Iphoto contact sheet

Is it possible to print a contact sheet which includes the "comments" found with the photo information?

Yes. Instead of Print, Contact Sheet use Share, Export, Web Page. .The "contact sheet" will be the thumbnails so be sure to select the Show title and Show comment boxes. Create a webpage, open it in your browser and print from there.

How to include movie poster frames in iphoto contact sheet?

I cant see how to include movies in contact sheet. Is it possible? I'm using iphoto v8.0.2.

I suppose Old Toad's solution will work. However, this will change the dates on the originals and I don't think that is desireable in general.
I think there is a bug in the printing of contact sheets. If one selects all photos in an album that has been re-orded manually and then starts the print sequence, the initial sheet with 3 columns is ordered correctly. But, as soon as you try to change the number of columns the ordered reverts to date order of the originals.
Am I missing something or is this really a bug? If it is, how do I report it?

Iphoto Contact Sheet seems to not be WISYWIG

Hi,
From iPhoto I am trying to print a contact sheet which is set 3 columns wide.
All seems file when in iPhoto. I can set the photos I want, and remove the titles. Everything seems fine.
However the A4 sheet I have in my iPhoto Print project gets reduced when I print it. The effect is to have the photos on a much reduced scale in the middle of the page.
If I print to PDF then I get the same effect.
My printer is a Cannon iP4500 but I don't think it is at fault.
Any help gratefully appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I just tried a contact sheet on A4 and saving to pdf. It appears correct. Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and try again.
If that doesn't fix the situation, check the preset you're using, if any to make sure none of the advanced printer settings in Paper Handling might be set to reduce the size of what's printed. There's one setting, scale to fit paper that you might check. It will scale up the layout to fill the page the best possible.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Iphoto contact sheet - how to increase text size

How to increase the text size on my contact sheet? Currently it is too small to read

The only way to change the text size is to reduce the number of columns for the contact sheet and then it's not a lot different.

Is it possible to change the number of rows while printing a contact sheet in Iphoto? Please help

Hi guys, I am struggling to find out how to change the number of rows on a contact sheet on Iphoto , i have selected my photos and i want it to print 6 photos on each page however I am not able to do it. Please help me out, im a Art student and i need to submit my contact sheets for an assignment Thanks in advance guys !!!!!

I don't think you can do that with the Contact Sheet layout. If you have Pages or a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can do what you want. Or try the demo version of OmniGraffle for Mac It will run fully operational for 14 days.

Does anyone know if there is a way to customize a contact sheet in iPhoto 9.5?

The older version allowed moving of images as well as choosing which images to use in a contact sheet. I was using this feature to email PDF sheets of work photos to clients. Now, if I try to print the pre-arranged contact sheet to PDF the images so very large, and impossible to email. Any help/thoughts would be appreciated.

I fixed this myself. Deleted Iphoto 9.5 and restored 9.4.3 from Time Machine. All is good.

How on Earth do you Print Contact Sheet in Landscape Orientation in the new iPhoto?

Just upgraded to Maverick and new iPhoto and boy am I sorry. In the last version of of iPhoto it was really difficult to print 4 to a page contact sheets from iPhoto in landscape mode. Why would you want to print in any othe mode when most photos are taken in landscape?
Pleae help as I have to print these photos ASAP for a client.

First set the page size to letter- borderless. Next after selecting the Contact theme click on the Print Settings button and reset the page size to 11 wide and 8.5 high.
Finally set the columns to 2 which will give you this:
To test it without having to print each time use the PDF ➙ Save as PDF menu option. If all looks good you can print from the PDF file.
There's no provision for adding a title at the top of the page. However, create a TextEdit, Word, Pages, etc., document, put the title at the top and print over the printed contact sheet.

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.

IPhoto freezes when asked to print contact sheet.

iPhoto had been working fine (well, as fine as iPhoto can be expected to work ) including printing off contact sheets, until it just stopped being able to do the latter.
It got stuck on the 'processing page 1' loading bar, and then what I assumed to be an error message appeared, except that I couldn't read it because it was so frozen that all the text was garbled. Then it printed out the second and last page of the contacts fine but the first page appeared extremely faded - to the point that the images weren't actually discernible.
Have repeated this process 3 or 4 times to see if it worked but with the same result each time. Only force quit enables me to exit. Recently purged my iPhoto of 99% of its content in the hope it would speed up, so I can't imagine it has anything to do with that.
I hate iPhoto. That aside, can anyone help?
Thanks

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.
3 - try the contact sheet again.
Are you able to Save as PDF in the Print window and what does the PDF look like if you do.

Can't print contact sheet in iPhoto 11

iPhoto 11 9.4.3: OS 10.8.5; iMac mid 2011; Epson WP-4020 printer. All of a sudden, I cannot print a contact sheet from iPhoto. Had no problem doing so before. I now get error message from printer "Paper out, incorrect loading, or paper jam," none of which apply. No problem printing individual photos or anything else. Other posts have indicated a problem with a theme not being selected and to select one after clicking on a theme button. I cannot find the theme button to check this out. Where is this button and would this solve my problem?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.

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.

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?

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.

Can I print a landscape contact sheet in iPhoto

I am unable to print a landscape contact sheet in iPhoto (latest upgrade, Maverick OS). I can get an image to switch to landscape when switching through the options, but this often results on cutting off the image (the only option iPhoto offers is to move the image or make it bigger, which cuts it off even more). I can't find any print settings as suggested in previous questions and answers and when I click print, there are no other options for me to change it. I have included screenshot for reference

That's right. We haven't been able to do a Print Setup since iPhoto 8 (09). Whether the image is oriented landscape or not is built into iPhoto for single photo printing but for the contact sheet we've only got portrait orientation.
You can report this deficiency in iPhoto to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html in hopes they will incorporate that feature in the new Photos app that will be released sometime this spring.
