Print metadata with contact sheet, or alone?

Hi, I am taking a beginner's digital photo class and we have weekly assignments to bring a contact sheet to class, with metadata next to the photo.
I am on an iMac G4 that is NOT an intel mac so I cannot use picasa, which I'm told is the easiest way. I found how to print a contact sheet in iPhoto but it will not add the photo name or the metadata.
So, I tried with my Adobe Photoshop elements and I am not sure how to do this. I found my way to 'bridge' where I can see the metadata but for the life of me, I have no idea how to print the contact sheet with the metadata, as the instructor has requested.
Can anyone help a beginner find her way? Is this doable in PS Elements?
Thanks for any help and/or guidance anyone is willing to give.
Michelle

The short answer is that it can be done with InDesign CS3 via a script someone wrote:

Not sure if the Web Gallery output option in Bridge works how you want it to. The PDF doesnt. It only includes filenames.

Print Sharpening for contact sheets?

When I am printing multiple images if I use the single image printing options I can set sharpening parameters in the print dialog. However if I switch to contact sheet printing, to get more than one image on a printed page, I lose the sharpening settings. Is it really impossible to do print sharpening when printing multiple images on a page or am I missing something?
-Will Rabinovich

A contact sheet doesn't have to be thumbnail size. I often print 2 5x7 s on one 81/2 x11 sheet of paper. The only way to do that in Aperture is with contact sheets or a light table, neither of which seems to have print sharpening

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.

Caption problem with Contact Sheet II plugin

I'm using the current version of Photoshop CC (2014.2.1) and suddenly have a caption anomaly that is quite annoying. When creating contact sheets using Contact Sheet II no matter what setting I request for caption font sizes it created the contact sheet with 2.2 pt. text. I've never had an issue. I tried resetting the type tool itself but that made mo different I normally set the captions to 10 to 12 pt.
This issue just began in the last week. I did update to the new Mac os (Yosemite) in the last ten days.
Any idea as to what is going on? Thanks for any help.

I believe that's a bug in photoshop cc 2014.2 and cc 2014.2.1

Putting Text with Contact Sheet in CS4

Hello,
I have read numerous posts, I have seen an online tutorial, in terms of how the Contact Sheet feature was moved in CS 4.....I did manage to find it, however, I do find myself with a question...
I am submitting images to a magazine Photo Editor, and they require a contact sheet to be submitted along with the images. On the contact sheet they want the FILE NAME, and also the Species Name (I am shooting wildlife), and also a quick mention of the geographic area in the US where it was shot.....
As I said, I found the Contact Sheet part in CS4, and I see where I can list an overall Header or Footer on the overall Contact sheet page, but I do not
see anywhere (I apologize ahead of time if I am overlooking this in some obvious place), I do not see anywhere, where, I can go to the individual images, and, in addition to the File names, put the kind of text information that I just mentioned above.
Way back in CS3, the Contact sheet function actually generated a Layered PS File, with the images and the text for the images, as separate layers, and you could actually go in and type custom text into the Text portion below the image, but that does not seem to be the case at all in CS4.
Surely this is doable somehow for me to add custom text to the images on my Contact sheet, beyond merely the file names? If not in Photoshop, is anyone aware of any 3rd party Contact Sheet software that will allow me to do this? This is a national publication that puts out about 40 magazines, so I cannot be the first to run into this problem.
Any help you can give me ( in terms of a detailed explanation of how to do this) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to all, and have a great day!
John

Metadata in Contact Sheet

Adobe removed the Indesign Contact Sheet Script in CS4 and replace it by a buildin pdf contactsheet maker they claim superior but they forgot one thing very important, ability to insert custom metadata as caption. Without that feature, it's for me nearly useless.

Hey guys, I just thought I'd pass on some hopeful info. Bob Stucky had been working on a revised, rewritten-from-the-ground-up version of the InDesign Contact Sheet script for CS4. Earlier in the year he released a beta version to those of us that forked out a couple bucks ($25). I currently use it to produce my customized contact sheets. I'm not sure on the status of the project and recently fired off a quick email to him to find out.
You can check out my blog entry on the topic, including the customized templates I built. These work in CS3 as well...

Help with Contact Sheet CS3 Windows

When I open Contact Sheet, and select Browse to find the folder I want to use, it only allows access to the desktop. How can I fix it so that I can select a folder that isn't on the desktop?
Thanks!

I have seen this myself and a quit and restart are usually enough to fix it.

Printing one image on a contact sheet with different gamma settings

Hi,
I am currently using Aperture 1.1, and I would like to print out a contact sheet of one image (each with a different gamma setting) to my Epson R800 printer. Any idea on how to do this? Also, I seem to be somewhat limited in my printing options, is it possible to print out say two or three images on one sheet?

Not without actually duplicating the intended images for the print.

Can't print contact sheets on Epson R1800 with LR3

I upgraded to Lightroom 3 a few months ago and can't print contact sheets on 13x16" sheets using my Epson R1800 (it worked fine before in Lightroom 2).
I have this problem on both an iMac and Macbook Pro, both running the latest version of Snow Leopard.
I've tried re-installing the drivers, open the program in 32 bit mode and no joy.
I can use the Print Module no problem and can print 4x6 single prints or even do a 2x2 contact sheet on a 4x6. I can also print a 7x7 contact sheet on a 13x19" sheet using draft mode, but if I try to use profiles (the images are way too dark in draft mode), LR will spend a few minutes rendering the images, while this is happening the job appears in the Epson utility, but once LR has finished rendering, the progress bar disappears along with the job in the Epson utility and nothing happens?
Anybody experience something similar?
Thanks in advance for replying.

Print Drivers on OS X aren't the same as on Windows...
You can't use an Epson driver made for USB-only Epson printers, because they wrote the driver to only work via USB. To use the CUPS Windows printer protocol, you need a driver written to use CUPS. The Gutenprint drivers Apple included in OS X are CUPS drivers. An update is here:

If your specific model isn't yet supported, try other model drivers.

How to print contact sheet with file names

I want to print a photo contact sheet with file names. Is this possible with any standard Mac app?

I'd like to print the Album name at the top of each contact sheet I produce from that album - is this possible within iphoto '08 or do I need to print to a pdf and then edit that pdf with acrobat pro for example.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13/13.1 running on?
Assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, open the Elements Organizer 13/13.1 and select your media
for the Contact Sheet.
Go to File Menu/Print and set up the Print Dialog for Contact Sheet.
If you used Edit Menu/Add Caption beforehand, I can see how you can get
Date
Caption
Filename
under the Print dialog's "4" and even a page number if you have more than 1 page. But, I am not seeing
where you are going to get a title for each of the contact sheets.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
You can get into the Elements Organizer 13/13.1 from the Welcome Screen or by clicking on the Organizer Tab
at the bottom of the Expert workspace in the Premiere Elements 13/13.1 Editor.

I cannot find images for contact sheet printing.

I have been printing hundreds of contact sheets and from time to time when I add pictures for contact sheet, I am unable to find the images I want even though they are open and in the project bin and in the same folder. I may find two but not the other two and so on. They all are the same size. Thanks.

You need to go into more detail about your problem. Perhaps you can provide screenshots of your dilemma with the software and provide more information that may help people answer your question. If not, you can always try reading the manual.

Printing 20x30 Contact Sheet Poster

I'm trying to print a 20x30 contact sheet poster containing 98 images. I have a 300 dpi TIFF file imported into iPhoto 5 that comes in at 155 MB (6000x9000 dpi). However, when I try to order a 20x30 print from iPhoto, the dialog box tells me it's transferring a 10 MB file, nothing close to the 155 MB original. What am I doing wrong? I haven't let the order proceed yet because I'm sure a 10 MB file at poster size will look terrible.
Thanks in advance. SJG.

L,
Saving the TIFF file as a (minimum compression) JPEG reduces the filesize from 155 to about 40 MB. I can import this into iPhoto. But still, when I try to send the photo to iPhoto for printing it tells me it's transferring a 10 MB file. Is it converting the JPEG again to a higher compression version?
I've tried going to Kodak directly but for some reason when I try to upload my photo, Safari presents me with a blank page. So I'm stuck again.
I don't use an applet for making the poster. Is there one about? And yes, that should be 6000x9000 pixels. Sorry.
Thanks in advance. SJG.
