Printing Contact Sheets in Elements 5.0

When printing contact sheets is it possible to also print file #'s or a number of my choosing under the pictures? I've been able to do this with previous versions but can't seem to find it in version 5. Thanks for any help...

Having chosen Contact Sheet as the Type of Print, you can choose to print File name.
Whether the file name contains a number useful for this purpose probably depends on your workflow.
Personally, I would not consider another choice - Caption - useful for this purpose because the caption is a permanent part of the photo file and does not seem applicable for a specific contact sheet. Yet there are some cases where it might work.

Printing Contact Sheets

Hello
I am trying to print a 4.5 x 5.75 contact sheet of 8 images, which I have saved as a preset. I have printed this many times in the past but this time I am getting a error message (which appears in the print dialog box too quickly for me to read.)
Anyways it seems to be isolated to printing contact sheets. If I try to print a single image from Aperture there is no problem. I have tried rebuilding my Aperture library, tried rebooting, but don't know what else to try?
Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help.

Miklos:
One poster pointed out that you could create a book using the Year Book theme. There you can select to have anywhere from 1 to 32 images per page and include the file names underneath the photos if desired. Then print the book to PDF and then print each page to hardcopy. Don't know if that will reduce your overall assembly time but you will be able to have the file names or titles printed also.
Another way is to create an html gallery, display in Safari and then print. Here's how:
Creating Contact Sheet with Titles
1 - Put the files you want to print in an album and arrange in the order you'd like.
2 - Go to the File->Export->Web Page menu option.
3 - While in the Web page window, select the number of thumbnails you'd like across each page (iPhoto will keep you informed on how many pages it will take).
4 - Click on Show Title under thumbnails and click on Export. Then select the location where you'd like the resulting files to be saved (create a temporary folder to contain them).
5 - Once saved, go the folder and open the index.html file with your browser. You will get a page with your thumbnails and titles beneath them.
6 - Print that browser page and you've got your contact sheet with file names (or comments if desired).
If you want more control over the thumbnail gallery, try using BetterHTMLExport or Galerie
Good luck.

How on Earth do you Print Contact Sheet in Landscape Orientation in the new iPhoto?

Just upgraded to Maverick and new iPhoto and boy am I sorry. In the last version of of iPhoto it was really difficult to print 4 to a page contact sheets from iPhoto in landscape mode. Why would you want to print in any othe mode when most photos are taken in landscape?
Pleae help as I have to print these photos ASAP for a client.

First set the page size to letter- borderless. Next after selecting the Contact theme click on the Print Settings button and reset the page size to 11 wide and 8.5 high.
Finally set the columns to 2 which will give you this:
To test it without having to print each time use the PDF ➙ Save as PDF menu option. If all looks good you can print from the PDF file.
There's no provision for adding a title at the top of the page. However, create a TextEdit, Word, Pages, etc., document, put the title at the top and print over the printed contact sheet.

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.

Can I print contact sheets from Iphoto or aperture with file names?

I can not figure out nor am I sure it can be done with these programs but if someone out there can tell me how I would be very happy. I have several jobs I need contacts on I have been printing contact sheets and then handwriting the file numbers. To old fashion for me. HELP

1. In the browser pane in Aperture, select the images you need.
2. File>Print...
3. On the left-hand side of the print dialog, click on 'Sample Contact Sheet Preset'.
4. In the layout options there is a drop-down menu for which metadata set you want to show below the images. You may get away with using 'Name Only' which gives you the current Version Name, otherwise you may have to make a new metadata set* containing just the filename.

Unable to print Contact Sheets from iPhoto

Hi there,
Since installing Lion 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro I no longer get the option to print Contact Sheets from iPhoto. I'm running quite an old version of it I think (Version 6.0.6), however this was no problem before the upgrade.
Can anyone suggest a solution for this?
Thanks in advance.

I just fired up my iPhoto 6.0.6 under Mt. Lion and I have no contact option in that version either. You'll have to upgrade to at least iPhoto 7 (08) in order to get contact sheets back. So you might as well upgrade to the latest iPhoto from the App Store.
If you also want the latest versions of iWeb and iDVD (which have been discontinued by Apple) you'll have to purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disc from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11.

Printing contact sheet from iPhoto

How can I print a contact sheet from iPhoto that retains the order of photos in my album?
I've placed the photos of which I want to make a contact sheet in their own album. I've organized them according to how I'd like them to print. However, when I go to print/contact sheet/custom to set the number of images per page and hit the print button, the photos are reorganized according the the main photo folder into which the images were originally imported - that is to say, by date order.

My printer does support landscape and portrait printing. It is the latest version of iPhoto 9.5.3 that only offers a minimal choice of printer, paper size and paper type. There are no formatting options available other than "Fit, Fill, Custom, 20x25cm, 13x18cm, 10x15cm and contact sheet". Another example of Appple degrading software to make it iOS compatible!
Perhaps Apple should be reading what their customers are complaining about and do something to restore the quality of their downgraded software.

Cannot print contact sheet

I have not been able to find anything about this problem with a search.
I cannot print a contact sheet with iphoto 4.0.3. When ever I try to print, the print will start to print the top line and then stop after 2 passes and freeze.
I used to be able to print contact sheets .... but have not printed one for about a year now.
I want to back up photos with a contact sheet to go with the disk.

Trashing the iPhoto preferences file (com.apple.iPhoto.plist) is a place to start, but I suspect since the printer starts the job and doesn't finish it, you likely have some corruption in your photo library database.
If the first suggestion doesn't resolve the issue, start iPhoto while holding the option+shift keys and hold the keys until your prompted to confirm your intention to rebuild. Click "Yes", then click "Save".
If the rebuild is successful and you're happy with it, trash the original iPhoto Library folder to free-up disk space.

I've added caption information to my files, but not all the information prints when I try to print contact sheets. Please advise.

I've added caption information to my files and when I go to print contact sheets, not all of the caption information will print. Is there some limit on information for captions? I've added several lines of information. Thanks for your assistance.
Regards,
Alan

HI Leonie,
Thanks for the input. I checked it out and you are correct in that only 3 lines of information can be printed. I've adjusted my information for 3 line s and it works.
Thanks for your help.

Alan

Can't print contact sheet (was Ron A B)

How do I print a contact sheet in PSE11?

What I would try at this point is using the installer to uninstall Elements. You choose Remove Components rather than Install components when you get to that screen. Then create a new admin user (system preferences>user accounts, and be sure to turn on the box to let the new user administer the computer). Log in as that user and run the install from there. If PSE works okay, then you can go back to your regular account and delete the new user. Don't forget to repair permissions after installing.

Contact sheet in elements 12

I was using elements 12 to make a contact sheet, it worked at first but now I get an error "Could not complete the Contact Sheet II command because of a program error."I have followed instructions for preferences does anyone have any other ideas?

Are you using the mac version or the windows version? It's very different between the two. On a mac you must be in the editor in expert mode to create a contact sheet, which you do by going to File>Contact Sheet II. If it's grayed out, you probably need to click the word Expert at the top of the editor window.
99jon has been giving you the windows directions. The red and green buttons you mention usually only appear in the editor and you need to be in the organizer in windows.

Lightroom 5.4 and Acrobat XI Pro - print contact sheet to PDF not working

Since upgrading to Lightoom 5 and Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, I have been unable to print a contact sheet to PDF. Although it goes through the motions of rendering and providing a "save as" dialog box, nothing is produced. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply. The following are my system specs. This feature has worked in the past but since upgrading from LR4 to LR5, this feature has stopped working. I can print to a printer, but not to a PDF.
HP Z800 Workstation
Duel Intel Xeon X5670 @ 2.93GHz Processors
18 GB RAM
Windows 7 Professional
Lightroom 5.4
Acrobat XI Pro (Version 11.0.06.70)
It will go through the motions, as if it is creating the PDF, but it doesn't output anything. I've restarted Lightroom and rebooted my system, but nothing seems to help.

Unable to print contact sheets.

The computer prints to a network printer. I am unable to print a contact sheet. It just disapears. I also have acrobat 11 and it will not create a file.

I just fired up my iPhoto 6.0.6 under Mt. Lion and I have no contact option in that version either. You'll have to upgrade to at least iPhoto 7 (08) in order to get contact sheets back. So you might as well upgrade to the latest iPhoto from the App Store.

Printing Contact Sheet - Title Does Not Move With Margin

When printing a contact sheet (bloody thing won't save but that's already reported), I increase the left margin to 2cm to suit the folder that I use. If I have Title ticked in Page options, the Title remains in the same position which means it is obscured by the folder's border. The same thing happens with page numbers if you increase the right margin.
Is there any way to change the location of the Title and Page fields so that they can be aligned with the margins.
Also, it would be nice to change the fonts, alignments and sizes of these header items.

This is not an ideal solution but in playing around with logos in the header, it occurred to me that you could adjust your logo to include the necessary blank space to move the Title to the right.
Still not perfect and it doesn't address the sizing, alignment issues but slightly better.
