Customized contact sheets from manual sorted iPhoto 7.0.2 albums.

I manually sorted photos in my iPhoto '08 album and want to print contact sheets showing the photos in this sorted order. Everything is working fine choosing the preselected contact sheet with 3 rows and 4 lines i. e. 12 pictures on each page. But when trying to customize the preselected contact sheet (for I want 4 rows and 5 lines) the manual sorting is gone and instead the pictures are sorted otherwise (by name I guess). Does anyone has any idea to solve the problem?
(I use Tiger 10.4.10, Mac Pro QuadCore, iPhoto 7.0.2)

Gunther:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you tried dragging the photos in the contact sheet customize window to arrange them as you want? It works that way for me.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Printing contact sheet from iPhoto

    How can I print a contact sheet from iPhoto that retains the order of photos in my album?
    I've placed the photos of which I want to make a contact sheet in their own album.  I've organized them according to how I'd like them to print.  However, when I go to print/contact sheet/custom to set the number of images per page and hit the print button, the photos are reorganized according the the main photo folder into which the images were originally imported - that is to say, by date order.

    My printer does support landscape and portrait printing. It is the latest version of iPhoto 9.5.3 that only offers a minimal choice of printer, paper size and paper type. There are no formatting options available other than "Fit, Fill, Custom, 20x25cm, 13x18cm, 10x15cm and contact sheet". Another example of Appple degrading software to make it iOS compatible!
    Perhaps Apple should be reading what their customers are complaining about and do something to restore the quality of their downgraded software.

  • Unable to print Contact Sheets from iPhoto

    Hi there,
    Since installing Lion 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro I no longer get the option to print Contact Sheets from iPhoto. I'm running quite an old version of it I think (Version 6.0.6), however this was no problem before the upgrade.
    Can anyone suggest a solution for this?
    Thanks in advance.

    I just fired up my iPhoto 6.0.6 under Mt. Lion and I have no contact option in that version either.  You'll have to upgrade to at least iPhoto 7 (08) in order to get contact sheets back.  So you might as well upgrade to the latest iPhoto from the App Store.
    If you also want the latest versions of iWeb and iDVD (which have been discontinued by Apple) you'll have to purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disc from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11.

  • Program error when Making Contact Sheet from Bridge

    I had been making contact sheet from the bridge using CS3 with no problem till a week ago when after completing the contact sheet, I get an error message saying that there was a program error, and photoshop locks up. I have to force quit. I am using a G5 dual 2.5 and 2 Gigs of RAM. I tried reinstalling without any luck.
    Any ideas?

    Does it work in a new User Account?
    Have you tried cleaning-out your Caches (use Cocktail); or trashing Prefs.?

  • 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.

  • Can I print contact sheets from Iphoto or aperture with file names?

    I can not figure out nor am I sure it can be done with these programs but if someone out there can tell me how I would be very happy. I have several jobs I need contacts on I have been printing contact sheets and then handwriting the file numbers. To old fashion for me. HELP

    1. In the browser pane in Aperture, select the images you need.
    2. File>Print...
    3. On the left-hand side of the print dialog, click on 'Sample Contact Sheet Preset'.
    4. In the layout options there is a drop-down menu for which metadata set you want to show below the images. You may get away with using 'Name Only' which gives you the current Version Name, otherwise you may have to make a new metadata set* containing just the filename.

    * Making new metadata sets has been covered several times on the forum, the search function is your friend.

  • Can Bridge output a contact sheet from nested folders?

    Can Bridge create a contact sheet of all images I have in a series of nested folders? Seems like there's a simple option missing to 'include all subfolders' option so I can maintain my folder structure for my file organization, but be able to get a grid of thumbnails of everything together... or consequently be able to create a contact sheet folder by folder automagically where each folder represents a new page in the pdf, allowing the option to insert the folder name as part of the header....
    anyone have suggestions? Am I missing something here....?

    or consequently be able to create a contact sheet folder by folder automagically where each folder represents a new page in the pdf, allowing the option to insert the folder name as part of the header....
    Each folder a new page can only be done manual or maybe if you could use ore write a very complicated script for this. You have to specify the columns and rows and therefore the amount of photo's on one sheet.
    As Curt pointed you already to the 'flat view' option this is to get all content of one main folder (but according to content amount and Output settings this may mean a lot of pages...
    You have two other options:
    1- Select each folder and create a contact sheet while giving it a proper name. When finished combine all the PDF files in to one large PDF file. You can do so in Acrobat Pro but if you Google on 'merge PDF in one File' there will be a lot of other free options to do so.
    2- Use a proper batch rename for the files to make each name unique. If you already have done so you could choose to add a number in front of the name to keep the natural sort order in the folder. You can use Batch rename for this under the menu tool and choose the option you like. Be aware that this renaming can't be undone in an easy way so if you want it just for this occasion first make a back up and then rename the files.

  • IPhoto manual sort, not in events or albums.

    I'm running Mavericks on MBP, I would like to manually sort my photos in iPhoto in order uploaded. Not in events, in photo view where you can see all your photos. I do not want to organize an album. I cannot drag and drop photos in order. Manual sort is grayed out, I cannot change this. Past answers to this question suggest if start manually moving things then the option will become available. I cannot manually move anything, it just won't respond. Help please.

    You can't do what you want. The Library (whether in Events or Photos view) cannot be sorted manually. If you want to use manual sorting you must use Albums.

  • Contact Sheets from Multiple Folders: Can it be done?

    CS3 Photoshop had a function under Automate, that allowed you to make contact sheets of images within a specific folder and include subfolders within that.
    Im not seeing that in CS4.
    Im not seeing it in Bridge CS4 either.
    Is it still possible?
    And how if it is?

    This was discussed in a thread just a few threads down from yours:

  • Contact sheet background color options iPhoto 9.10.1

    I just upgraded to OS 10.9.1 and I can't figure out how to choose a black background when printing a contact sheet.  In the older version I could select contact sheet and then from the print option at the bottom I could pick a background color, enabling me to print a contact sheet with a black backgound instead of white. Has that option been discarded in OS 10.9.1?

    Has that option been discarded in OS 10.9.1?
    Yes.  Possibly Apple considered offering a black background to be too wastefull of ink., or not.

  • Can I print a contact sheet from Bridge?

    Does anyone know how I print a contact sheeet in Bridge?

    You can't use Bridge for printing at all, it has no option for it. You can create a PDF contact sheet in Bridge using the Output Module (separate download in Bridge CC) but this PDF needs to be opened in another application like Acrobat, Pro, Acrobat Reader or other that can manage PDF to give a print command.

  • Multiple contact sheet from multiple image folders

    Hi everybody,
    I have a folder with 120 subfoders with 30 images each, 
    is there a "automatic way" to make a  contact sheet of every subfolder: 120 contact sheet of 30 images in this case? 
    i need help

    Hi GKaiseril, thanks for reply.
    Yes, I use Bridge to do that, but I need to automate the process.
    Know a script with which you can select a folder and make a contact sheet different for each subfolder containing? Preferably for Bridge or Photoshop.
    Best regards.

  • Printing a contact sheet from multiple saved pdf drawings

    How can I print a gridded contact sheet of several drawings I have saved as PDF's?  They are all in separate files but I need to present on one sheet of paper.  Seems like this would be easy but I can't figure it out.....

    I would post to the Photoshop Elements Forum, as it has several features that are either not in Photoshop, or work differently. Folk in that forum will know exactly what you will need to do.
    Good luck,
