I bought a program called ImageBuddy just to create contact sheets. I'd like to use Contact Sheet II in CS, since you can customze everything...BUT...
This is huge...I routinely create contact sheets of 500+ images. Photoshop takes FOREVER to create them and it keeps the canvas open as it creates. By the time it's finished, my system has come to a crawl, it's a miracle it doesn't just crash.
Is there anyway to save the pages as they are created, freeing up system resources? ImageBuddy will let you set up all the parameters for a contact sheet and then create it as ONE PDF using OS-X's output options. Seems Adobe has really dropped the ball on this one?
I have only had my CS4 for three days. The first time I used it I had access to the Contact Sheet in the File>Automate list. Today it is no longer there. I rebooted the computer and it still is not there. What gives? Everything else seems ok, except it wants me to upgrade my video card, which I did before I installed CS4. My video card is an Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT.
I have Photoshop CS4 Extended trial version and was looking for the option "Contact Sheet", normally was under EDIT>BATCH>CONTACT SHEET, but no longer their.Does CS4 not support this anymore or is it hidden/called something else? Thank
I'm trying to make up a proof sheet of photos from a wedding i recently shot for my clients, and am trying to use Contact Sheet II automate function to produce it. It makes the proof sheet just fine, however, what I am not able to do is edit the text colour or style of the caption of each photo.
For instance, i'd like my photos to be on a black background, but because the caption text is also black, it's not legible.
I've got 32 PSD files of a customers paintings that we use to make greeting cards. She just turned 100 last week and her daughter in law came in to pick some up and asked if we could make a sheet with small versions of the paintings on them with the file names so that she can remember them. She thought we only had 5. I told her we have more like 30. So the old lady doesn't know what we do and don't have here.
Since they are Photoshop files, I can't just toss em into iPhoto to create a contact sheet. I guess I could do a batch convert to JPG on all of them and then drop those into iPhoto but is there a way to do this within Photoshop? just open up all 32 PSD files and create some sort of a contact sheet with file names under each image? Maybe 6 to a page?
i had previously used contact sheet from both Bridge and CS6 with Windows 7 and never had a problem. i purchased a new machine with Windows 8 64 bit and get an error when trying to use contact print with either Bridge orcCS6 Photoshop. i have upgraded my version of cs3 to the most recent and still have a problem.
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. I'm running cs5 12.0.4 x32 and bridge 4.0.5.11
I am having trouble making a "contact sheet"; one page that will display 2,4,6,8 or 12 images culled from my desktop file of images. The old Photoshop had a very easy system that allowed me to drop images into a pre-set contact sheet.
I have many images in a large hierarchical directory tree. I would like to be able to automate the building of contact sheets for those folders. I would also like the contact sheet to contain information about the path that was processed. Is there a way to call the contact sheet tool recursively? Is there away to get the contact sheet tool to embed text about the folder?
I need to put together a contact sheet and I'm trying to use PS to put it together.
When I put the page together everything works fine. But it adds numbers to the file names. Like if you look at the garter snake picture you can see where it added #fdbed....I didn't put that there! I can't get rid of it either. When PS puts the file together it flattens all layers. I could turn off the file names but I need to have them there for reference.
Just installed CS4 and was checking to make sure all the things I use on a regular basis is there. It seems that the Contact Sheet II has been removed. I found it up here on the download extra plug-in page but still didn't show up when I downloaded the plug-in. Thought I installed them correctly, but maybe not. Need this badly, use it for printing out thumbnails of all photo shoots.
I've a shed load of Illustrator 9 EPS files that I want to have contact sheets of.
I thought the most obvious (and quickest) way to do this would be to go throught Photoshop's Contact Sheet command.
The problem I have is that although all the EPS files are pure vector, Photoshop somehow manages to bitmap them horrendously. I've played around with the size and resolution of the page and to open the files at but with no success.
I would like to use the contact sheet and save instead of print. I see you can use it almost like a template in the Mac version, but in the PC version all you can do is print.
Lets suppose I have 3 camera images and I want to run either save for web applications on 2 cameras at the same time, how/can i do that to save time or lets say contact sheet action on 1 and save for web on the other to save time or Photoshop files and this runs in the background?
We're currently using CS5 and have InDesign CS2 + Adobe Bridge CS2 loaded on one computer. We use this instance for it's contact sheet feature. It appears that something similar to this is in Adobe CS6 via Photoshop, but when I create a contact sheet, it doesn't appear to auto fit the caption on the page as it did in CS2. This results in ellipsis's at the end of all our captions.
Is there a way to fix this? If not, we can't upgrade this instance.
[CS4 bridge and PS] Is there some way to get a textured bkground when using the tools availabe in bridge at: Windows/workspace/output ? I see an area where I can set a color bkground (Document/background) but seem only possible to set solid colors.
way two print 2-sided contact sheets? We use a phaser 8200 for cantact sheets witch can print two sided but i can't seem to find a way two get this done in a effient way. Idealy it would be nice to tell photoshop two print all open contact sheets and just be able two sit it two print them 2 sided instead of individualy.
