Saving a Contact Sheet...

In iView I can make a contact sheet that I can save as a jpg. How can I do this in LR?

Wow, Lee is in a bad mood. This is one of several such posts. No idea what's got into him.
Anyway, you can:

A forum search on "contact sheet" would turn up several hits. It's very easy on a Mac, not so sure about PC.

Contact Sheet problems with LR 1.3.1 for MAC

Hey,
When I'm saving my contact sheets as PDF files in "Draft Mode Printing" mode about 20% of all the images comes out blurry. It looks just like they are out of focus, this occurs every time I do contact sheets in LR and uses "Draft Mode Printing" Sometimes its less then 20% sometimes its more.
I run LR on a Macbook Pro wih 4 Gb RAM, OS X, 3,5 Gb harddisk space left on computer.
Do anyone else have problems with this?
/Martin!

If you make contacts with full quality, same thing? How many images per page?
You are very close to the edge in running out of HD space needed for VM and scratch space, if not already over the theoretical limit.....

Selecting multiple folders to make a contact sheet

When creating a contact sheet in Bridge CS4, is it possible to select multiple folders so that you can pull multiple images? I tried saving a contact sheet pdf while selecting the folders, but Bridge is requesting that I select the files within the folder. It would seem counterproductive to extract all my images from all the folders to place them in a single location just to make a contact sheet. I hope I'm just missing something basic.
Thanks

The only thing I can think of for this purpose is to use the option to show
items from subfolders (in the View menu) and have a flat view for the whole
content of the mainfolder containing the desired subfolders.
If you have only a view items from subfolders instead of the whole content
from that subfolder you are bound to use either labeling or rating and
select them with filterpanel options.
And there is some other thing that comes to my mind, open them in PS and
choose the option to create contactsheet from open files.
However it is to my knowledge not possible to select items from different
folders in one time, neither in Finder, nor in Bridge.

Contact Sheet Creation: Super Fast!

With regards to my previous post:
Wow!
I just created/saved a contact sheet to PDF using Draft mode.
Lightspeed!
Sweet! Im starting to like this application.... : )
Took about 20 seconds to do what would have taken 15 minutes in non draft mode.
Excellent.
I retract my original complaint.
And the quality looks very good.

I just ran through a dry-run of a set of sheets for a project my SO and I are working on. Being able to print to PDF and send her the document via email is really, really sweet.
By the time I actually take the files in to my service we should have most of the question marks sorted.

Printing a contact sheet from multiple saved pdf drawings

How can I print a gridded contact sheet of several drawings I have saved as PDF's? They are all in separate files but I need to present on one sheet of paper. Seems like this would be easy but I can't figure it out.....

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.
Good luck,

Saving Contact Sheets

So I tried making a contact sheet in LR.
Doesnt work like in Bridge.
In fact it didnt work at all.
Said it was printing it.
Didnt print.
I want to create and save a contact sheet like in Bridge/Photoshop.
Can you in LR?

Thomas, printing has different set up/methods than Bridge. Follow the manual carefully and read the posts here about printing. Hopefully you can find your way around it. It is a bit like driving on the other side of the road, different but doable!
To save the only option at the moment that I know of is to save as PDF whch you can open in Photoshop.
If you could provide more information such as your system, OS and printer along with your procedure we can provide more assistance.
All the best.

Trying to create a contact sheet for passport photos....HELP!

Aperture 3 and iMac are both new to me and after a lot of research, I finally figured out how to make a contact sheet for my passport photo so that I don't have to pay 10.00 for a measly 2x2 photo at Walgreen's. I went to file>print>selected the 8x10 borderless size and adjusted the picture so that I would be able to print 20 2x2 photos on one sheet. PERFECT....but....I don't really want to print it myself ( I don't have any photo paper right now )...I want to SAVE the image I created and upload it to Walgreen's so that they can print it. Then, I will cut out the 2x2 photo that I need. The only problem right now is that I cannot figure out how to SAVE the image to my computer, either in iPhoto or Aperture 3. If anyone knows, can you please help me out with this. OR if there is another way to create the image in another area of Aperture 3 I would like to know how!
Thanks for any help you can provide

Once in print after you have the layout you want select the Print button. This will bring up the system print window (not actually print the image yet).
At the bottom of the new window is a button PDF select that. From that pulldown you can elect to save the print image as a pdf or better yet for your need you can save as a JPG (or TIFF)
Once you have it saved as a JPG you can upload to Walgreen;s

How can I create a PDF contact sheet of photos in finder

I'm trying to create an automator workflow/action (or service) that will allow me to select a set of photos in the finder and then create a PDF contact sheet that will include the Photo filename. I know that I can select photos and open in preview, but these do not include the filename with the photo in the saved PDF.
I'm a newbie with Automator, but i gave it a try myself.
In the Automator PDF Library, there is an action called "New PDF contact sheet", however I can't seem to be able to get it to work. I dragged that action to the workflow and then added "Get Selected Finder Items" before that.
It appears to run it--an "application"/window appears titled "MakePDF" and it appears to run through the selected photos. However, at the end (after it asks for the file name to save it with), it says that "The action “New PDF Contact Sheet” encountered an error--check the actions properties and try running the workflow again".
What am I leaving out of the workflow?

There is a bug in the *New PDF Contact Sheet* action in that it is looking for the Leopard version of a file that moved and changed in Snow Leopard.
Snow Leopard has a newer version of a support application MakePDF.app in the */System/Library/Image Capture/Automatic Tasks* folder, but as mentioned the *New PDF Contact Sheet* action seems to still require the older version of the application, which in Leopard is located in the */System/Library/Image Capture/Tools* folder. If you have access to a Leopard installation, you can copy the MakePDF.app from Leopard and place it into the same location in Snow Leopard (/System/Library/Image Capture/Tools) - this will get the action working again.

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.
Shane

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.

In photoshop CS5 trying to make a contact sheet,

When I go to the bridge and select tools to make a contact sheet , the error message "the File unkown in not available" comes up,,,what is this and how do I make a contact sheet please help

Thank you for the prompt response. I have opened the first contact sheet
as a file and then saved it. When I attempted to create a second contact
sheet, it continued to only allow me to use the first folder. Please
bear with me. I do not understand how to save the first contact sheet as
a file so that I can start over with the second contact sheet.

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.

Trying out Contact Sheet in Lightroom 4.1

I've worked through a catalog and intend to save the files to a disk for archiving. I want to include a contact sheet that has both the file name and the associated keywords listed on the page. I did a 4 x 5 contact sheet. I arranged everything and then saved it as a template.
But when I choose the template for the next set of pages I find that the keywords are missing. If I click on "Keep Square" in the Layout, the Keywords return. But if I then save that as a new template the keywords are missing again.
Am I missing something?

Contact Sheet Problem

Here is the scenario:
I start out with my standard contact sheet layout (saved)...6 columns, 6 rows, 8pt type, show file names, etc.
The file names are usually long and take up two lines. I adjust my vertical and horizontal spacing so that those file names are on two lines.
I update my contact sheet name with those perameters. But...when more than one page is required and I advance to the next page, I have to move my vertical and horizontal sliders to break the file name in to two lines. All this for every page. Even though all the specs for horizontal and vertical spacing are showing as being the same! I simply have to move each slider on every page just slightly...sometimes coming back to the same exact number that was there already! Is this a glitch???

Sorry -- missed your follow-up months ago .
Let's either fix this or identify it as a bug.
Are you running the most recent version of Aperture?
Have you tried selecting another A4 setting?
Does it happen with another printer selected?
And -- although this is clear from your excellent description, I want to double-check -- the layout presented by Aperture is, for example, "7,8, blank, blank, 9, 10", and is not "7, 8, blank, blank, 11, 12"? In other words, Aperture is laying out "n + b" photo locations where "n" equals the number of Images selected and "b" equals the number of blanks Aperture is adding?

How do a create and save a contact sheet in Elements12?

Thank you

Thank you
Since you know how to create and print then saving it should be pretty easy. However, before I tell you how to do this, let me ask you have you got Adobe Acrobat (full version) or some other pdf creator? There are many free pdf creator out there but you might already have something on your system.
Assuming you have a pdf creator then instead of printing to a printer, try "printing to a pdf file" and this should allow you to save the file which can then be emailed to your friends and colleagues.
Hope this helps.

Contact sheet border

how can i add a border to each image on the contact sheet?

how can i add a border to each image on the contact sheet?
You can't do so in either Output Module in Bridge or Contact sheet II script in Ps. Both are nice features but limited options.
And what do you mean with border?
If it is a stroke surrounding the image itself you can create an action in PS to add a stroke to the file and for instance also reduce file size, use a save as command (to keep your original untouched and keep the same file name) to a specific folder and use this folder to create your contact sheets. With the action saved (and tested) you can select the files in Bridge, choose menu Tools / photoshop / batch and search for the new action. Hit Ok and you only have to wait a few minutes while PS is doing the work for you.
If you mean a stroke between the images I have no idea. If you have InDesign there is a third party contact sheet script that offers more options, but I don't know very much of this script.
