Picture package in ps cs6

Question

Answer 1

There is a pitfall using smart objects if you create templates and use  replace content to to replace the embedded object to create a picture package for other images.  For it to work well the replacement object need to be the same size as the original object.  All the smart object layers in a picture package share a common single smart object.  Each smart object layer has an associated transform which is not replaced or changed when you replace the embedded smart object content.  If the replacement object size is not the same as the original image the associated transforms may produce something you not expecting....
I posted this a few days ago:
If you are using windows and perpetual CS6 version not the subscription CS6 version you can install the CS5 optional Plug-in and get Picture Package working.    CS6 subscription version removed some Plug-in support that is used by the CS5 Pictture Package plug-in.    Mac users can not use Picture package in any version of CS6. The CS5 Mac picture package plug-in is a 32bit Plug-in and CS6 is 64bit only.
Window and Mac users can use  Contact Sheet II however IMO its nothing like a Picture Package feature.    I have made available a Photo Collage Toolkit for Photoshop.  In it there is a script PasteImageRoll that is more like a Picture Package function for a single tile size Picture Package then Contact Sheet II.  I also modified my Batch collage script to populate a collage template using a single image file for all image location.  So you can Populate a template of your design as a Picture Package.
Paste Image Roll Script and Picture Package Support Documentation.   Photo Collage Toolkit Documentation and Examples
Note: My batch script was written to populate collages its operation will be much slower then Photoshop old Picture Package plug-in. The script will save layered PSD files which can tweak before you print.   Paste Image Roll script requires no template and just creates a new document which it tiles your images into.  It does not save or print it just creates a layer document which can tweak and print.  You can also Flatten and save an image file.
