Contact Sheets into jpegs

Hi,
I managed to create the contact sheets in the print output section in LR, but I cannot find any way, or help topics on how to turn them into jpegs for outsource printing?
I have CS4, bridge lightroom etc, any help is very much appreciated.
Kevin

Hi Kevin!
In the PRINT JOB panel change the Print To: from Printer to JPEG File and you will be able to do that.

Making a contact sheet into a photobook

Hello everyone,
I would like to use the aperture photo book service to create a contact sheet book. Something similar to the "print contact sheet" function, but instead have it made into a book.
Is it possible to create some kind of template where I can just drop all my images into the book and have all the pages automaticallly made with the filename below each thumbnail?
Help!
Erik

Maybe "print" your contact sheets to pdf, then import
those pdf's an make your book?
That's exactly what I would do. To Aperture, PDF files are just another image file format that can be imported and used as a master. All you would have to do, is to make a project and import all of your contact sheets into it. Then, just make a book of them.
When you make your contact sheets, set up a custom page size that matches the dimensions of the book you want to order.

Installing contact sheet into cs4?

hi i have found the contact sheet on my disk, i cant install it into cs4, it says it is the wrong type of document?
does anyone know how to get it in there?

You don't double click on it to install it, you have to manually copy the necesary files to the right location. You can find the installation instructions in Goodies\Optional plug-ins\OptionalPluginsReadMe.pdf. If you have problems installing it then check out some of the comments from this page:

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.

Another free utility is IrfanView (www.irfanview.com). It will let you create and save contact sheets in JPEG or other picture formats.

Tagging Contact Sheets With Keywords

I have 81 contact sheets, each containing 250 small images. Is there a way to use Bridge to tag the individual thumbnail images with keywords for later reference?
And, for that matter, can someone suggest a way to break up the thumbnails into individual images?

Why would you want to make a contact sheet of individual thumbnails and then try to figure out a way to break up the contact sheet into individual thumbnails?
Each contact sheet is made from a video file. Each sheet contains stills from a video file, one pic for every five seconds.
I am just trying to come up with a way to log all the visuals in a group of 81 video files. I'd like to be able to search for, say, all of the pictures of a building, or the sky, or a teakettle, or someone hugging, or the guy named Dom, and so on.

Bridge Contact Sheet Doesn't Support JPEGs?

I have a group of JPEGs that I would like to output to a contact sheet. In CS3 this was not a problem, now in CS4, some of the images will work, others don't. I'm wondered if this a color profile conflict, I've been messing around with that lately. However, sometimes an image will work one time, then it won't. That leads me to believe it's a bug.

Open up image in PS and click on image/mode and see if there is a pattern of those that don't work and those that do. Check for color and 8 bit or 16 bit.
If it was a bug there would be a lot more complaints, so llikely something simple.

Does anyone know how I turn negatives into a positive on Aperture please? I have scanned a bunch of negs and want ot make a contact sheet. Would really appreciate some clues on where to start. Thanks

Yeah, it's simple. You scan your images singly, then import them. Then, one by one adjust them. Under the adjustment brick, pull up the CURVES tool. It is one of dozens available from the pulldown menu on the left side.
So, with your image in view, you click on the adjustment tool, select CURVES (which will be at the bottom of a few other adjustment sliders such as EXPOSURE) under the Histogram and then grab the bottom of the right hand curve and swing it all the way to the left. Then grab the left hand curve and drag it all the way to the right.
The right curve represents highlights. The left curve represents shadows. Now the two are reversed. Your negative is now a positive. For added control, you can create mid-tone curves of your own and make finer adjustments. I haven't done this much so the experts might weigh in here with corrections and added advice.

Convert a Contact Sheet (.pdf form) to jpeg?

I created a contact sheet on Adobe Bridge CS5. I want to save it as jpeg format, but it will only allow me to save it in pdf format. How can I change it to JPG...if it is at all possible?

You could possibly open the .PDF file in Photoshop then File - Save As a JPEG....

HT3964 When typing into forms, such as filling out a contact sheet on a website, my first few letters will not appear when i start typing. For example, if I wanted to type "explanation", i might end up with "laxation". This happens in all browsers.

If i backspace everything and start typing again in the same area, it will work properly the second time.
I am using a ~7 month old macbook air with mavericks.
Any tips to get rid of this issue would be greatly appreciated.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test will take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Contact Sheet II "Upgrade"

Could someone please explain why Adobe took a perfectly good tool, Contact Sheet II, and made it more complicated and difficult to use, takes twice as long to get a final result, and then offers an unusable, optional plug in for those of us who were perfectly satisfied before they "improved" it in CS5? Did anyone ask a user before they "upgraded" this feature?

demberadobe
I used my contact sheet II a little different. I have a psd template that I created for making jewel case thumbnail inserts. The template is 4.5x4.5", I make a contact sheet with 1 to 36 images sized to 4.5x4.5". Then, because it's a psd I simply drag and drop in onto my open template doc. I add the clients name and shoot date in a window at the top of the template. Make a print and slip it into the jewel case. Then just pitch the contact sheet and close my template without saving, so it's ready to go as a blank template for next time.
But this can no longer be done with the bridge contact sheet. I have to save the doc as a pdf, find it, open with... in CS5, select in the "crop to" drop down to "Trim box" (the default is Bounding box, so I have to change this every time I open a contact sheet) - (don't see a way to change the default). If I don't change the crop to setting, the default setting opens the pdf not at the same size it was created in bridge / contact sheet. You'd think that the default setting would open the pdf at the same size it was created???
Then I add one or more folder icons I made to indicated what is on the CD / DVD, example: a folder of e-mail jpegs, FPO's, etc.
Here is a sample of how I had used the old contact sheet II. With CS5.1 I have to jump thru several more hoops / steps to achieve the same thing.

Why did Adobe get rid of making nice neat PDF contact sheets directly in Bridge??

I know there is an output module, but it is not really any help! It still uses photoshop to create multiple seperate PSD files and takes forever! It is VERY important at my job to make contact sheets, we need them to go through hundreds of pictures. Why can't you just bring back making it straight in Bridge? It was so much faster and convenient. I cannot afford to wait while Photoshop generates 50 pages of 8 thumbnails for me as it ties up my computer, not to mention the steps to convert those files into one nice pdf. It is incredibly frustrating! Just makes no sense Adobe would do this??

I know there is an output module, but it is not really any help! It still uses photoshop to create multiple seperate PSD files and takes forever!
Not sure I understand your problem but I guess you have Bridge CC and now you don't have the option to use the Adobe Output Module? The output module you are talking about is the old contact sheet script that indeed produces loose sheets (PSD, but also jpeg) and can take a while depending on your settings.
But you still have the option to install the Output Module for Bridge CC again, but you have to do it yourself, it can be downloaded via this link but you should first read the instructions carefully because it needs some attention. With the Output module you can use Bridge again to create PDF documents with many pages and custom lay out.:

Printing 20x30 Contact Sheet Poster

I'm trying to print a 20x30 contact sheet poster containing 98 images. I have a 300 dpi TIFF file imported into iPhoto 5 that comes in at 155 MB (6000x9000 dpi). However, when I try to order a 20x30 print from iPhoto, the dialog box tells me it's transferring a 10 MB file, nothing close to the 155 MB original. What am I doing wrong? I haven't let the order proceed yet because I'm sure a 10 MB file at poster size will look terrible.
Thanks in advance. SJG.

L,
Saving the TIFF file as a (minimum compression) JPEG reduces the filesize from 155 to about 40 MB. I can import this into iPhoto. But still, when I try to send the photo to iPhoto for printing it tells me it's transferring a 10 MB file. Is it converting the JPEG again to a higher compression version?
I've tried going to Kodak directly but for some reason when I try to upload my photo, Safari presents me with a blank page. So I'm stuck again.
I don't use an applet for making the poster. Is there one about? And yes, that should be 6000x9000 pixels. Sorry.
Thanks in advance. SJG.

How to produce an image Contact Sheet by way of AppleScript

I have found that the PDF contact sheet action in Automator doesn’t allow for labeling the images (with file name and/or creation date etc).
So, I thought I may try may hand at doing this by way of AppleScript.
Does anyone know whether AppleScript (or any application supplied with Mac OS X) is capable of doing this?
I can see how to get the images and scale them down, as well as find their names and/or creation dates, but I’m not really sure how to print them to a multi page pdf.

Contact sheet: where to set size & can I print with another software?

Using contact sheet for first time. nice! Blows away Photoshop just as the LR web galleries blow away all others.
Question: I cannot find where to set the print size, I want to do 11x14
Also can I save the file and print from Imageprint?
The help page online talked about templates. I don't see them. Thank You.

Thanks ... tried the Paper Handling, but no lock.
Based on the fact that any scaling, "moves" the image down and to the left on the paper ...
Th only "work around" solution is to ...
Rotate the PDF page 180, then scale slightly (90% or so ...)
This pushes the upside down page, down and to the left.
While this is the opposite of what is desired, the print is then correct when
it is punched and placed into a three ring binder.
Assumption is the application that creates the documnt, needs to have the paper margins set. The reality is, an application like Preview, that does not "create anything", needs to handle existing documents PDF, JPEG and print to Custom Page configurations.
ie: In Preview, Custom Page does not work correctly,
Thanks allfor the comments and help ...
