Minor bug in Print module (numbering of Contact Sheet pages)

I have selected one image from the Library or the film strip, went to the Print module and selected "5x8 Contact Sheet" from the Template Browser. On the top/left corner, it states "Page 1 of 2", while obviously there is one page only. Adding more pictures to fill in multiple pages, and moving from one page to another, the indication on top/left is recurrently wrong, e.g. indicating Page 2 of 2 when I am on 1 of 2. Numbering in the lower right rectangle is correct, instead.

Lightroom automatically wraps text under the thumbnail in contact sheets. The Text Template Editor does not allow you to enter line breaks. So, if your Filename is long enough to fill the first line, the caption will start with the second. If not, you can tweak the template somehow so that it looks the way you want.

Printing pictures on a contact sheet

I have iphoto 7.1.1. and my printer is a Canon iP3500. I am trying to print photos on a contact sheet in three columns with multiple rows. When the print preview comes up it just shows one picture on the page verses multiple pictures. Can anyone tell me how to print out multiple pictures?
Thanks

select the photos you want to print, click print, in the left hand section of the print window click "contact sheet" and click print and click print

Bug in Print Module, LR3.6, custom package

Hi everybody,
After two days of unequal fight with Print Module bug I hope I finally pinned it down.
Hope it saves someone time
I have my photos usually cropped in DSLR format (2:3)
Printing I use often two popular formats 13x18cm and 15x21cm that are close to 5:7 (first one is 5x7in)
Initially I was using virtual copies and had them cropped to 5:7 format.
However this makes a little mess in my workflow and it's time consuming.
What I found was Custom Package in Print Module.
Having cell with target size I drag desired photo into the cell and using cmd-key drag this foto to have proper look as the width target format is smaller. So far so good, but ...
From time to time printed photo looked totally different from what I saw on-screen.
First of all there are couple threads about that problem. I visited them but they remain unanswered

There are visual samples there of what happens.
Photos in JPG file that was created from LR look differently than in LR. Photos in file are bigger or/and wrong positioned within the cell
What I managed to find is:
Everything goes fine until photo is rotated by 'Rotate to Fit' function. It happens in my case only with photos that have the same orientation that template.
Example:
Template is set on A4 borderless format set to portait (Page Setup... button).
Two cells 14,85cm height x 21cm width (A5 format). First one over second and both in landcape position.
When I drag photo cropped in Landscape orientation such a photo is rendered properly.
When I drag photo cropped in Portrait orientation it's atutomatically rotated 90 degrees (couterclockwise) by "Rotate to Fit option" and that is when **** happens.
Final print (to file or printer) shows that user dragging is omitted in render. What's more if "Photo border" is set to on, photo in this cell is not reduced. Instead of this (as far as I can see) photo border just crop some part of picture.
If I switch orientation of the A4 page from portrait to lansdcape, magically photos that are cropped in portrait orientation start to render good (they are not rotated now) while those in landscape start to render wrong.
This looks 99% as software bug.
I'm using LR3.6 on mac osx 10.6.8
I'd like someone to follow it and to check if the same happens on different Mac or Windows.
Cheers
Robert

Confirmed in LR 5.3, OS X 10.9.1.
Screen display is fine, user repositioning is ignored when printing if page is in landscape mode and the image is rotated 90° (Rotate to Fit on). A4, Epson printer. Bug also appears in PDFs generated via the "Printer…" button. I didn't check JPEG export.

Printing file & caption on contact sheet- Problem seeing full string

I am attempting to print a two column, 4 row contact sheet with file name & caption below the image. I can tweak the cell spacing vertical size slider which reduces the size of the image and can see all the file name & caption, which may be 2-3 lines. I have selected file & caption along with a space after the string in the photo info section on the right and clicked done, then control clicked and saved template settings. I can print that sheet with all info. When I switch to another group of images using that saved template, all I can see is a single line of text. If I slightly tweak the vertical size slider, the image becomes a bit smaller and I can see the full text string, but in order to see full file & caption info, I have to tweak the slider for each sheet. If I go back to the previous group of images, the image is larger, I see a single line of text and I have to re-tweak the vertical size slider. I have a large number of sheets to print with file & caption info. How do I configure settings so I can save the full text string and don't have to tweak each sheet.

Ben3C,
I have found the same problem. What I have done is saved a template with the number of colums and rows desired. I went into the 'Photo Info'under the Page area and using custom set up what I want to be printed below each image. As I said, this is saved as a template. Then when I select a group of images to print I select the previously displayed template. This is when the caption will revert to only one line. Then just select a different template (I usually select the filename. Then reselect your custome template that you built. All the lines of the caption will then show and print. I have printed contact sheets with up to 10 rows of information and Lightroom will automatically resize the image so both the image and caption will fit within the cell area.
Hope this helps -- dbmazz

Printing EXIF Data on Contact Sheet

Is there a way to add to the contact sheet printout pre-selected EXIF data? I would like to have Original date/time, ISO, shutter speed, f stop and focal length on the contact sheet. I would also like to have full path with file name printed as well. How do I accomplish this.
I am using PSE 4.0.
Thanks for your help.

I'll be interested to see what people post back to you, because I actually
have the choice to do this... excepting that it is greyed out. If no one
responds, I'll look around and see what I can find.
Cheers

Bug in print module still not fixed in LR2.1RC

MacPro 10.5.5 iPF9000 Canon driver 1.30
What I found out is that when going to Print Setup under Color Matching I can choose Vendor Matching and then I can choose CM off in the Driver. If I then hit Print One the print is correct.
If I go to Print under Color Matching I cannot choose Vendor Matching. Both selections are grayed out and Colorsync is shown as checked. Of course I cannot choose CM Off this way. After I have once gone into the Print and then go back to Print Setup I can no longer choose Vendor Matching and have the same grayed out dialog under Color Matching. And off course the print is not correct this way with the double profiling that is going along.
Also it should be noted that selecting the cancel button in the Print Settings dialog brings about this behavior were it defaults to using colorsync and the Color Matching options are grayed out.
Close and restart LR2 and then you can have the Color Matching option back so that you can select CM off in the printer driver. Just do not select Cancel.

These issues (Dark prints, wrong profile handling, color shift, ...) are persisting since 1.3.x!!!!
Only for some! I use LR1/2 for printing all the time, and its great. Near-perfect color matching, incredibly useful printer presets, great resizing, etc, etc. But I use V64 and Epson printers.
Have you reported your particular problem to Adobe Support?
Bob Frost.

Bug in print module in LR2.

Doing a little more testing on the print profile problem.
MacPro 10.5.4 iPF9000 Canon driver 1.30
What I found out is that when going to Print Setup under Color Matching I can choose Vendor Matching and then I can choose CM off in the Driver. If I then hit Print One the print is correct.
If I go to Print under Color Matching I cannot choose Vendor Matching. Both selections are grayed out and Colorsync is shown as checked. Of course I cannot choose CM Off this way. After I have once gone into the Print and then go back to Print Setup I can no longer choose Vendor Matching and have the same grayed out dialog under Color Matching. And off course the print is not correct this way with the double profiling that is going along.
I am providing this information if anybody cares or knows enough about CM here to know what I am talking about. After 20 years of doing color printing I think I know what I am talking about. So, if you don't care to hear this information, so be it.

I also have noticed is that when you choose Print One and then go back to Print Settings the Color Matching choice option are grayed out and ColorSync is the default.
After working with many other software producers (a lot of it beta testing) it is really frustrating dealing with the denial and stonewalling that goes on at Adobe. This was pointed out to them when LR 2 was still in beta. (Maybe it still is)
Interesting that this default Color Matching selection is in PS, but in PS it defaults to vendor matching with CM off as the option.

Printing a list from Contacts via Pages

I'm not sure if this is an Address Book question or a Pages question, but I am posting it here.
I want to print a list of my contacts from the Address Book via Pages so I can format it appropriately. I have looked at mail merge, but that seems to insist on a page break between each record. what's the best way to do what I am trying to achieve ?

Thanks, but having read it that looks a rather long winded and clumsy approach to the problem.
Actually, I've just done a bit more Googling on the problem and I realize there is a print option I was overlooking (when I expand the print options) that will create a list of all contacts.
Hmm, looked at that a bit more and there is not much control over which fields are included, won't really do the job.
Is there really no off the shelf Apple solution to what seems to me to be a pretty basic and frequently wanted requirement ?

Contact Sheet Printing Problems

I have been trying to print contact sheets starting with version 1.1 and I'm still not able to print them in 2.1.
Ligthroom will generate the file but the printers (I tried 3 printers) are reporting error messages (Status Error - Printing). The file just stay in the queue for ever or I delete it. First I thought it had to be a printer problem so I tried to print the contact sheets in Draft Mode. That worked and everything was fine except the quality of the pictures on the contact sheet was so bad - unusable.
Now I have tried different relosutions from 150 to 250 and nothing works. Well, not quite nothing. I can print out one contact sheet with up to 20 pictures, but as soon as I need more than one sheet it fails.
I'm also running into the same problem with color shifts printing from Lightroom compared to Photoshop. Also, the speed seems to be very slow. I have about 30,000 slides in my library and I'm constantly waiting until LR catches up.

I was experiencing the same thing (in 4.1RC2). Tried to print a 158-image contact sheet (4 pgs), and it would want to render every image first.
Here's my solution:
I went back to the Library module, selected all the photos I wanted to print, and made sure they all had standard previews rendered. Then I was able to go back and print as draft (to printer, pdf, and jpg) with lightning speed.
Hope that helps,
Cory
**UPDATE**
Today I tried to print another contact sheet, with all previews rendered, and it's being slow again. Apparently my solution doesn't really work 100%. Yeah, it's like Jeckyll and Hyde...

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.

PDF Contact Sheet Spacing

I managed to get the soacing between the pictures the way I wanted them (left to right), but I can't get the pictures closer together from top to bottom. I tried changing all the numbers but it made no differance in getting them closer top to bottom.

You need to experiment as I said in the other thread. (You didn't need to start a new one!).
Personally I don't think much of that module and use Contact Sheet X found here: http://csx.riaforge.org/

Script for mulipage contact sheet?

Don't know if this belongs here or in Photoshop forum since it invloves a Photoshop feature called by Bridge -- but since Bridge is where I typically use it...
Currently I'm creating contact sheets from folders selected within Bridge (or thumbnails selected in Bridge) and the only way I can quickly get them into a mulitpage contact sheet/catalog format is to then use the PDF Presentation Multipage-Document feature with the add-open-pages selection. Then I can save it as a catalog and delete the Photoshop contact sheet pages. Works well enough but it is awkward to have to first select the open contact sheet files for the PDF Presentation and then close them all and delete them. Also, in the PDF Presentation options I have to deselect all the other files in the folder one by one if the contact sheet was selected from files (or just deselect the folder if I went that route). Often pretty simple but with large numbers of files (and thus a large number of Contact Sheet pages) it gets more complicated. Seems like a really good opportunity for a script (or action or plugin). Does anyone know if such a critter is available? Many file browsers have multipage contact sheet/catalog options but none of them are as well integrated with PS and ACR as Bridge so I've stopped using them. I sure miss those catalog files though.
Couldn't find anything in Studio Exchange under either Photoshop or Bridge (actions, plugins, or scripts) but that doesn't mean much since there is so much there I usually miss just what I need!
Thanks,
Dan

Works for me!
Good Luck.

Snow Leopard contact sheet layout changes possible?

Unable to change contact sheet layout to suit my needs. E.g. I want 6 photos per page in two columns. The default option for two columns seems to be 2 or 4 photos/page. Ask for six and it creates two pages. The layout within the contact sheet seems to have lost some of the flexibility that OSX Leopard had. Is there something that I am overlooking?

Thanks for your response.
This what I do without getting the results I would like for 8.5x11 paper:
1. I select 6 photos
2. Hit "Print"
3. Select "Contact Sheet" - the 6 photos are shown at the top of the 'page' in two rows.
4. Select "Customize"
5. Select "2 columns" (in the hope of getting the 6 photos arranged on one sheet - with the sheet in portrait format. Instead I get 4 photos on one sheet and lots of blank space.
6. Select "Layout" icon. I see a sheet with 12 rectangles and a "1" in the margin. I am unable to make changes to the layout as shown.
Hopefully I have described my situation well enough for you.
Thanks
Ken

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.
