Note - if you're using CS2,3,4,or 5, it will be:

.../Bridge CS[your version here] Extensions

warning - it's a pretty complex script (I wrote it). You are welcome to try to modify it.

A question - what do you want it to do that it doesn't??

The Contact Sheet script was included in the Suite for CS2 and CS3. After CS3, Adobe decided not to include it going forward. I have maintained and upgraded the script for the newer suite versions.

You can find CS4 and 5 versions at www.creativescripting.net

I do have a CS5.5 version (same price as the CS5 version), but it's not posted to the site yet. Ask me for it via email if you need 5.5

That's the way I feel about it. The code for that beast is complex to say the least. I haven't updated the UI much because of the effect it would have on some of the most complex parts of the code (especially the validation).

I did change the way rectangles were drawn in the CS5 version. It used to be "draw all rects and then place images", now it's "draw, place, repeat until done. That was done to help make the template feature more powerful. Regardless, the rectangle drawing part is now a bit easier to follow.

Thanks!

Tom,

I have to tell you that those changes are non-trivial. I've wanted to add the dimension feature myself, and haven't because of the amount of work involved. But then I'd have to do something generic (inches, mm, cm...), and come up with a way to do it in the existing UI with minor changes. It certainly can be done, but it won't be easy.

I've got the CS2 and CS4 versions here. Not the CS3...

I think the CS3 version included the metadata options in the ContactSheet script itself (if so, it would be around line 2900 (I don't have the exact line number).

If it's not there, it's in WasScriptLibrary3.jsx

The captions are compiled in Bridge, and then sent to ID via BridgeTalk. You'll probably want to do your magic where the captions are put together. See ContactSheet.parseCaption(). That's the function I call up at the top around line 95 (give or take) that generates the caption for the individual image based on the caption template the user creates in the UI.

Hope that helps.

Bob

Tom,

Use BridgeTalk. Open the image in Ps, get the layer count (and anything else you might find interesting), and return it to ID.
