From the Share menu you can
Create a Web Gallery. Click to view a larger
size of these three thumbnails.
There are 40 Web Gallery templates from which to
choose. Many are not useful for professional
photographers because they are more geared for
'family photo' sharing as they are often too 'cute'.
I would have liked to see a greater variety of
simpler templates or a way to place a gallery on a
prebuilt custom page.
This Side by Side choice is
quite plain and simple. When actually viewing the
gallery you scroll through and click the thumbnails
on the left and the larger version of the photo is
displayed on the right. If you're building galleries
for the internet you will be able to make changes
within the code view.
As you can see there are tabs on the left side
for choosing Templates or Adjustments.
Adjustments for Backgrounds
include Miscellaneous, Patterns, Solid Colors and
Textures. Adjustments for Text
Colors include colors for Text, Links and
Visited Links.
Here's another template example for the gallery
to play automatically - a java script is generated.
(This also shows the dialog for Background Solid
Colors.) After you have imported the folder of
images and dependent files into FrontPage or
Dreamweaver you can work with the page code view to
set some of the parameters of your presentation.
Final comments:
I'm very excited about the capabilities of
Jasc's Paint Shop Pro Album. Even though I
have the a full version of Paint Shop Pro v.8.1, I
know the program will be very useful in
browsing my numerous folders of photos, making slide
shows and even Quick Time movies. I highly recommend
it for someone who doesn't necessarily want to spend
upwards to $100 for the full version of Paint Shop
Pro, Photoshop Elements 2 or Ulead's PhotoImpact.
Ulead's Photo Explorer is the program that best
offers the same capabilities as PSP Album and the
one I used until now. Amateur photographers will
find all the tools they need for organizing,
enhancing and sharing their photos.
