Contact sheets, changing thumbnail order.

Using PSE4 with Windows XP, is it possible to change the order in which thumbnail images appear on contact sheets?
Producing the sheet is simple enough, but the order of images appears to be totally tied to the camera allocated file numbers. Placing A,B,C etc in front of selected image file numbers does not produce an order change and I cannot think of another approach.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Tony,
Have you tried making a PSE
b Collection
of the photos you want to print on the Contact Sheet. Then drag and drop within the Collection to establish the order that you wish and inititiate the printing of the Contact Sheet using the Collection.
For most Organinzer processes this will use the order of the photos in the Collection, but I don't think I have tried it specifically for a Contact Sheet.

    How do you print a contact sheet in sequential or file order number please

    If you have the Mac version of iWork/Numbers you can print individual sheets.  My sheets are "printed" on separate pages when using the iCloud beta, so another option may be to print just a range of pages (or a single page) via the print dialog setting in Preview (or your PDF viewer app).

  • Customizing Contact Sheets in iPhoto

    We used to be able to customize the order of the photos on the contact sheets in iPhoto by moving them around the actual sheet. I am unable to do find a way to do this with the current version of iPhoto. The only thing it allows me to customize is how many pictures per page... Anyone know if there's a way to do it the old way?

    Group the photos in an album and sort the into the order your want manually. Select all and print.  They will appear in the contact sheet in the order you put them in the album.

  • Contact sheet truncates and changes file name

    Greetings!
    I am using Photoshop CS3 on a G5 PowerPC running OS 10.5.4. My file name is 29 characters long and looks like this - Gar_070208_MD_42BlueHeron_055.JPG. When I make a contact sheet, PS puts the images in the correct order left to right top to bottom. What is wrong is PS changes the last part of the file name.
    My settings (I have 4 across and 5 down) are X-Include All Subfolders, X- Flatten All Layers, X- Rotate For Best Fit and X-Use Filename As Caption (Helvetica size 12 pt) The full name fits under each image with room to spare. The resulting name looks like this for the name above - Gar_070208_MD_42BlueH#4A895.JPG. I have tried making the CS a number of time varying the font size and no change. When making those changes, I notice that the file names are still wrong and are consistently the same wrong. And they get weirder, like #4A89D, #4A8A9, #4A8B1 ....
    The only thing I can figure is that PS does not like a file name longer than 27 characters, since that is what it truncates to. Or there is another problem/bug in the system.
    Any thoughts, ideas or workarounds?
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers!
    Gar

    I have the same problem. I am using PS CS3 running under OS 10.5.2. If the file name excluding the extension is longer than 27 characters, I get the same error, starting with the # character. However, if the file name is longer than 27 characters, it still appears correct in Bridge and in the documents folder. This leads me to speculate that it is a Photoshop problem, not an operating system issue.
    When I was using contact sheet II in PS CS2 under Windows XP, it worked ok for more than 27 characters.

  • How can I change the order of phone numbers in a contact?

    I have contacts that have more than one phone number (I am sure we all have those in this day and age). The importance of the phone numbers varies over time and I want to have the most important one as first on the list. How can I change the order that phone numbers are displayed within a contact?
    Thanks for any help.

    Currently, the order in which the phone numbers appear (in a contact) is dependent on the sequence to which you enter them. There is no way to change that order other than re-entering them in the desired order.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to change the number of rows while printing a contact sheet in Iphoto? Please help

    Hi guys, I am struggling to find out how to change the number of rows on a contact sheet on Iphoto , i have selected my photos and i want it to print 6 photos on each page however I am not able to do it.      Please help me out, im a Art student and i need to submit my contact sheets for an assignment  Thanks in advance guys !!!!!

    I don't think you can do that with the Contact Sheet layout.  If you have Pages or a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can do what you want.  Or try the demo version of OmniGraffle for Mac It will run fully operational for 14 days. 

  • How do I change the order of phone numbers in a contact?

    When I enter phone numbers for a contact on the iPhone, they seem to be stuck in the order they were entered. Is there any way to change the order using the phone interface? I sync with Yahoo Address Book. Will the order be preserved if I change the order there?

    Ditto! I am having the same problem. Anyone?

  • How to change the order of phone numbers in Contacts?

    For the phone numbers for a specific contact on my iPhone, I may have: 1. work fax, 2. work, 3. home, 4. mobile. For the same contact synced on my Mac, I have, in Address Book: 1. home, 2. mobile, 3. work and 4. work fax. I obviously prefer to have Mobile first.
    Is there a way to control and change the order of phone numbers for a contact on the iPhone?

    Before you sync your iPhone the next time, activate the option "sync addressbook" and "replace all Contacts on iPhone". The next sync will replace your contact info on your phone. From that point on all contact infos will be the same on your mac and and your phone. And changes or new infos will also be seen on both systems.
    Hope this helps

  • 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

  • Snow Leopard contact sheet layout changes possible?

    Unable to change contact sheet layout to suit my needs. E.g. I want 6 photos per page in two columns. The default option for two columns seems to be 2 or 4 photos/page. Ask for six and it creates two pages. The layout within the contact sheet seems to have lost some of the flexibility that OSX Leopard had. Is there something that I am overlooking?

    Thanks for your response.
    This what I do without getting the results I would like for 8.5x11 paper:
    1. I select 6 photos
    2. Hit "Print"
    3. Select "Contact Sheet" - the 6 photos are shown at the top of the 'page' in two rows.
    4. Select "Customize"
    5. Select "2 columns" (in the hope of getting the 6 photos arranged on one sheet - with the sheet in portrait format. Instead I get 4 photos on one sheet and lots of blank space.
    6. Select "Layout" icon. I see a sheet with 12 rectangles and a "1" in the margin. I am unable to make changes to the layout as shown.
    Hopefully I have described my situation well enough for you.
    Thanks

    You have three options:
    1 - c.pfaffenbichler's    idea of saving all open files after running CSII
    2 - Use Contact Sheet X. It has a lot of options for saving sheets: ps-scripts -  Browse /ContactSheetX/v2.1 at SourceForge.net
         CSX, for the most part, has a lot more features than CSII. Also, I wrote both so I speak from experience.
    3 - Modify CSII to save the sheets. There is legacy code from CSX in CSII for saving files. It should work if you make the following changes:
         a. change the line
              self.saveSheet = false;
         to
              self.saveSheet = true;
         b. change   self.outputFolder to the folder where you want the sheet to be saved.
         c. in the method ContactSheetII.prototype.saveDocument comment out or delete this line:
             Error.rutimeError(9500, ZStrings.UnknownInternalError);
         This function will also require other mods (e.g. getSaveOpts is not defined and should be replaced with code to create save options
         for whatever file type you want to save your sheets as).
    If you're not a scripter, options 1 or 2 are probably your best choices.

  • Contact sheets - order of images

    Running Windows XP, and Photoshop Elements 2.0 - I have a folder with about 125 pictures and would like to make a series of contact sheets. I want them in a particular order and have given them consecutive numbers in front of the titles to keep them in order in the folder. Problem is when creating the contact sheet it seems to select them and place them on the sheet in random order. Is there a way I can ensure the order remains the way I want it? Thanks for any help I can get!
    Joyce

    Joyce,
    Could you check one thing, please. I'm wondering if your numbering scheme may be causing a problem.
    By chance are you seeing a pattern of 1FN,10FN,11FN...2FN,20FN with FN being File Name. Sometimes when used in front of file names, a PC will read the values as chararcters instead of numbers.
    If the pattern is truly random 1FN,9FN,3FN then post back and we'll see how to fix this.

  • Photo order on contact sheets

    Once I'm done editing photos I burn a copy of all my originals and their edited versions onto a DVD. I store the DVD with contact sheets showing its contents. The originals and edited versions are stacked in Lightroom, so before I make the contact sheet I expand all my stacks. Even though my photos are sorted by capture time in Lightroom, this sorting does not carry over onto my contact sheets. I can't figure out what order they are in on the contact sheet, and it makes it hard to look through hundreds of images to find one. Any suggestions?

    Yes, the iTunes/Aperture integration seems a bit weak right now... I've been having some of the same issues, and have thus far given up on fixing them.
    Note that is not exclusively an tv problem, rather it's an issue with the integration between iTunes and Aperture... I have the same issues syncing photos to my iPod and iPod nano as well.
    Another important issue with Aperture and iTunes is that if you only choose selected albums to sync, and then go into Aperture and re-order those albums and/or create new ones, the selected items for synchronization will get completely messed up... I ended up replacing most of my expected photo content on my tv without realizing it as I was reorganizing my Aperture library and a completely different set of albums got selected for synchronization in iTunes.
    There are definitely some bugs to be worked out there....

  • How do I print the thumbnails as they are to make a contact sheet?

    How do I print the thumbnails as they are to make a contact sheet?

    Not sure what you mean by "as they are"
    TO print a contact sheet is extremely simple - select the photos and click print - select the contact sheet theme and make any other selections (printer, paper size, etc) and click print
