Why no Contact Sheet options in Bridge from CS5.5 UK

I have searched and searched, but could find nothing on this issue. I tried to call Adobe Support, but they said I had to pay as we have a volume license! We've only had the product 2 weeks!
Anyway, in Bridge you used to be able to select the Ouput module and have options for making a PDF contact sheet. I get nothing. I thought perhaps it was a corrupt installation, so I tried another Mac, but the same thing. I thought perhaps it was the vesion of CS5.5 (Design Standard) so I tried another Mac with Web Premium. Same thing. I vaguely remember reading something about some modules don't work for all localized versions yet, but I couldn't verify that anywhere.
If anyone could shed some light on this I would be really grateful.

That's why I thought it might have been a corrupt install, but it's the same on all our Macs, even the Web Premium edition.
You mean that you have bought different Suites and installed them on all you Macs and they all have the same issue? Are you working on files on a server or standalone?
Normally the advice would be to restart Bridge holding down option key and reset preferences, even combined with deleting the Bridge plist file but when it are different install disks on different Macs that is not likely to solve the problem.
Have you already contacted your software supplier?

    That's only in the mac version of photoshop elements.
    For windows, one can use the Organizer to print contact sheets

  • Contact sheet 2 for bridge CS5

    Contact Sheet 2 for Bridge has disappear from Bridge CS 5. Does someone know where I can get the plugin? Right know I have to go back to Bridge CS4 which is pretty annoying in my process. Thanks

    It did not disappear from CS5 but already from CS4 and has been replaced
    with the Output Module.
    Only downside of the Output Module is you can only save them as a PDF file
    but for the rest you have far more options to create your own customized
    template (and in CS5 save this templates) for far more superior contact
    sheets.
    You did already placed the old contact script in the CS4 edition by
    yourself. There is a workaround to get it again in CS5 only you have to use
    PSCS5 in 32-bit mode because the old and long ago discontinued Contact Sheet
    script is not compatible with the 64 bit mode PSCS5 is written in.
    Find your CS4 Contactsheet plugin (Apllications / PSCS4 / Plug-ins/Automate/
    ContactSheetII.plugin) and copy this to the same path in CS5
    Wiith PSCS5 closed select the application icon and choose get info. Inhere
    put a checkmark in front of 'start in 32 bit mode'.

    To be honest, I was not pleased either first time they dropped
    ContactSheetII. But after heaving explored the Output Module in Bridge and
    getting used to it's nice options I really don't want to go back to the old
    script...

  • Contact Sheet Option Missing

    Can anyone think of a reason why neither my Photoshop CS4 nor my Bridge CS4 has the Contact Sheet option under Automate (PS) or Tools (Bridge).
    I'm using an Intel MacBook.
    The option on my IMac G5.

    …Contact Sheet II is in "File/Automate" in CS4
    Only if you installed it there yourself as per the link provided.  It's no longer part of the default CS4 installation, but comes separately:

  • Why did Adobe get rid of making nice neat PDF contact sheets directly in Bridge??

    I know there is an output module, but it is not really any help! It still uses photoshop to create multiple seperate PSD files and takes forever! It is VERY important at my job to make contact sheets, we need them to go through hundreds of pictures. Why can't you just bring back making it straight in Bridge? It was so much faster and convenient. I cannot afford to wait while Photoshop generates 50 pages of 8 thumbnails for me as it ties up my computer, not to mention the steps to convert those files into one nice pdf. It is incredibly frustrating!  Just makes no sense Adobe would do this??

    Not sure I understand your problem but I guess you have Bridge CC and now you don't have the option to use the Adobe Output Module? The output module you are talking about is the old contact sheet script that indeed produces loose sheets (PSD, but also jpeg) and can take a while depending on your settings.
    But you still have the option to install the Output Module for Bridge CC again, but you have to do it yourself, it can be downloaded via this link but you should first read the instructions carefully because it needs some attention. With the Output module you can use Bridge again to create PDF documents with many pages and custom lay out.:

  • Why did Adobe drop contact sheets in Adobe bridge?

    The export to contact sheet was one of the better features of Bridge. Why would adobe remove this feature? It is extremely frustrating.

    Well, you are not addressing Adobe here in the user forum.
    We can offer solutions and workarounds, but we can never explain why Adobe does anything.  As my astronomy professor used to say a half a century ago, " I cannot explain the universe to you:  I can only describe it to you."
    There's some talk about the Pixel Bender, previously codenamed Hydra, a programming language created by Adobe Systems for the description of image processing algorithms, on which it was based was just causing too many headaches
    Just a clarification:

  • What happened to Contact Sheets in Adobe Bridge CC

    Can you explain the reason why you can not create a contact sheet in Bridge CC? I know you can select all and bring the files into Photoshop and then create a CS, but this takes up too much RAM. Why did Adobe get rid of the output panel in Bridge CC. I teach Photoshop at a local college and would like to know Adobe's rationale as I prepare for a new workflow for my students.
    Thanks in advance,
    Cheryl

    Hi,
    I found these:
    1 - Click on the triangle next to Output Workspace and from that menu choose "reset workspace" (works for Win as well)
    2 - If still no result, quit Bridge and go to your user library. OSX specific instructions here: By default the directory is hidden, so choose menu Go in Finder and when you have the drop down menu in view press option key to reveal the user library. Then use this path: Application Support / Adobe / Bridge CC / Workspaces. In this folder find and delete the file called: "!!-$$$AdobeOutputModule.workspace".
    Let me know if you need the Win specific path.
    regards,
    steve

  • 64bit Contact sheet II in Bridge CS5

    Hello, Adobe....
    are you listening to anybody????
    MANY of us use the contact sheet II plugin every day... it is ridiculous to have to restart in 32 bit to use this....
    Do any of the developers of this app actually take photographs and deliver them to clients or editors???
    WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU THINKING???
    Has anyone started a petition to fix this?  I'm already pining for CS4 except that I need ACR updated... yes, once again I am starting to hate adobe
    tom

    Hello, Adobe....
    are you listening to anybody????
    As you might know or not, this is a user to user forum and if you want to address Adobe you should contact them directly.
    Besides that it is a well known fact that Adobe discontinued the development of the contact sheet script long ago, I believe with CS4 but the script for PS did not change since CS1 or even before as I try to recall.
    The replaced this with the Adobe Output Module (AOM) in Bridge itself (Workspace 'Output' or the rightest icon top left icon row in Bridge window) and in CS5 you have a lot of options to create a contact sheet to your own wishes. You can't save as jpeg but you can as a PDF.  In the AOM itself you can choose various settings but if you have Acrobat Pro you also can do a lot more with this contact sheet.
    AOM is still far from perfection but the difference between the first and the second version is huge, which you can't say from the Contact sheet script.
    As a service they still deliver the script as a Goodie but you really should give the AOM a second (or even maybe a first) look to explore it. I to was one of the people that did not like the discontinuing of the contact sheet script but that is for me long forgotten and I use the Output Module very often and always to satisfaction.
    As said, there is enough room for improvement for the AOM but since I got to know it a bit better I really don't have the need for the old script anymore, (and nor do my clients, designers and editors btw ).

  • CS5 Contact sheet II in bridge

    Wondering if anyone could help me make contact sheet II run from bridge in CS5 again. I'm on a PC and I noticed the other day it had disappeared under the tools /photoshop in bridge. I went back and re-installed the contact sheet folder and .jsx file back into the common folder files under adobe/photoshop but contact still wont work from bridge. Any ideas????  I'm running cs5 12.0.4 x32  and bridge 4.0.5.11

    Provided you installed the scripts in the right places according the directions in pdf that comes with the optional cs5 plugins, check in Bridge CS5
    under Edit>Preferences>Startup Scripts and see if the Contact Sheet II script is enabled.
    If the menu item is there in bridge check that the plugins themselves are actually installed.
    What version of windows are you using?

  • Contact sheet II in Bridge

    I added the Contact sheet II files to their locations, restarted Bridge and this is the message I get.

    I followed these instructions....................................
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS5\Adobe Photoshop
    Im not using a x64 system.
    The ability to create contact sheets and picture packages as a PDF presentation is now available in
    Adobe Bridge CS5 Output Module. We highly recommend creating your contact sheets and picture
    packages this way. If you would like to continue using the legacy ContactSheetII and/or Picture Package
    plug-ins, please follow these steps:
    1. From the PSCS5OptionalPlugins downloaded folder, drop the //<language>/Optional Plug-
    Ins/<Windows 32-bit or 64-bit>/ContactSheetII plug-in into the //Adobe Photoshop CS5/Plugins/
    Automate folder (this is for both Contact Sheet and Picture Package).
    2. From the PSCS5OptionalPlugins downloaded folder, drop the //<language>/Presets/Layouts folder
    into the //Adobe Photoshop CS5/Presets folder and restart Photoshop.
    Optional: To add this legacy functionality back into Bridge (as a menu item):
    1. From the PSCS5OptionalPlugins downloaded folder, drop the //<language>/Optional
    plugins/Bridge Startup Scripts/photoshop_contact_sheet_ii folder and the
    photoshop_contact_sheet_ii.jsx file into following locations and then restart Bridge.
    • Windows Vista and Windows 7: //Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS5/Adobe Photoshop/
    NOTE: Contact Sheet does not work on Mac 64-bit systems. Please launch Photoshop in 32-bits to
    enable functionality

  • File Automate Contact sheet option

    Where can I find FILE > Automate > Contact Sheet, in Photoshop Cs5    this option is available in earlier version, but I cant find in CS5

    It is no longer there by default, but feel free to use Bridge or install suitable scripts, including the old ones that still linger somewhere on the PS install DVD...

  • Can Contact Sheet II work in Photoshop CS5?

    I was able to download the Contact sheet II for Photos
    hop CS4 64 bit. Can it work in CS5? I can't find a dow
    nload for it.

    You wouldn't happen to be running a 64 bit system would you?  On a 64 bit system, you must keep in mind that there are two variants of Photoshop installed:  32 bit and 64 bit.
    Did you copy the 32 bit and 64 bit plugin into the proper Photoshop folders?
    On a 64 bit system, in order to use the Contact Sheet II plugin in both variants of Photoshop:
    This file:     Optional Plug-Ins\Win32\ContactSheetII.8LI
    Goes here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Automate
    This file:     Optional Plug-Ins\Win64\ContactSheetII.8LI
    Goes here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Automate
    This folder:  Presets\Layouts
    Goes here:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Presets
    And here:    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Presets

  • Why is the email option grayed out from iphoto sharing

    I am running iPhoto 9.5.1 on Mavericks.  When I select a photo and try to share it the share menu has email and all the social meida options grayed out.  Checking accounts in iPhoto my email accounts are there.  I tried deleting and reinserting the one I want to use and restarting iPhoto, but it is still grayed out.

    You need to update yoru profile - it says OS X 10.6.8
    In the iPhoto preferences select an email client (I personally prefer Mail) and if you are using iphoto enter your email information in teh accounts tab (If you use Mail it will use yuro existing sset up)
    Same for social media - enter your account information in the accounts tab

  • Editing file names on Contact Sheet created via bridge

    The text is overset on thecontact sheets I just made. Four hours into it and I do not want to start over. Maybe my head isn't working, but can I (and how?) change the font size on all these easily. Hoping someone can say "Of Course.... just do this..."

    Do a search and have the Find Format find the exact type size, font and leading used in the captions.
    Then go to the change format and chage it there.
