Looking for a way to create Contact Sheets in InDesign CS5..

I am looking for an easy way to make a Contact Sheet template in InDesign CS5, I am wondering can it be done using Live Captions? What I essentially want to do is create a page with a grid, say 3 across 3 down, and be able to simply import the photos, and have the photo's name appear below it.
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Sebastian

  • Looking for a way to create/edit a newsletter online, then be able to generate a customized PDF file

    I am looking for a way to be able to customize a newsletter online, then be able to export/generate a PDF file from that newsletter.
    Basically this is for a friend that is a real estate agent, and currently she is creating the newsletters in MS Publisher. I'm hoping to find a way to be able to allow her to login to a secure area of her webpage(that part isn't a problem) but then be able to create/customize a monthly newsletter that needs to be customizable.
    For example, the August Newsletter will be 2-sided, and most of the newsletter will be the same, but she needs to be able to have a newsletter for different apartment buildings so the customers can just go to their building link/area on the webpage and be able to download that month's custom PDF file that has a portion of the main newsletter that is a table/list of properties for that specific location.  The data will be stored in a database.
    After writing the above, I can probably create a front-end to the database so she can enter everything that way, but I still need a way for her to generate the customized PDFs after she is done with that month's data.
    I was hoping Adobe had something that could be used, or am I stuck using php or Javascript and just doing this with custom scripting?
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I was hoping Adobe had something that could be used, or am I stuck using php or Javascript and just doing this with custom scripting?
    I think you will have to do the latter.  While you are thinking about writing the PDF file, don't overlook fpdf (google it)....

  • What is the easy way to create a crossword with InDesign CS5 for a interactive pdf?

    I mean I want to create a pdf magazine and i like to include a crossword. I read somewhere that one way is create a crossword with an external software and include it in the ID project but I don't know any crossword software and if I add in my ID project, I only need to export like a interactive pdf? I would like that the users can use the crossword in online version.
    Regards from Lima, Perú

    Hi.
    I'm not sure about what to you mean. But I create first the crossword with Excel, I mean to put the words in the right order and the questions and/or cue too. Then I create a table in InDesign and format some cells with black background and some borders. I upload both captures, from Excel and from InDesigne. Then with Adobe X Pro I create a form, so I can create singles inputs for the crossword.
    I hope i understand your question.
    Regards from Lima, Perú

  • Looking for a way to create a liquid stream?

    I am trying to make it look like there is a liquid move through a bunch of pipes but am having trouble finding a way to make it move on a path maybe?  I thought i have seen something about a motion path but I'm not sure that's what I'm trying to do.  Is there an effect that I could use or a way to move an effect along a specific path to make this illusion?
    Thanks.

    Foam is intended to use greyscale images. Alpha map is just another term for it. Bogiesan and the rest of us are all talking about the same thing.
    There is actually quite a bit of information here. You should read up on it. It should explain a lot.

    How do I make an Alpha path in AE -- with grey scale sides -- say, in the shape of a snake (or vein)? Or do you know of a better AE tool to create blood flows through tubes?
    Foam is a pretty good tool for creating blood flow through tubes if you're wanting to see the individual blood cells.
    There are several ways to make the shape.
    One would be to use Vegas on a mask and set the number to 1 and set the mid point opacity to half and the color to white or black.
    Another would be to create a black to white gradient ramp and use the Puppet Tool on it.

  • Creating Contact Sheets by selecting images in sub-folders

    I'm new to scripting, so not sure whether this is within the realms of possiblity, but hope that there's an expert out there up to the challenge!
    My goal is to develop a script to automate the process of creating contact sheets for each pupil of a school photoshoot.  The folder structure being used presently is:
    1st level folder:     School name (e.g. "Southbridge School")
    2nd level folders:     Class teachers name (e.g. "Smith")
    In each 2nd level folder (i.e. representing each class) there are always 3 images per child (post processed, so ready to convert to contact sheets).  The image numbers run sequentially, so the first 3 image numbers in the folder are of the 1st child, the next 3 are of the 2nd child, and so on....
    The script I'm looking for would allow me to point Photoshop to the 1st level folder and then automatically create a contact sheet for all children 'found' in the sub-folders.  To do this the script would need to do the following:
    Taking each 2nd level folder in turn, recognise each 'child' is represented by 3 consecutive images - and starting with the 1st 3 images in the folder create a contact sheet.  Then, move on to the next 3 images in sequence and create the next contact sheet, and finish after it completes the final 3 images in the folder.  Then, move on to the next 2nd level folder...
    Create each contact sheet with the 3 images in colour and then the same 3 images in black and white (so 6 images per contact sheet), including the image number under each and a copyright watermark
    Save all contact sheets generated from all of the classes all together in 1 new folder at the 2nd level called "Contact Sheets"
    Give each contact sheet a unique name in the format "<Class teachers name> - xxx"   (e.g. "Smith-1", "Smith-2" etc...)
    So, are there any Photoshop masters out there up to this challenge?!  Your help would be greatly appreciated because the learning curve on this one looks v. steep!
    Alternatively, if you can think of a better way of doing this I would also be keen to hear!
    Thanks

    Awesome! I didnt even know aperture could do that
    Now another quick question on this topic, if im using RAW files, does aperture need to convert the file to jpeg or tiff (like it does if you export version as jpeg)?
    If it does, that may be a problem as it takes forever for aperture on my macbook to convert raws and save as jpegs, like a good minute or two per photo, and if i have 200odd photos....not good, people will crack it waiting and leave.
    Or does it print as raw? Cause im pretty sure my printer (or any printer) can not print raw files. Will try it tonight on my printer but a heads up will be useful.
    I could just shoot in hi-res jpeg, but id rather shoot raw incase they want a large poster size print etc.
    Thanks.

  • Looking for a Programmer to Create A YouTube "Embed" Plug In

    Hello everyone,
    I am Looking for a Programmer to Create An Acrobat Pro "Embed" Plug In based on the free YouTube API.
    The purpose of this is to be able to easily embed YouTube Video's within Acrobat documents so that It can stream the content into the PDF file.
    Many have suggested to download the content and embed it, but doing so will violate the user agreement with YouTube plus it would increase the size of the PDF file consideribly.
    If there are any Programmers out there that would be interested in taking this project on please let me know. I believe there is a real need for this tool which people would really like to have.
    The programming goals for the project would be as follows:
    1. Take the Free YouTube API and create a plug in for Acrobat that would allow you to easily embed content into any PDF.
    2. The "Embed Plug-In" Would essentially allow you to just copy and past the embed codes from YouTube, Hulu, or any other web source that provides an "Embed Code" so that the content can easily be placed within the PDF.  This embeded content could be videos, audio, playlist systems, ads, etc.. "anything with embed codes."
    3. You would be able to select an area of the PDF for the placement, paste the code and then be able to resize the content window. i.e. for YouTube Files.
    The Market for this is as follows:
    - Web Based Magazines, or Flash Magazines that were created with Indesign, Acrobat then Flash. They can easily then create interactive content, with ads and multimedia. Anyone cab be interactive publisher then, no need for Flash Programming Skills.
    - Educational Institutions that want to create lesson materials with Web Content.
    - Business's that wish to share media elements from the web within PDF presentations.
    If you need examples of how this might be used please contact me to discuss it further.
    Thanks for your assistance.

    Since I only found the plug in yesterday I've only played with it a little bit.
    First thoughts:
    It works.  It's easy to set up.  I followed the instructions and I had a link working to our promotional video on youtube in only a couple of minutes.
    Things I found:
    I am using layers extensively in my pdf and wanted the plug in window to show up on only one layer.  However as I mentioned before it doesn't do that so my workaround was to change the settings in the video to play in a floating window.  However the plugin window is still visible if you do this, so my workaround was to reduce it to essentially a dot on the page and hide it on something pale grey!  I created a button in InDesign and used that to fire the video.
    Security stuff:
    Obviously the pop up windows are somewhat frustrating but I see no way to get around them without doing what Joel suggested in his other blogs, which given the amount of users receiving my pdf and their varying competence levels with computers is not really an option.  My workaround for that was to include a note explaining what to expect and do when they did show up.
    For the future:
    See if Adobe would make this an option in InDesign and usable within it's layers section.  That would be awesome.  I haven't had a chance to check out the addin Joel mentioned that might help with this in Acrobat.  Have you?
    Thanks for the other tips on embeding html etc - always good to find new ways get around problems.

  • 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…

  • Looking for a way to Export Still Image to iPhoto

    Hi I'm looking for a way to export a still image from iMovie 08 to iPhoto 08? The simple drag, help, web search etc doesn't seem to come up with an answer but it's been a long day.
    Thanks

    Find the still within an event clip, right mouse, select add still frame to project. Repeat for all the stills you want.
    In Finder under pictures, you should find files for all the stills you created. Import them into Iphoto and there you have it.
    There is probably an easier way but this is not too bad.

  • Create Contact Sheet II missing

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a contact sheet in CS4 using <File><Automate><Create Contact Sheet II>
    The trouble is that <Create Contact Sheet II> is missing from the drop-down menu. This is the first time I've tried this since downloading and installing CS4, but I've done it often using CS3.
    How do I find/retrieve this menu option?

    Yes but they are not satisfactory for many reasons.
    You can get the legacy plug-ins from the Goodies folder or download them from the Adobe site.
