Contact Sheet X v2.1 works very well. But I can't find a way to increase the spacing between the captions and the images (I have a screenshot available, if helpful). They're practically touching. About one pixel of white space between. From time to time I need to move elements of the proof sheet. The dialog box for Contact Sheet X v2.1 doesn't appear to have anything to control the distance between caption and image. Am I missing a solution? Using Photoshop 2014 CC, Mac OSX 10.9.5. Thank you!

I haven't looked at this code in a few years, but I may be able to provide a setting in the script to increase the gap between the thumbnail and the caption. I'll try to get this taken care of in a day or two.
Here's an answer:
On the Layout panel, make sure that Use Auto-Spacing is selected.
On the Advanced panel, set the autospaceFactor to 2 or more. This is a less than ideal solution but it does work.
I'll add a constant in the script that you can set to manually modify the the caption/image gap and post up an updated rev along with a description of how to use it unless I can come up with a better solution.
Thank you for taking a look at this. A separate control for it would be greatly appreciated, when you're able to tackle it. I used your Advanced autospaceFactor method and got the results in the 3 attachments. Although it increases the gap between photo and caption, each thumbnail also shrinks a bit. That'll throw off my PS Action I use to tidy up after using CSX. I could always write another, but I would welcome the addition of a separate control. I'll keep an eye out for when you're able to do it. Mucho thanko!
I just uploaded a fix for the caption/thumbnail gap tweak you requested. Details
are in the ReadMe.text file
(along with release packages) found here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ps-scripts/files/ContactSheetX/v2.1.1/
Note that for portrait images, the will be a slight decrease in size; I had to
get the need space from somewhere. However, this
will only have an effect on portrait and square thumbnails; landscape images
should not be effected as they were
when using autospaceFactor.
I hope this works for you as it's the only thing I can think of to achieve what
you want.
