Sorting Photos for Contact sheets

Hello all,
My family just wants a basic photo archive using a contact sheet style. I can create a contact sheet style in the print options. That part is fine but the problem I'm having is that when I try to print the photos as a contact sheet, all the photo gets all unsorted even though the photos are all sorted by name in the iPhoto albums or events.  How do i correct this so that when print the albums as a contact sheet the photo will stay sorted by name.
Thanks
p.s. I couldn't get this to work in iPhoto '09 and I have recently upgraded to iphoto '11 and the same problem still exists.

Contact sheets are only sorted by date.  So if you need to print a contact sheet sorted by name put the photos in an album and sort by name.  Then select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option.  Use any date and add a couple of seconds between each photo.  Don't modify the original file.
Now when you go to print the contact sheet it will be sorted by date with will be the same as your sort by title.

  • 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.

  • Black Background for Contact Sheets

    Feature Request:
    The ability to customize background color for contact sheets, particularly black. At this point it looks as if all we have is a white background.
    If there is a way, please tell...
    Thank you!
    Linda

    Hi Ian,
    This is not about the interface but about printing the contact sheet.
    There are photographers who would like to be able to make the backgrounds on their contact sheets print black ink.
    I am actually making this request on behalf of another local photographer who attended our last Guild meeting. He searched high and low to see if it could be done but had no luck. I too searched for a way but couldn't find it. I think it is a worthwhile request since many of us might like to present comps with black rather than white paper showing.

  • Manual photo placement contact sheet

    Using iPhoto, I am trying to print a contact sheet with the photos in a specific order. 
    I have them in an album and I arranged them as I want them printed.  Upon printing to PDF, the images scramble.
    I have tried, but without success, the following:
    Tried setting the sort to "manual"
    Tried "batch changing" the dates and re-dated them sequentially by one minute and then clicked "sort by date". 
    Tried changing the file name and clicked "sort by file name".
    Have spent hours trying to fix this. At my wits end!
    My goal is to print 5 contact sheets with comparable photos in identical locations.  Specifically, each contact sheet depicts a house on the market.  There are 5 houses = 5 contact sheets.  The upper left corner picture on every contact sheet is the house's front exterior.  The upper right picture is that house's kitchen and so on....so that we can lay out all the printed contact sheets and compare quickly.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Banana

    Use a word processor like Pages to do this.

  • Image sequence for contact sheets in Bridge CS4

    I have been used to Contact Sheet in Photoshop but am now trying the Output option in Bridge. How can I change the order the photos appear on the sheet? Most are landscape format but a few are portrait and I would like to have the portrait format images all together and I don't see a way to effect what photos go where on the sheet. Is there a way? I also could only see the first of the two contact sheets. I'm sure there is an obvious way to review all but I haven't discovered how.
    Thanks.

    The preview in Bridge is limited to conserve resources. To see the whole thing, save the file and look at it.
    You can always quickly redo it if you want to make changes.
    Drag the thumbnails in the content pane to change the order.

  • Optimum number of images per sheet for contact sheet?

    what is the optimum number of images per sheet (like 5x5, 10x10 etc) for a contact sheet on the latest photoshop. optimum meaning the largest number of images per page so that you can still see what the image is of and the image number.
    thanks

    How are you going to use the Contact Sheet?  If you are not printing, but using your screen or website, you can use your file browser to simulate the Contact Sheet.  In Windows > File Explorer, choose large icons, and zoom in or out with Ctrl Mouse Wheel.

  • App for taking photo for contact

    I would like to use iPhone 4 taking a photo with new friend and put it into contact. I am wondering if there is any app to make the whole process simpler. Thanks!

    Sorry, I believe I did not clearly describe the issue. The current method is quite simple and I love it. So far, I have not added any photo in my contact yet but want to do so from now on. It is very useful for some friends who meet once a year or two years. The camera captures 5m photo but for such small photo. It should scale down the size in order to save the file size. Currently, I have over 700 contacts in the database. If I put photo in contact, I am unsure if it will impact the performance of the phone and occupies huge space. The other issue is to crop the head only for such small space provided for the photo in contact. Of course, I can do it manually but take time and is inconvenient. If there is an app that can have a small frame for the photo space in contact, that would be great.

  • Error message for contact sheet II command - program error

    I am trying to create a contact sheet in photoshop elements editor (I have done this before so I know how to do it), but when I go ahead and click on the button an error message pops up: " the operation could not be completed. the file or directory could not be found. then I click on OK and another error message: could not complete the contact sheet II command because of a program error. HELP. this command was working fine 2 weeks ago

    Which operating system and version of photoshop elements are you using?
    The cause is usually because the folder that had been specified in the contact sheet ii dialog has been moved, deleted or renamed.
    If your on a mac os go to
    (user) Library\Preferences\Adobe\Plugins\Adobe Contact Sheet II PSE12\Elements
    and delete the
    Adobe Contact Sheet PSE12 Prefs
    hopefully you should be able to use the Contact Sheet II plugin again.
    To see your user Library, in the Finder Go menu press the Option key and then you should see Library listed on the Go menu.

  • Can I set "use facebook photo" for contacts by default?

    When I edit a contact's photo, I can choose "use facebook photo" from the available options if there is a facebook profile linked to the contact.  Is there a way to do this across ALL contacts, without having to edit each of my 300  contacts individually?
    The issue I'm having is that old facebook photos from contacts added in iOS 5 are not updating anymore because the old photo stays as the contact's primary photo from the last time it was synced prior to facebook integration.
    Thanks,
    PShag.

    Select it in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.

  • 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

  • Sorting photos for slideshow on 5G 80GB iPod (Windows XPPro formatted)

    I can successfully synch my ipod to a specific photo folder on my desktop, but I am unable to keep the sorting for a slideshow. The ipod manual describes using PhotoShop (Adobe) programs, etc. I do not have that, but would like to display a slideshow in order (sorted). I have numbered, named individual photos with no result. The Monster S video cable works great for viewing on a TV!!!
    Any help sorting would be appreciated.

  • Iphone with Parrot 3200 LS Hands Free Car kit:  photos for contacts?

    Hello,
    Is anyone else using the Parrot 3200 LS hands free car kit with your iphone? I have one, and so for it's been great, but I can't figure out how to get the photos associated with my contacts to transfer to the contacts in the Parrot unit. It synced the contacts no problem, just no photos with them. Has anyone been able to get their photos to come up on the parrot unit? How?
    Thanks,
    Dana

    I have had the 3200 LS for 3 months. I havn't seen the photos transfer. Either my Parrot or my iphone does not work right. They will work showing my address book for two or three days then they will not pair for 3 or 4 weeks. I'm in one of those not pairing periods now. The grey symbol is lit. Under bluetooth it shows that they are paired but they don't work. Anyone got any ideas? I'll try working on the photos the next time it decides to work.

  • How do I select more than one photo for a contact sheet

    I am trying to print more than one photo per contact sheet (to save photo paper!) Iphoto help says to select the photos you want on the contact sheet and also to select how many photos you want on the "options" button on the contact sheet style selection. I cannot find either option in Iphoto.
    Thanks in advance,

    Before you select "Print," hold down the shift key and click on each photo that you want on the contact sheet.
    Then select "Print" with Style "Contact Sheet." The resulting window allows you to select the quantity of contact sheets that you want to print.

  • Photoshop Elements 13 2x6 Contact Sheet

    I'm trying to automate turning a lot of photos into contact sheets with Elements 13. The current problem is that the photos are too large and the last two elements of the contact sheet appear on the second page. Is there anyway to tell Elements 13 that I want all of my photos on a single page? Or do I need to go back and resize every single photos? It appears that Elements 13 will only allow me to specify the number of columns, and not rows on the contact sheet.
