Making a "details" view contact sheet

I'm trying to make a contact sheet PDF, but have the images displayed in the "details" mode. Is there a way to do this?
I'd like to have it look like this... (even better would be a block of ruled lines in the blank space for handwritten notes)

Hi Navarro,
As you can see, your thread has been viewed over thirty times. It seems that no one knows the answer.
My feeling is that, if it's possible at all, it would have to be done through scripting. Tried the Bridge Scripting forum yet?

Why did Adobe get rid of making nice neat PDF contact sheets directly in Bridge??

I know there is an output module, but it is not really any help! It still uses photoshop to create multiple seperate PSD files and takes forever! It is VERY important at my job to make contact sheets, we need them to go through hundreds of pictures. Why can't you just bring back making it straight in Bridge? It was so much faster and convenient. I cannot afford to wait while Photoshop generates 50 pages of 8 thumbnails for me as it ties up my computer, not to mention the steps to convert those files into one nice pdf. It is incredibly frustrating! Just makes no sense Adobe would do this??

Not sure I understand your problem but I guess you have Bridge CC and now you don't have the option to use the Adobe Output Module? The output module you are talking about is the old contact sheet script that indeed produces loose sheets (PSD, but also jpeg) and can take a while depending on your settings.
But you still have the option to install the Output Module for Bridge CC again, but you have to do it yourself, it can be downloaded via this link but you should first read the instructions carefully because it needs some attention. With the Output module you can use Bridge again to create PDF documents with many pages and custom lay out.:

How to fix black sidebar and contact sheet in Preview?

How can I fix a bug or setting in the Preview app that is making the sidebar or contact sheet solid black. Whenever I try to view thumbnails in the side bar, it is just a black column with no previews. If I choose contact sheet, the same thing happens in the main window.

Can't figure out how to do that by using the mouse only other than clicking one of the view mode boxes in the toolbar -
In Preview's Preferences, you can set PDF's to always open with the sidebar active.

Making a "Contact Sheet"

I am having trouble making a "contact sheet"; one page that will display 2,4,6,8 or 12 images culled from my desktop file of images. The old Photoshop had a very easy system that allowed me to drop images into a pre-set contact sheet. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks!

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.?

How to view a multipage PDF in the form of a contact sheet?

There are plenty of discussions over how to place a multipage PDF into an InDesign document ONE PAGE PER PAGE. But I fail to find out if there is a way (within a CS2 environment) to place a multipage PDF continuously as "thumbnails" either 1 : 1, or scaled down, filling each page in the document in a way similar to the Data Merge tool, for example - so as to create a contact sheet of the PDF pages.
The only way I see is to place the PDF the usual way, export the document as individual images, and then make a contact sheet using Bridge or Photoshop - which I find rather inconvenient.
Any hint, please?
Thank you, Pataka

In Acrobat Pro print to Adobe PDF.
In the settings for Layout choose for instance
16 pages per paper sheet.
One get's a PDF with one or more new pages,
which can be placed in ID if necessary.
Sometimes that's called printing N-up, here 16-up.

PS CS3 random errors with Lightroom folder when making contact sheets

When I make contact sheets in Photoshop CS3 of photo files in a folder of images exported from Lightrom Beta 2, it places some of the pictures randomly across the contact sheets, especially when I have more than 60 or more images. The first shot will always show at the end of the set of proofs 5 across, 6 rows down, but some images from the end of atake will end up scattered across the other sheets. If I make a set of contact sheets from images in a folder of the original images, not worked on in Lightroom, they come up perfectly. What can I do to fix this? I had it working OK in Lightroom Beta 1. I'm Working in PC XPSP3. A thousand thanks in advance. Cliff Moore

First, LR3 final has been released.
This doesn't seem to be a problem of LR, rather Photoshop.
Why don't you make the contact sheet in Lightroom?
Why do you think the order is incorrect. Did you check the file names? I guess the order depends on this.

Trouble making contact sheet in Elements 6

I'm trying to make contact sheets, but when I get to the step where I'm supposed to click on an image and add it to the sheet, none of the images are "live" or "clickable." In other words, I can see them in the file folder, but when I click on them, nothing happens. How do I "turn them on" so that I can send them to the contact sheet? Thanks for help!--Drew

Interesting question. I have downloaded to iPhoto in the past, but this batch was downloaded through Elements6 and I access the photos through my regular photo files/folders system. Thanks for hanging in there with me on this!

Making a contact sheet into a photobook

Hello everyone,
I would like to use the aperture photo book service to create a contact sheet book. Something similar to the "print contact sheet" function, but instead have it made into a book.
Is it possible to create some kind of template where I can just drop all my images into the book and have all the pages automaticallly made with the filename below each thumbnail?
Help!
Erik

Maybe "print" your contact sheets to pdf, then import
those pdf's an make your book?
That's exactly what I would do. To Aperture, PDF files are just another image file format that can be imported and used as a master. All you would have to do, is to make a project and import all of your contact sheets into it. Then, just make a book of them.
When you make your contact sheets, set up a custom page size that matches the dimensions of the book you want to order.

How do I make a Contact Sheet with CS5.1?

I'm having a problem making a Contact Sheet. Running Mac 10.7.5, CS 5.1. I downloaded the Plug Ins from the Adobe site and installed them. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4963. But when I'm in Bridge and select Tools > Photoshop > Contact Sheet II, I get this message:
Please advise. Many thanks.

There is a Photoshop Scripting Forum

and "Adobe Intro To Scripting.pdf" and "Photoshop-CS5-Scripting-Guide.pdf" might provide an introduction.

Contact Sheet in AS3

Hi, I have been making a website entirely in flash CS4 AS3 and I decided to buy a contact sheet to add into it, when I added it in though it didn't work. I would click the button of the contact sheet and it didn't work. I contacted the creator if the contact sheet and this is what he told me:
Actionscript 3.0 hates timelines
They way you have it set up it wont work
First get the emailer working in its own flv, swf.
Then when you have it working loaded it as an external swf.
You tie line coding was normal in 1.0 acceptable in 2.0 but wont cut it in 3.0
All Actionscript needs to be in one key frame. all pages need to be externally loaded swf,s not just a new location on a timeline.
So if someone could tell me how to create a contain file and external .swf for my contact sheet and also how to call up the external .swf it would be great help.
I attached my flash file so you can look at it and give me the best help possible. Thorough instructions would be much appreciated.

The person you got that information from doesn't understand AS3 or CS4 very well. Pretty much anything that was said is wrong. AS3 code loves the timeline, in fact, when it is in an fla file it is required to be in the timeline, unlike AS1/2 which allowed code to be attached to objects. And you are not limited to having code in the first frame.
Pages can be timeline based entities--movieclips in different frames or with their visibility controlled, or entire sections of timelines, or external swf files that are loaded on demand. The latter is what this person claims is all that is possible. If that is all the support the person who sold you this has to offer, you aren't likely to get a solution thru that person.
If you can provide the details of this contact sheet that you want to incorporate, and indicate what you have tried that is not working, someone may be able to help you thru this here.

Contact Sheets for Illustrator Vector Art

Is there a way to generate a "contact sheet" PDF of Illustrator vector files that doesn't convert the individual contact views from vector to rasterized?
I use CS5 Bridge now for making contact sheets and the results are too fuzzy to be useful especially when some of the vector art items are smaller than the frame on the contact sheet

Bob, still does his ID script you could see if that does what you want? It's not free thou… Anyhow the link…

Is there a way to export your photo links from Illustrator (CS6) to a contact sheet?

So I've got this project where I'm making a set of images and placing about 300 photos with each set. In order to avoid duplication and to track which photos were used where, I'm having to take screen shots of the links panel (scrolling down and taking another for each batch of images on each file). This is a really clunky way to track these files and a contact sheet would be a lot easier to work with. Is there a way to export the links to a contact sheet in Illustrator?

- select your images
- open the Document Info Panel, check "Selection Only", "Linked Images" and click on "Save..."

How can I change the background color of a contact sheet?

I'm making my contact sheet just fine but it's on a white background, and I'd like to change it to a darker gray. This functionality existed in an earlier version of Bridge but I'm not seeing it now that contact sheet is now in Photoshop. Any ideas? Thanks!

Say what?
Anyway in Photoshop’s Contact Sheet II just don’t check "Flatten All Layers" and you can then add the intended background to the resulting files.
