In the meantime, here is a solution I found on, via member Robert Chura: I refuse to load multiple versions of PS on my laptop, life is too short. Is anybody moderating this page? Where is the contact sheet video? Also, the link to John Eakin’s CSX script (above) takes us to a webpage that has a broken link to the download server.

I’m used to keeping every single version of Photoshop installed anyway, since nowadays making a good image requires the use of 3 different versions simultaneously. They really thought the Quick Selection tool, which is just another Magic Wand, will do a better job. Isn’t this what Photoshop was all about in the beginning anyway? Letting people do something in 100 different ways! They also removed the Extract feature as well. No it’s not faster! Please stop removing features from Photoshop. This does it in 12 seconds but then requires me to open it in some fancy application that takes 3 minutes to load, then to save it as a JPEG, open it in Photoshop, then save it AGAIN for the third time. What was so wrong with outputting to any file format you want? Like a JPEG? What’s wrong with JPEGs? What if I want to draw little arrows on the contact sheet to compare images? I can’t do that! I don’t see how this is faster. I swear I haven’t tampered with the layout or anything else.Īnd I hate PDFs, you can’t copy and paste them into documents, they’re annoying and you can’t really edit them. If I go to the little sheet icon at the top left and click on Output to Web or PDF, nothing happens. A better, more advanced version is available from Russell Brown.When I go to Output in Bridge CS4, there is no panel on the right side. A simple one comes as default with Photoshop. Also, no colorspace or bit depth conversions unless you tell it to.

Flat files or complex layered files with alpha channels. But, for example, when ACR opens an 8bit jpeg in sRGB mode it converts it to 16bit and the Melissa/ProPhoto colorspace, then converts it again to whatever you specify when you save. Also, using ACR forces the image through some colorspace and bit depth conversions. Using ACR to Save images in a new format (or resized) only works on "flat" images.
