Contact Sheet with Photo ID?

Hello fine folks,
I want to print out the contents of a photo album onto a contact sheet. Bingo ... iPhoto gives me that option.
But a digital contact sheet without photo file numbers is pretty much useless. Is there any way to print a contact sheet that contains the photo file name?
Many thanks!

John:
There are a couple of workarounds to get a contact sheet with title.
1 - Create a gallery with the File->Export->Web Page menu option and select the option for titles in the gallery page. You can set the number of columns and other info. You don't have to worry about the media pages as you won't be using them. Then open the resulting galley page in Safari and print from there. There's a free 3rd party application,Galerie, that will produce a much nicer gallery page that the default iPhoto one. There's also BetterHTMLExport which has some terrific themes and lots of control.
2 - Create an iPhoto book using the Year Book theme. You can have from 1 to 32 pictures per page and the titles will automatically be put below each photo. Then start a print of the book but actually save it as a pdf file. Then you can use preview to print individual pages.The caveat to this method is that the pages will be in landscape orientation.
Do you Twango?

How to print contact sheet with file names

I want to print a photo contact sheet with file names. Is this possible with any standard Mac app?

I'd like to print the Album name at the top of each contact sheet I produce from that album - is this possible within iphoto '08 or do I need to print to a pdf and then edit that pdf with acrobat pro for example.

Contact sheet with Photoshop CS5 Windows 7

Hello
As I tried to make some contact sheets with Photoshop CS5, I found that this functions disappeared from the "Automatization" menu (I had it in Photoshop CS3)
How could I do ? Is there some special "plugin" to do that ?
I use a french version of Photoshop CS5 running on Windows 7
Thanks Have a good day

Yes, do try the bridge version and also you can download the Optional plugins for cs5,
which includes the old contact sheet II, but please READ the instructions before installing.

Contact sheet with variable rows/columns

I'm interested in an InDesign Contact Sheet script/plug-in that is capable of creating a contact sheet with variable rows and columns, allowing amages to be placed at 100%. For example, say I have 20 images all of various dimensions. I'd like to place each one on an ID page at 100% while fitting as many on a single page as possible. So if one of the images was 8in x 10in then it would be the only image on the page, assuming a page size of 8.5 x 11. If smaller images were included in the same batch though, they would be placed as many across and as many down as could fit. Any images larger than the select page size would scale to fit on the page.
All of the existing solutions I've found so far force you to choose the number of rows and columns and then images are scaled to meet those requirements.
Does anyone know if such a solution is out there?

A stand-alone app that can do the same thing, essentially create scatter proofs, may work as well. If anyone knows of such a thing I'd be interested to hear.

Contact Sheet of Photos

How do I create a contact sheet of photos -- say 10 per page?

Select the photos you want to put on the contact sheet, start the print process and select Contact Sheet in the layout options:
The no. of columns will decide the size of the image and the number on one page. The settings will let you include photo info as shown in the screenshot.
Another way is to select the photos to print, start the print process, click on Custom and select a print size that will let you get the number of photos per page that you'd like. The can be a bit larger:

Building contact sheets with CS5

I am trying to build contact sheets with Bridge in CS5. The feature works great except if you have an odd number of images, the last of the images are built into the contact sheet at a much larger size and not kept proportional to the first images in the contact sheets ie: if you are building 8x11 contact sheets with 18 images and you want 8 images per sheet, the first two sheets are great and the last sheet with the final 2 images have the images at a much larger size relative to the first 16 images. Is there a way to have bridge maintain the correct image proportion on all contact sheets short of creating "dummy" images that divide by 8 for instance giving you an equal number?

Hi,
You can also try asking here if no one replies to this post (Bridge Windows forum):
http://forums.adobe.com/community/bridge/bridge_windows
I don't have enough experience with the Bridge Output Module options to suggest anything, sorry. If you post in the Bridge forum and don't get any replies in a week, ping back here and I'll see if I can get some answers for you.

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.

Contact Sheet with no extensions

I am producing a graduation edition with hundreds of senior photos. All the photos are cropped the same size, grayscaled and named alphabetically. I would like to produce a contact sheet because it puts the names underneath the photo but it also includes the file extension. Using this method is much faster than placing individual photos on the page and re-typing names. I am using PhotoShop CS3. Is there a way to make this work?

Unziping the CSX-1_3.zip file produces two first-level folders: csx and csx-1_3. In the csx folder look for a README.txt file that gives manual installation instructions. This might work for you instead of running the InstallCSX script. (I installed my csx last year and have forgotten if I used the script or manual installation.)
The manual install procedure also is in the CSX.pdf documentation file in the csx directory plus more info on files in the package.

How can I print a contact sheet with a repeated row of images?

Hi there,
I am hoping that it is possible with my version of iPhoto to print a contact sheet on which I need to have a row of 8 pictures that then repeat down the entire page.
I understand how to set the slider for the number of "rows" across the page. But, how do I then get these 8 pictures to repeat on the same piece of paper?
I am an art teacher...need to do this for a project for my class!
thanks for any help that may lead me to success...
peace,
Robin

A contact sheet can only put each photo once on the page. I can't think of a way to do it in iPhoto.
I was able to do what you describe in Photoshop Elements. If you have access to that program you can give it a try.
In Photoshop Elements, open all 8 photos.
Choose File->Contact Sheet II
Source Images Use: Current Open Documents
Thumbnails: Place across first, Columns: 8, Rows 1 (Use Auto Spacing)
Uncheck "Use Filename as Caption" unless you want the names.
Click OK.
You then need to move the row of photos to the top of the page with the move tool. Then while holding down the option and shift keys, use the move tool to drag copies repeatedly until you've filled the page.

I have a contact sheet of photos how can I quickly import the individual photos from the 9 photo contact sheet without edit each one then having to reimport contact sheet

I have a full contact sheet of 9 photos which I have imported. How do I take each individual photo and save it without having to edit from the contact sheet each time as this forces me to reimport the contact?

You can't. If you have a sheet with 9 shots on it and you want to make 9 individual shots you'll need to either
Import 9 times
Or
Duplicate 8 times
And crop accordingly.

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.

Can I Print a Contact Sheet of Photos in a Calendar?

I'm making personalized calendars for many different people. I don't want to put in the same photos I had in their calendar for 2011. Is there a way I can print a contact sheet of the photos I had in the 2011 calendar ( I still have it saved in Projects), so I don't use the same photos? It's very tedious going back & forth, back & forth as I creat each new calendar.
Many thanks.

Why is my Aperture contact sheet missing photos?

I have 437 photos selected. I choose Print>Contact Sheets. I choose 4 rows/6 columns. But no matter what I do, Aperture will only load 16 images per page. The next page will also have 16 images. I have tweaked the number of columns and rows but this does not fix it. Any ideas?

What are your settings for Row Spacing, Column Spacing, and Margins?
Do you have anything set to show in the Metadata & Page Options section?
Are you waiting long enough for the print preview to generate the page previews? It can take a minute or longer.

Printing one image on a contact sheet with different gamma settings

Hi,
I am currently using Aperture 1.1, and I would like to print out a contact sheet of one image (each with a different gamma setting) to my Epson R800 printer. Any idea on how to do this? Also, I seem to be somewhat limited in my printing options, is it possible to print out say two or three images on one sheet?

Not without actually duplicating the intended images for the print.

Contact sheet with name of images

i saw a couple of references to this. one involved printing out of aperture to pdf, one involved image buddy and one appeared to involve exporting to html.
is there a good way to get a set of contact sheets out with the names of the files so I can review them?
i believe I am looking for something like a photoshop capability that lets me spec number of columns and rows and text size etc.
thanks for any help on getting there.
- Jon

Check out the utility of the built-in "Contact Sheet" preset in the print dialog before you look elsewhere. You can specify number of columns and rows and print metadata below each image (as well as lots of other options).
Don't know from your message whether you are planning to print or review on a computer. I assume you can't just review the images in Aperture?
