Contact Sheets (Passport Photo's)

Hi,
I have a picture I would like to print on a contact sheet.
When I select the picture, and choose contact sheet, Aperture kindly creates a contact sheet preview of all the pictures in my project - Not what I want.
I'd like to print off the same picture as a passport kind of photo, like 16 copies on a single A4 sheet.
I'm sure Apple would make this simple, but I can't figure it out.
PLEASE HELP!!
Gav

Actually you need to do this using the book tool inside Aperture by creating a custom page layout and printing it. - your best bet would be using one of a thousand tools to create multiple layouts on a single sheet from the same image - there are hundreds of things that do this.

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!

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

Contact sheet rearranges photos

The default contact sheet setup lays out the 30-photo album onto 4 pages. I customize, and work the slider to shrink the photo size, so that all of the thumbs are on one page. At the same time that it makes them smaller, it reshuffles the photo sequence. I tried the drop-down menu for "arrange by", thinking the answer lies somewhere there. But I could not find the answer there. I must be missing something. How can i preserve the the photo order that is in the album? Running iPhoto11 in mountain lion. thank you.

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:

Sorting Photos for Contact sheets

Hello all,
My family just wants a basic photo archive using a contact sheet style. I can create a contact sheet style in the print options. That part is fine but the problem I'm having is that when I try to print the photos as a contact sheet, all the photo gets all unsorted even though the photos are all sorted by name in the iPhoto albums or events. How do i correct this so that when print the albums as a contact sheet the photo will stay sorted by name.
Thanks
p.s. I couldn't get this to work in iPhoto '09 and I have recently upgraded to iphoto '11 and the same problem still exists.

Contact sheets are only sorted by date. So if you need to print a contact sheet sorted by name put the photos in an album and sort by name. Then select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option. Use any date and add a couple of seconds between each photo. Don't modify the original file.
Now when you go to print the contact sheet it will be sorted by date with will be the same as your sort by title.

Contact sheets soft and banding

When I print contact sheets the photos look a little soft and some have banding. The images look great when printed full size alone. Is there something I can do to get better quality images in the contact sheet? Do they not look good because they are using the preview jpeg to make the prints rather then the high res file. My current contact sheet size is 2 across and 3 down on a letter size sheet.
Thanks

Contact Sheet Titles

I am trying to print out a Contact Sheet of photos of jewelry to make a sample sheet using iPhoto 4.0.1. It would be most understandable if the name of each photo (the name given to the file) were to print alongside each small image in the contact sheet. My old Epson software (OS9) used to be able to make a contact sheet and you could choose to print Date, Title, File Size, etc.
Can iPhoto add the file name to ech image on a contact sheet?
If not, is there a workaround?
Marc

Marc:
You're in the iPhoto 6 forum but I'll try to answer your question. You can't in iPhoto but there are a couple of workarounds.
One is to create a book with the Yearbook theme. Then put your pictures in one of the pages that have the number of photos per page that you want, up. up to 32 per page. It will automatically enter the file name under each picture. Do a Print to PDF of the book, open it with Preview and print just the page(s) you want. The downside to this method is that you only get landscape orientation for the page.
The other way is to use Galerie to create a web gallery of the pictures. It will let you include the file name under the pictures. You can set the number of photos per row and rows per page. Then open the gallery (just the index page) in Safari and print from there.

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

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.

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..."

Manual photo placement contact sheet

Using iPhoto, I am trying to print a contact sheet with the photos in a specific order.
I have them in an album and I arranged them as I want them printed. Upon printing to PDF, the images scramble.
I have tried, but without success, the following:
Tried setting the sort to "manual"
Tried "batch changing" the dates and re-dated them sequentially by one minute and then clicked "sort by date".
Tried changing the file name and clicked "sort by file name".
Have spent hours trying to fix this. At my wits end!
My goal is to print 5 contact sheets with comparable photos in identical locations. Specifically, each contact sheet depicts a house on the market. There are 5 houses = 5 contact sheets. The upper left corner picture on every contact sheet is the house's front exterior. The upper right picture is that house's kitchen and so on....so that we can lay out all the printed contact sheets and compare quickly.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Banana

Use a word processor like Pages to do this.
