batch Printing in Photoshop ????

[Stemmy]

If I have 20 images open in photoshop simultaneously is there something I can do to batch print them all.

The reason is I do contact sheets for my weddings so I end up with around 15 separate images open on my screen. Currently I have to do File - Print - OK for each document. I was wondering if there was a way to automate this. Even if it meant saving the images to a file and batch printing the file.

Please help this is really frustrating.

Hmmmm don't think you can...

Don't know any software that would let you do that.

[tonymidd]

Can't you put them all in a folder and use

File>Automate>Contact sheetII and set the number of coloums and rows you want.

This is what Im saying Tony - I have created contact sheets and want to print them all at the same time instead of waiting for one to print then printing the next.

I have 15 contact sheets open on my photoshop desktop - I want to print all 15 sheets - do I have to do them all individually.

What you need is a 'rip'.

These are usually stand alone programs replacing the print functions that you use now.
They allow you to send images on mass or, if you want to work and print at the same time, send each image to the rip when its ready.

Here's a link - you may have to search a bit more - I have seen cheaper.

There is a list of compatable printers.

I use Image Hunter from Fuji for my Epson 9600.

Hope that helps

if you are going to save them, why not save them as jpgs, then open them in windows explorer, highlighting them and then right click and print. I know it is a bit of a b**lache saving them, but it at least lets you print them en mass.

Thats it !!!!!

Saving them isn't a problem I have actions set up for all that sort of thing - takes 2 seconds.

Wow I never new all that section of windows existed - batch printing.

redbeard - YOUR THE MAN !!!!!

Thanks a lot !!!

I use iView MediaPro to do my contacts. Lets you add headers and footers and prints all of them in one operation. Just do Ctrl+P on the open catalogue.:coffee:

Can you not save hem in a particular folder and create an action to print a file. Then you can do a batch process on that file and print all the pages.
