Create Contact Sheet Indesign Cs4 Serial 15

[Florine Nogoda]

Just as in Photoshop, InDesign gathers all the images and places them on apage, and inserts the filenames as captions under each image (Figure 12). Thereally astounding thing about this is that we can create our own templates onwhich to place our images, and create style sheets to format text. This would bea great way for photographers to personalize contact sheets for theirbusiness.


I make contact sheets of photographs regulary. Doing them in Indesign is preferred method as they sometimes get added to other layouts so need to be very editable. The Photoshop output is just kind of a pain since it is one big jpg file.

Strangely the images are not in alphabetical order. Any one know why this would be? I dont see anything in the dialouge box. This almost negates the automation as now I have to drag everyting into alpha order. Mulitple page contact sheets become really become a pain.


what I've showed you so far is just going in and placing files one by one. And I want to streamline the process a little more. I got a new client, They've just sent me over a whole bunch of images and I want to create a contact sheet for you people out there that are photographers way back in the day. A contact sheet is nothing more than a whole series of images on the page. So I'm gonna go under the file menu and choose place. But in this case, I'm going to go in and I want to place a lot of files. So I'm going to select a whole slew of files here all at once. I'm gonna hold down my shift key to select several files on a minute. Click open. Now I have my loaded cursor. It could take a few seconds for this to load all of my previews in, and there's my loaded cursor. And inside that loaded cursor, it has a number. That's the number of images I now have in mind Loaded cursor and I could go in and I just click and drag. Click and drag, click and drag and I can place all my files one at a ...


Good morning. There is a sample script in InDesign that I LOVE! It makes contact sheets much quicker (and using far less memory) than Photoshop or Bridge. If you have a hundred images and want to make a contact page, this script is the way to go. Much more efficient. The Script is the ImageCatalog under JavaScript samples in the Scripts window. This has always been available, and always worked very well until the last couple of updates. Now when I run it, it just sits there. If I try saving the images again (save a copy) or saving them as a different format (jpeg vs tiff or tiff vs jpeg), sometimes it works. Again - I LOVE this script, and wish you would just make it a regular feature. Is there something I should be doing with my images before I run the script?


I use InDesign 5.5 to craft presentations. I would like to provide a "contact sheet" of the slides to my audience, containing 4 or 6 slides per page. I cannot figure out how to either (1) export it from InDesign with multiple slides per page; or (2) create a contact sheet from a PDF file in Acrobat. If clumsy MS PowerPoint is capable of this very simple task, surely Adobe products are as well. Thanks!


Try:

[From InDesign] Send your multiple-page document to print.

[From Print Window] Choose: "Setup" > check "Thumbnails" Indicate how many "Per Page." Options include 1x2, 2x2, thru 7x7.

Send to print on Printer or a PDF printer.

If you want a bit more control over the final look of your contact sheet:

1. Export your slides (or any multiple-page document) as a normal [non-thumbnailed] PDF. Let's call your slide show Doc A.

2. Create a new InDesign document and lay it over with evenly-spaced boxes as you would like your contact sheet to look. (Select Rectangle Frame Tool, click and drag, keep your mouse held down, then use up/down left/right keyboard keys to create more/less multiple uniformly-sized boxes.) Let's call this Doc B, your contact sheet.

4. Insert/Place the pages of your Doc A slide show PDF into your new picture boxes in Doc B, your contact sheet. Ready to print.

5. When you later update your slide show Doc A, export again as PDF of same name.

6. Reopen Doc B your contact sheet and "Update Links." Slides will update. Ready to print.


The Create InDesign Contact Sheet command is a great way to automate contact sheet, photo album, catalog and coffee-table book production with either InDesign CS2 or CS3. Since the Create InDesign Contact Sheet "command" is really a Bridge script, its features are largely undocumented. That is where my article is useful.


Jean-Claude, I'm sure I could modify the Script to not include the extra frame, but I just haven't had the time to try it. Without modifying the script, I'm afraid you are stuck with the extra frames. Keep in mind that my "Delete Empty Frames" script will remove the extra frames after the contact sheet is created. This doesn't exactly address your problem I realize, because the spacing is still off to accomodate the extra frame.






I'm trying to make a contact sheet of InDesign snip-its. Bridge will show me thumbnails of the snip-its, but when I select them and choose the create contact sheet in InDesign command, it tells me that no files selected are the correct type. Any way to fix this?


Jason, the script would need to be modified significantly to work with .inds (InDesign Snippet) files. Snippet files cannot be "placed" in a frame, they appear on the page as a collection of InDesign objects. So the script doesn't know what to do with them.

As a photographer, organizing and showcasing your work can be a daunting task. One effective way to simplify this process is by creating a contact sheet.

A well-designed contact sheet not only showcases your images but also makes it easier for others to view and appreciate your work. Here are some tips to help you create effective contact sheets that stand out:


Consistency is key when creating a contact sheet. Ensure that your layout, thumbnail size, and spacing are uniform throughout the contact sheet. This will help your viewer focus on the images without getting distracted by inconsistencies in your presentation.


Less is more when it comes to contact sheets. Keep your design simple and clean, allowing your images to be the center of attention. Avoid using too many colors, fonts, or design elements that may detract from the impact of your photos.


By incorporating these tips into your contact sheet creation process, you'll produce a professional and polished presentation that showcases your photography skills and makes it easier for clients and collaborators to appreciate your work.


I am building an application that does this in ID CS2 right now, as well as a more traditional image catalog (contact sheet), as well as a sheet of Randoms (Art Gangs) placed at 100% (or as close to that as the page size will allow), and plan to have an alpha version ready soon with a minimal user interface. Last night I think I worked out one of the last actual problems with placing the images at 100%, or rather scaling those that are too large to fit on the selected page size so that they do fit. I will post more information tonight or tomorrow.


While the column of spreads down the left hand side of the (default) Affinity workspace is quite helpful, is there a way to have a "contact sheet"-like display that I could at the least, export to PDF for discussion, planning, purposes? It would be helpful to drop those wee images (scalable) onto an 11x17 sheet to share, print, mark-up as the layout of a newsletter/ magazine is discussed.
