Contact Sheet II missing from menu (CS4)

Hello,
I have CS4 and in Photoshop automate menu Contact Sheet II is not listed. It's also not listed in Bridge under Tools>Photoshop.
I've seen discussions on here for the entire automate section to be missing in Photoshop and the whole photoshop section missing in Bridge, but nothing on a single menu item missing.
I know it's supposed to be there in CS4, A) because I've used it before (on another machine), and B) Adobe Photoshop CS4 * Create a contact sheet. It's driving me nuts!

Ohhh, turns out you have to install plugins for them (Adobe Photoshop CS4 * Optional plug-ins, also on the 3rd disc "Content").

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?

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.

Bridge to InDesign Contact Sheet - Define Caption Code for name?

Hello,
Another beginners question, but I promise after this I'm done:
I'm using a script written for Bridge CS4 to create contact sheets in InDesign v 5.03.
When the dialog window opens in Bridge to set the parameters for outputting the contact sheet, one of the option is to give the items on the contact sheet a caption - for this it offers some suggested codes.
To add the filename as the caption, the code is <var filename>. This gives me the file name plus extension i.e. image1.jpg.
Creation date is another, code is: <var cdate[YYMMDD]>
I would like the caption to just be the filename without the .jpg extension, i.e. image1
Does anyone know what the code would be to give the script the instruction to leave off the extension, please?
Many thanks in advance.

Oh, you're my hero, Bob!!
I didn't know about Find/Replace - told you I was a novice.
What you've taught me today will save me soooooooo much time!
Cheers!

Applescript create contact sheet Error

Hi all,
I'm using Applescript to filter my images and create a contact sheet from those filtered images. Now I'm stuck at creating the contact sheet. The error I get is:
error "Can’t get list of {alias \"Macintosh HD:Users:stopar:Desktop:sorted:OA0001-1.jpg\", alias \"Macintosh HD:Users:stopar:Desktop:sorted:OA0002-1.jpg\"....
My script looks like this:
tell application "Finder"
set sourceFolder to choose folder -- temporary testing by selecting a folder. File filter script will be placed here
set filesList to (files of entire contents of sourceFolder) as alias list
end tell
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS4"
activate
create contact sheet from files list of filesList
end tell

It looks at first glance that you are asking for a list twice… This worked for me… Just tested with a bunch of TIFFs. Put a basic filter in there too.
tell application "Finder"
set sourceFolder to choose folder
set filesList to (files of entire contents of sourceFolder whose file type is "TIFF") as alias list
end tell
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
activate
create contact sheet from files filesList
end tell
and as if by magik Im back to the other me… again…

Contact sheet plug-in

I have downloaded Contact Sheet, how do I install please?

My CS version is CS5. I had downloaded the plug-in readme and I think I can now see that is similar to the way of updating a new RAW file which I have done before, thanks for your interest.

Contact Sheet Option Missing

Can anyone think of a reason why neither my Photoshop CS4 nor my Bridge CS4 has the Contact Sheet option under Automate (PS) or Tools (Bridge).
I'm using an Intel MacBook.
The option on my IMac G5.

…Contact Sheet II is in "File/Automate" in CS4
Only if you installed it there yourself as per the link provided. It's no longer part of the default CS4 installation, but comes separately:

Title information on contact sheets, output to JPG in Bridge CS4

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't seem to find a place to add an overall Project Title and other general information in the contact sheet for Bridge CS4. There are the two overlays you can add for filename and extension, but that's it (and those aren't customizable). The watermark option puts text in the center of the page, and I'd prefer it in an upper corner instead, with the option for multiple lines.
Also, are the only 2 output options PDF and web gallery? I'd prefer JPG.

First, for jpeg you will have to use the old Contact sheet script for CS3.
If you want so you can copy this script to the CS4 (I even believe it is in
the goodie map that is on your installation disk for CS4.)
But to be honest, my first reaction in missing jpegs was the same but after
some experience with AOM contact sheets as PDF I really started to love them
It sounds you have not update Adobe Output Module, if using the latest
version you will have a Header and Footer section where you can add a title
and page number.
For the placement options of the watermark you should file a feature request
(main Bridge forum page at the right side column under section 'links'
Check this link for an update for AOM.

Hope the links works otherwise search the adobe site for update Output
Module Mac and you will get there.
Maybe I'm missing something,

CS4 what happened to Contact Sheet II under Automate?

Just installed CS4 and was checking to make sure all the things I use on a regular basis is there. It seems that the Contact Sheet II has been removed. I found it up here on the download extra plug-in page but still didn't show up when I downloaded the plug-in. Thought I installed them correctly, but maybe not. Need this badly, use it for printing out thumbnails of all photo shoots. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks, Linda

Hmmm, I didn't know the Output in Bridge was there. Need to check that out. Thanks guys for the heads up on that. If that doesn't work out I'll try to figure out how to install the contact sheet. Or, I could just leave CS3 on the computer and run the contact sheets in there. That might be the easiest solution for now at least until I get Output figured out.
Thanks guys
I have another question about Bridge. I was trying to change the file extensions from psd to jpg on numerous images in Batch Rename and couldn't get it to work. I tried this in CS3 alsoto no avail. When I attempted it in CS3 the images would not show up in Bridge or open in Photoshop. All that showed was a windows icon and I got a "won't open because of program error" when I tried to open them. Now in CS4 I'm getting the thumbnails of the changed files in bridge, but still getting a won't open message in Photoshop when I try to open one. Will this work or am I doing something wrong?

Hayley

You would normally make Contact Sheets in CS4 using Bridge's Output Panel; but if you want the old CS3-style Contact Sheets, you can download the necessary files from here:

Cs4 contact sheet

I'm working in Windows 8 with Photoshop CS4. I've copied it to the locations, per the instructions. I did it on my previous computer. I've gotten the extract filter to work, but I can't get the contact sheet to show up in automate. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

This is what you downloaded?

You put the 32 bit plugins in the 32 bit version of cs4 and the 64 bit plugins in the 64 bit version of cs4?
There are separate folders in the downloaded for both 32 and 64 bit plugins and if you have a 64 bit version of windows 8, you
should have both the 32 and 64 bit versions of photoshop cs4 installed.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (32 bit version photoshop cs4)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 bit version photoshop cs4)

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?
mark

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:

Contact sheets in Bridge CS4

I have been unable to make contact sheets in Adobe Bridge CS4. When I click on OUTPUT the field is empty. With Bridge CS3 this field had the refresh button and allowed customized contact sheets. What have I done wrong and how can I fix the problem? Thank you.

I think contact sheet was eliminated in CS4 and 5 and brought back in 6. Might have to load it as plugin, might have been in accessory part of your install disk, or can find it on web.
