No picture package in plugin download for CS5

[TerryLn22]

I'm supposed to download the plugin to do picture packages, except.... there's no "picture package" in the download. I see presets and everything else, just.... no "picture package" as described in the instructions. I'm on win10 if that makes a difference.

The optional CS5 plugin downloads are here: Downloadable plug-ins | Photoshop CS5

Picture Package aka Contactsheet: Mac OS 32 bit only/Windows 32 and 64 bit.

"Picture package" is not in the download. I'm wondering if the instructions are calling it by a different name.

"Contact Sheet"?

[TerryLn22]

No. Contact sheets are, well, contact sheets. I'm looking for "picture package", where you could select say 1) 8x10, 2) 5x7's, and 4 wallet size photos and it crops them all for you.

From the enclosed PDF:

The ability to create contact sheets and picture packages as a PDF presentation is now available in

Adobe Bridge CS5 Output Module. We highly recommend creating your contact sheets and picture

packages this way. If you would like to continue using the legacy ContactSheetII and/or Picture Package

plug-ins, please follow these steps:

1. From the PSCS5OptionalPlugins downloaded folder, drop the //<language>/Optional Plug-

Ins/<Windows 32-bit or 64-bit>/ContactSheetII plug-in into the //Adobe Photoshop CS5/Plugins/

Automate folder (this is for both Contact Sheet and Picture Package).

2. From the PSCS5OptionalPlugins downloaded folder, drop the //<language>/Presets/Layouts folder

into the //Adobe Photoshop CS5/Presets folder and restart Photoshop.

This is still the wrong information, as "Picture Package" doesn't exist in the download. Therefore, it cannot be dropped anywhere.

[gener7 · Accepted solution]

It instructs you to install Contact Sheet II plugin and the Layout folder which contains the standard photo sizes.

Follow the instructions and you should have Picture Package functions.

gener7, You hit the nail on the head. The instructions were talking about dropping in the "picture package", and there's no "picture package to drop in! But "Layout" is what's needed to ALLOW Photoshop to be able to make picture packages. They have it worded very bad. Thanks!

I'll admit they should be clear on that, but as I don't own CS5, all I had to go on was the plugin pdf. Glad it's all fixed.

I have tried this and it still will not work, when I hit picture package or contact sheet it just locks up my entire program. I went from CS4 to CS 5.. Nothing seems to work to get it back in there
