contact sheet?

[christophery76280259]

I have watched so many videos, my lightroom looks like none of the lightrooms in the dozen or so videos. There is words across the top like everyone elses. No print. I went thruough every part of this program, there is no print and there is no option anywhere to make a contact sheet.

So how do i make a contact sheet?

Even the video on adobe tutorials does not help me.

my Lightroom doesn't say Classic or CC... it just says Adobe Photoshop Lightroom v.5.1

does this mean I can't print contact sheets from Lightroom?

CC hasn't been used as a name for several years. 

Lightroom Desktop (which you have) does not have print functionality. You need Lightroom Classic - currently 11.1 in order to print.

what is the difference between Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Desktop?... do I need both? can i uninstall Desktop to use classic...though I found a way to do contact sheets in photoshop...

it is very weird to have 2 released versions of Lightroom... 

you said that I have Lightroom Desktop and I need Lightroom Classic...

so I went to Creative Cloud to get Lightroom Classic and it's description is:

"Desktop focused photo editing app

So if Lightroom Classic is the Desktop focused photo editing app, what the heck is Lightroom Desktop for???

Makes no sense...

Your confusion is universally felt with many others.

what the heck is Lightroom Desktop for???

"Lightroom" is the name for the 'Mobile / ecosystem / Cloud' versions of the App. Designed for 'mobile' devices.

"Lightroom" has also been written to work on PCs and Mac computers (mobile laptops?)-

When this 'Cloud' version is used on a PC or Mac, it is referred to as "Lightroom-Desktop".

Now even my explanation is confusing!!

I'm sure you've figured this out by now, but for anyone who hasn't, you can make contact sheets using Bridge.
