How to create Web Photos
Here's How:
- Prepare your photos for the Web by rotating, cropping, resizing, and color correcting, if necessary. Refer to the related information in the links below for tips on prepping your pictures.
- Places the photos you want to include in the gallery in a folder on your hard drive.
- Choose an empty folder or create a new one to use as a destination folder for the files created by the Photo Gallery command.
- Open Photoshop.
- Choose File > Automate > Web Photo Gallery to open the photo gallery dialog screen.
- Next to Source, click the "choose" button and select the folder containing your images. If the folder contains sub-folders with images you want to include, check the box to include subdirectories.
- Next to Destination, click the "choose" button and select the empty folder from Step 3.
- In the Site Name field, type a title that will appear on all the pages of your gallery. This is the text that also appears in the title bar when the page is viewed in a Web browser.
- If desired, fill in the Phototographer and Date fields. This information will also appear on the Web pages if it's filled in.
- In the Thumbnails section, choose a size for the thumbnails. The choices are: Large (100 pixels maximum), Medium (75 pixels maximum), and Small (50 pixels maximum).
- The Resize Gallery Images section is only required if you want to change the dimensions or compression setting for the full-size images. If you already prepped your photos in Step 1, this section can be left alone.
- Click OK in the photo gallery dialog.
- Your Photo Gallery should automatically launch in your Web browser.
Tips:
- Photoshop creates an index.htm file and individual folders for images, pages, and thumbnails and places them in the destintion directory.
- The destination folder can be uploaded to your Web server as-is, or opened in an HTML editor for further editing. The UserSelections.txt file is not required and can be deleted.
- You can replace the home.gif, next.gif, and previous.gif icons with your own images. If you use custom icons of a different size, however, you'll need to change the height and width attributes in your HTML files.
- You may want to rename all your photos with a informative file name before creating your photo gallery. See the links below for more information.
- Photoshop creates an individual page for each picture rather than linking directly to the image. This provides easier navigation and allows you to customize the page.
