Image Dimensions Overlay on Contact Sheet

When exporting contact sheets from Bridge, I'm able to activate a text overlay that dispalys the file name under each thumbnail. I'd love to be able to set up a contact sheet that also overlayed the print dimensions of the image in inches. So for example, if an image is 5"x7.25", it would display that under the thumbnail of the exported contact sheet. Is there any way this can be done? I've been checking out a variety of different contact sheet options with various software and haven't found a way to do this yet.

I don't think it would know.  Image size is a function of pixel dimension and resolution.

  • How to create a Contact Sheet with Adobe Photoshop CS5 from a disc with images in different folders

    I got a disc with images files (mainly ai and psd files) in different folders and subfolders, how can I create a contact sheet including all the image files in different folders. (It seems that Adobe Bridge can only create a contact sheet by clicking the image files directly but not a folder including the images files)
    thx!

    Use the optional Contact Sheet II plugin which is found in Adobe's Downloads:
    1) search for contact sheet in PS CS5 help
    2) choose the first result and read carefully about the Photoshop Optional Plug-In Picture Packager
    3) follow the instructions to download the zip file and note the location that you download it to.
    4) follow the instructions to install the files.
    I'm not sure how PS CS5 will handle ai vector image files or if you have to batch convert them to raster images first before using Contact Sheet II.  Contact Sheet II allows you to choose a folder and Include All SubFolders as an option so you could create a Contact Sheet folder and copy all of your desired folders into that folder which will become subfolders of the main folder you choose for your contact sheet.

  • Lightroom 4 contact sheet print crashes with over 12 images - Please help.

    Lightroom 4 consistently crashes every time I attempt to print a contact sheet containing over 12 images. Any less and the task is completed without error, any more and it inevitably crashes. Any thoughts?
    My workaround has been to export the images and create large contact sheets in Photoshop CS6, but this takes twice as long.
    This is a daily task and is significantly disrupting my workflow. Please help.
    Regards,
    Eliot

    So, I had this problem tonight after experiencing no problems with Lightroom 4 previously. I noticed that in the print dialog box, where you can select to print "all" the pages or a page range, the page range radial was highlighted and the defined page range was "7" to "7". I was only printing one image so I changed the print range to "1" to "1". And it did the trick. Crazy, eh?

  • Problem building contact sheets in bridge

    I am trying to build contact sheets with Bridge in CS5. The feature works great except if you have an odd number of images, the last of the images are built into the contact sheet at a much larger size and not kept proportional to the first images in the contact sheets ie: if you are building 8x11 contact sheets with 18 images and you want 8 images per sheet, the first two sheets are great and the last sheet with the final 2 images have the images at a much larger size relative to the first 16 images. Is there a way to have bridge maintain the correct image proportion on all contact sheets short of creating "dummy" images that divide by 8 for instance giving you an equal number?

    Here is a copy of my screen as I use it. Please note that I also changed my settings to the same as you show
    in your screenshot with no success. I am thinking there must be something maybe in my preferances that might
    need to be changed.

  • 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…

  • Putting Text with Contact Sheet in CS4

    Hello,
    I have read numerous posts, I have seen an online tutorial, in terms of how the Contact Sheet feature was moved in CS 4.....I did manage to find it, however, I do find myself with a question...
    I am submitting images to a magazine Photo Editor, and they require a contact sheet to be submitted along with the images. On the contact sheet they want the FILE NAME, and also the Species Name (I am shooting wildlife), and also a quick mention of the geographic area in the US where it was shot.....
    As I said, I found the Contact Sheet part in CS4, and I see where I can list an overall Header or Footer on the overall Contact sheet page, but I do not
    see anywhere (I apologize ahead of time if I am overlooking this in some obvious place), I do not see anywhere, where, I can go to the individual images, and, in addition to the File names, put the kind of text information that I just mentioned above.
    Way back in CS3, the Contact sheet function actually generated a Layered PS File, with the images and the text for the images, as separate layers, and you could actually go in and type custom text into the Text portion below the image, but that does not seem to be the case at all in CS4.
    Surely this is doable somehow for me to add custom text to the images on my Contact sheet, beyond merely the file names? If not in Photoshop, is anyone aware of any 3rd party Contact Sheet software that will allow me to do this? This is a national publication that puts out about 40 magazines, so I cannot be the first to run into this problem.
    Any help you can give me ( in terms of a detailed explanation of how to do this) would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks to all, and have a great day!

    I haven't used it myself but you could check out

  • Aperture 3 Contact Sheet Caption Bug ?

    Hi, has anyone figured out a way to keep the relationship between metadata captions and the images consistent when compiling contact sheets. I am finding that if there is a mixture of landscape and portrait images, then the caption will not adjust to appear below the portrait images but simply print inside the image. Also, all the captions change their relative positions when you change the column/row configuration. Is this a bug and if so, does anyone know how to report it to Apple.

    Hi there
    Seems like it is a bug - if so you can report it to Apple by choosing Provide Aperture Trial Feedback from the Aperture menu within the program.
    Printing seems to be the main thing from prevent AP3 from being useful to me currently, inability to make presets 'stick', border printing around an image even when no border is selected. There's probably more problems in printing but I'm kind of disheartened to use it to find any more, it's cost me a lot of wasted time already.
    Take care

    Hi,
    You can also try asking here if no one replies to this post (Bridge Windows forum):

    I don't have enough experience with the Bridge Output Module options to suggest anything, sorry. If you post in the Bridge forum and don't get any replies in a week, ping back here and I'll see if I can get some answers for you.

  • Cropped contact sheets

    hi everybody,
    I wonder if there's a way to do this...
    I have a LOT of images - aquired at successive times by a microscope.
    I need to produce a contact sheet with the most relevant ones, and I did it by Bridge using the ContactSheet tool.
    But, since the important information in each image is located in a small area imaged by microscope, I'd like to produce a similar contact sheet with  just that area cropped on each image.
    There's a way to do it???
    thanks!
    alessandro

    You might be able to do this with ContactSheetX. It has a 'Post-Processing Action/Script' setting that is run when each sheet is finished. If you have the sheet constructed to use SmartObjects for the thumbnails, you could write a script that loops through the thumbnail layers and resizes/crops the thumbnails with no loss of image quality.
    But I would go with the recommendation that you pre-process the images so that your contact sheet has the pre-cropped images.

  • Create contact sheet based on source image dimensions?

    I have some video stills that need to be laid out in a contact sheet / storyboard. I don't care about the dpi, the paper size etc. None of that matters to me because this is simply for viewing on screen. I just need a contact sheet with these frames laid out 4 collumns x 3 rows, and I need the frames full rez, and I don't want any gaps or borders. In other words, if I have 12 frames, and each frame is 720x540 pixels... I want Bridge to spit out a file 2880x1620px with my frames laid out without any gaps/seams. Can Bridge do this? I haven't figured out how.
    thanks

    I would like to create a contact sheet of the pages. Can I?
    Bridge Output Module creates a multipage PDF with options to choose on size, orientation and amount of files per page but can't read all pages separately, it only uses the first page of a PDF.
    You can however extract the pages in PS itself. Open the PDF file using right mouse click in Bridge and choose Open With; Photoshop.
    Then you will see an option window with small thumbs of each pages. Select all the thumbs and set the options as you wish. Then hit Open and you have all the pages as separate files. Use Save as (or create an action to batch save the files if it are many) and then open the folder with the new files in Bridge. Now you can use the option for more files per page in the Output Module.
    Or use the Contactsheet II script that has returned in CS6 and choose to use the open files.

  • OUTPUT - Contact Sheets - To Include Metadata & Dimensions

    1.) I would LOVE to see the InDesign Contact sheets re-integrated. I think it was a very useful tool for design houses when creating low-resolution comps for clients.
    2.) For the .pdf contact sheets that you can currently output, I would like to have metadata options in addition to including the file name. More specifically, I would like to include Dimensions in inches and Dimensions in millimeters.
    3.) I would also like to create custom templates for these contact sheets. That way, I could include my company's branding and proofs could be automated.
    If there are any plug-ins for this available now, I would LOVE to know. Anybody?

    Data driven layouts in InDesign. Look it up in the help how to create placeholders for images and dynamically replace them using certain criteria.

  • Image sequence for contact sheets in Bridge CS4

    I have been used to Contact Sheet in Photoshop but am now trying the Output option in Bridge. How can I change the order the photos appear on the sheet? Most are landscape format but a few are portrait and I would like to have the portrait format images all together and I don't see a way to effect what photos go where on the sheet. Is there a way? I also could only see the first of the two contact sheets. I'm sure there is an obvious way to review all but I haven't discovered how.
    Thanks.

    The preview in Bridge is limited to conserve resources. To see the whole thing, save the file and look at it.
    You can always quickly redo it if you want to make changes.
    Drag the thumbnails in the content pane to change the order.

  • CS4 Bridge - Image and Contact Sheet Problems (Windoze)

    Problem #1: Out of shear chance, the first directory that I picked on that contains press images, resulted in Bridge not displaying thumbnails, or even being able to work with the image, because Bridge declares that the JPEG file is not a JPEG image. But, here is the kicker, when creating the thumbnails, it does briefly display a thumbnail before replacing it with the JPEG icon. There is nothing wrong with the images as Photoshop CS4 has no problem working with the same images. Double-clicking on the JPEG icon in Bridge results is it calling Photoshop to display the image. Lastly the images were created with Photoshop CS3 on a MAC, as indicated in the EXIF data. I haven't tracked down a pattern yet, as I just installed the software last night. Even so, there is no way that Bridge should have trouble reading CS3 produced JPEG images, but it does.
    Problem #2: With the old contact sheet method, one could tell the plugin to include all sub-directories. I can't find a way to get Bridge to do the same thing. If it is there, it certainly is not user friendly. There was nothing online, or in the manual, about how to do that. While I like the idea of producing a PDF of the contact sheets, getting there is not so simple. I'm new to Bridge, having never having the need to use it prior to this release.
    Any help with these two problems will be appreciated.

    If Bridge can not show the thumbnail, Output workspace can not generate the PDF or web gallery for this image. Because it use the Bridge's DOM to process those images.
    For the subfolder issue, you could use the Bridge's 'Show Items from sub-folder'. You could find this option from the directly path list at the tool bar, or from Menu View->Show Items from submenu.

  • Image rotation in contact sheet

    Hi
    I've just come accross a problem when creating a contact sheet with images that were organised and rotated using Bridge.
    When creating contact sheets I like to have the thumbnails rotated the correct way up. So I deselect 'rotate for best fit' but after the process is finished I realise that the sheet has been created with the thumbnails in landscape view regardless of the images that are portrait.
    I've also tried selecting the 'rotate for best fit' but the same thing happens.
    Can anyone help me?

    Based on your post, you're using the InDesign contact sheet.
    Bridge does not rotate the image. It sets a metadata flag. Photoshop recognizes this flag, InDesign CS3 does not (I haven't tried it in CS4 yet).
    I will be writing a new version of the contact sheet script over the next few weeks.
    The features I will be adding:
    Ability to save multiple dialog settings
    Improved dialogs
    Heed rotation metadata
    Bring back the ability to include subfolders
    Regards
    Bob

  • I cannot find images for contact sheet printing.

    I have been printing hundreds of contact sheets and from time to time when I add pictures for contact sheet, I am unable to find the images I want even though they are open and in the project bin and in the same folder.  I may find two but not the other two and so on.  They all are the same size.  Thanks.

    You need to go into more detail about your problem. Perhaps you can provide screenshots of your dilemma with the software and provide more information that may help people answer your question. If not, you can always try reading the manual.
