Contact Sheet without layer mask

I am new to photoshop and trying to use contact sheet II from automate in order create a mosaic in Photoshop CS5 (Windows 7 64 bit). I have downloaded the optional plugins and installed them successfully.

When I try to generate the contact sheet with below settings, I am not seeing layer mask attached to each image. Do I need to enable any other settings to get layer mask for each image?

Scripting did not change much between CS5 and CS6.   Try downloading a CS6 trial and copy the CS6 contact shee II script to you CS5 Scripts presets

If you do not use Contact sheet II Flatten option, auto spacing and labeling options you may get the  mosaic you want. However, if you did not first process all your image to be the same size and aspect ratio. The mosaic produced may not be what you want.  Contac sheet II is design to preserve your images aspect ration and  resize them to fit within the rows and columns you set on the paper size  and print resolution you specify.

My Paste Image Roll script is designed to resize you image to print a particular size on roll paper.  Image are resize for the print Tile size and mask to the tile size specified for mismatch aspect ratios,  Once created images composition can be tweaked y moving the layers content within its unlinked layer mask.  Compare these two mosaics.

Thanks for the resize idea JJMack I am facing the problem with the layer mask. I am not sure why there is no layer mask created for each image when they're added. If the layer mask is added to each image then my problem is solved. Seems like contact sheet II does not create layer mask on CS5.

    Thanks for your prompt response Muqqarib Hassan

    I am following similar settings if you check the image but still, there are no layer masks created for each image. It just adds the image without layer mask. Not sure why only images are loading.

    Hi, I appreciate it. If I am not wrong. I think we cannot create the contact sheet with layer mask.
