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.

  • Printing a Contact Sheet as a PDF

    I would post to the Photoshop Elements Forum, as it has several features that are either not in Photoshop, or work differently. Folk in that forum will know exactly what you will need to do.

  • I can't print a contact sheet

         ...and it's driving me nuts!  Every time I try to print a contact sheet (to pdf, or to printer), everything just hangs. I get the spinning beachball fo death most attempts, or it spins and spins and finally spits out the pdf after about 10 minutes.   I used to be able to do this quickly with no problem, but something is up now.  I'm running the latest version of Aperture on a macbook pro.  Thanks in advance!

    Are you printing the contact sheet through the Aperture print options or some other way?

    Hello, I would like to create and print a contact sheet in Photoshop elements 13. I have managed to do that but I need desperately to be able to place a title on the contact sheet. Also, each photograph has as name and I need these names to show up on the contact sheet when I print them out. If this is not possible I will just return my product. I have an old old version of Photoshop that will do just that but with this new elements I cannot find it.

    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.

  • Can I Print a Contact Sheet of Photos in a Calendar?

    I'm making personalized calendars for many different people.  I don't want to put in the same photos I had in their calendar for 2011.  Is there a way I can print a contact sheet of the photos I had in the 2011 calendar ( I still have it saved in Projects), so I don't use the same photos?  It's very tedious going back & forth, back & forth as I creat each new calendar.
    Many thanks.

  • How do you print a contact sheet in sequential order please?

    How do you print a contact sheet in sequential or file order number please

    If you have the Mac version of iWork/Numbers you can print individual sheets.  My sheets are "printed" on separate pages when using the iCloud beta, so another option may be to print just a range of pages (or a single page) via the print dialog setting in Preview (or your PDF viewer app).

  • How can I print a contact sheet with a repeated row of images?

    Hi there,
    I am hoping that it is possible with my version of iPhoto to print a contact sheet on which I need to have a row of 8 pictures that then repeat down the entire page.
    I understand how to set the slider for the number of "rows" across the page. But, how do I then get these 8 pictures to repeat on the same piece of paper?
    I am an art teacher...need to do this for a project for my class!
    thanks for any help that may lead me to success...
    peace,
    Robin

    A contact sheet can only put each photo once on the page. I can't think of a way to do it in iPhoto.
    I was able to do what you describe in Photoshop Elements. If you have access to that program you can give it a try.
    In Photoshop Elements, open all 8 photos.
    Choose File->Contact Sheet II
    Source Images Use: Current Open Documents
    Thumbnails: Place across first, Columns: 8, Rows 1 (Use Auto Spacing)
    Uncheck "Use Filename as Caption" unless you want the names.
    Click OK.
    You then need to move the row of photos to the top of the page with the move tool. Then while holding down the option and shift keys, use the move tool to drag copies repeatedly until you've filled the page.

  • Print Images' Contact Sheet problems from specific camera...

    I have printed a couple contact sheets (Print Images > Contact Sheet), and all the thumbnails for RAW files from a Panasonic DMC-LX2 all come out squooshed into a square, no matter what the actual orientation of the file is. I have forced an update of the previews and there is no change. Is this a common problem for others? In the preview for printing single images to a page, the images appear normal, but with contact sheets the images from this camera come out square. No problems with my Canon files or other JPGs.
    I suspect there is no work-around, but ask just in case. It would be nice if there is, as the contact sheets are for a copyright registration, and the square makes the image possibly illegible in the eyes of a future court, if it ever got to that.

    HAs this already been discussed and fixed? hopefully?
    It appears to be a bug.

  • HELP! Different colors in Single print vs Contact Sheet print

    Aperture 1.5.1, G5, 10.4.8, Apple 30" display, Kodak 1400 Dye Sub printer, Canon 350D, shooting RAW.
    I have a few pictures and I want to print them. They are baby pictures so picture a little baby in standard issue baby yellow tee shirt and wrapped in baby yellow blanket.
    I select four pix and go to print images. In Single Images I set it up as Kodak 1400, Color sync profile Kodak 1400 Glossy, no color correction and changes in printer settings. I then do a preview and the images are prepared and displayed in Preview and they look fine.
    With the same four images, in Contact Sheet I set it up as Kodak 1400, Color sync profile Kodak 1400 Glossy, no color correction and changes in printer settings. I then do a preview and the images are prepared and displayed in Preview and they look like ****. Baby's yellow cloths are blown out to almost white. The off white wall behind mother and baby is blue.
    I've tried several setups and tweaks and I always get the same result. One print on a page looks great, contact sheets look like ****. It's like the contact sheet setup is using completely different color settings than the single sheet setup.
    Unfortunately you can't morph a working single sheet into a contact sheet. They have to start from different places (create new single vs create new contact)

  • Is it possible to change the number of rows while printing a contact sheet in Iphoto? Please help

    Hi guys, I am struggling to find out how to change the number of rows on a contact sheet on Iphoto , i have selected my photos and i want it to print 6 photos on each page however I am not able to do it.      Please help me out, im a Art student and i need to submit my contact sheets for an assignment  Thanks in advance guys !!!!!

    I don't think you can do that with the Contact Sheet layout.  If you have Pages or a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can do what you want.  Or try the demo version of OmniGraffle for Mac It will run fully operational for 14 days. 

  • Printing a contact sheet

    Is there any way to print a large group of photos as a contact sheet, or set of contact sheets?
    I know you can use Adobe Photoshop and do an automated batch command to create a contact sheet and then print it.
    Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    "Contact Sheets" should be one of the defaults at the top of the settings panel of the print dialog. There are many options, including printing metadata.
    Fuller instructions can be found by searching the Help file for "Contact Sheet":
    http://documentation.apple.com/search/#q=contact%20sheet
    If you can't get it set up the way you want, ask.
