P: Please bring Picture Package back

I too got frustrated when I first upgraded and used it 20-50 times a day, but the new method makes you change your work flow a bit but is truly as easy. If you send me an email I can send you a mock up of 8-wallets, 2-4x5s and 4 wallets or 4-4x5. Keep in mind you loose a bit on the wallets sizes verse normal size wallets but if you have been using Picture Package then your customers are used to the change already.

I use photoshop Picture Package 2 or 3 times a day,
I do passport pictures with them.... why would Adobe not allow it in CC???? it's crazy... I'll cancel cloud and go back to what works?

Sorry to say Dan that as far as I know the picture package method is history. If you read through this thread you can (fairly easily) set up a photo shop file that uses smart objects. There is a learning curve and you might need to change the work flow you currently use. A pain but in my opinion, it is as easy if not easier than before. If you like I can send you some of the ones I use (I have created 4 of them), just let me know. Good Luck

How do I download 'picture package' to an iMac using CS6? and why is it that Adobe keeps doing dumb things like eliminating features that numerous people use daily - right now I am continuing to use CS3 on a PC so that I can use this feature...

Paul I saw your note and it is great that you got it to work. I almost went to the link to get it up and running. I suspect that at some point it may not be possible. Changing to the use of smart images isn't that bad and that fixes the issue for everything in the future.

I run Picture Package with Photoshop CS6 64bit (Windows)
To install download the Photoshop CS5 Optional Plugins from...
http://www.adobe.com/support/download...
Follow the instructions to install.
Then remove the ContactSheetII.jsx from the applications preset/scripts folder.

N.B. This is WINDOWS ONLY.

Doing this fixs the problem of creating your own contact sheet via scripting.

Great! Thanks for the reply. I would really appreciate it if you could email it to me at ledeane@hotmail.com I really don't know where to find instructions for this and it is really obvious Adobe doesn't monitor this blog. So thanks very much! jc

I too struggled when I first upgraded as you can note on my comment about a year ago. I have found however that I just needed to get comfortable and change my work flow using the smart images. It took a bit (hour) or so to understand but it works well and I have since set up one for 8 Wallets (note not exact size but based on 8x10 reduction - hope that makes sense to you), one for 2 - 4x5s with 4 wallets, one for 4 - 4x5s. I print on 8 1/2 X 11 paper on an Epson 3880. I was going to upload it here but if I see it correctly it isn't allowed, only pics.

I can not export individual layers to Lightroom so how do I print these directly from Photoshop like I have always done in previous versions?

Well here we are again. I sent a follow up to Adobe about this thread and comments. They called me yesterday after I left, this morning I called back and were again told that they removed it in CS6, like they never read my comments. I have tried the Smart Image process and it works well but you need to open the file to create a package from an image and that cannot work using an action or at least I don't know how to.

They suggested I go to Adobe.com and fill out a Feature Request form. Ultimately I ended up back here ... so here is the request for Photoshop to bring back the Picture Package feature, I guess this is the form???
