the RAW file it records crop settings to be used during the conversion process.    Camera RAW DATA is not altered.  The only changes made to RAW Files is ACR Metadata may be added.  Anything you do in ACR can be un-done in ACR.    If you can not open a RAW File in ACR the Files is either corrupt or from a new camera ACR does not support yet.  ACR should not corrupt RAW files.
    If you do not have a lens profile for ACR I think you should still be able to do lens correction manually in ACR.
    Some of what you write I don't follow could you post some screen captures of your problems often a picture helps.
