The advantage of displaying your images in a Web gallery (compared to simply constructing one humongous page that shows all the images at their full file size) is that viewers with slower Internet connections don’t have to wait for all the images to download. Even visitors with fast Internet connections will appreciate not being inundated with a flood of images. To create your Web gallery, follow these steps:
1. Collect the images you want to display in a single folder on your hard drive.
You may want to deposit copies of your images, leaving the originals untouched.
2. Open the first image in Photoshop and make any changes that you want.
For example, you may want to correct the colors or crop the images.
3. Save the image.
Save your images in a size that displays well on the Web (not too big, not too small) and in a Web-friendly file format, such as JPEG or GIF. You may even want to use the Save for Web feature in order to optimize your images for the best Web display.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for each image.
5. Open the Web Photo Gallery tool by choosing File-->Automate-->Web Photo Gallery.
The Web Photo Gallery dialog box opens.
6. From the Styles drop-down list, choose one of the standard styles, such as Horizontal Slide Show (which arranges the images as a slide show) or Centered Frame (which arrays them in a vertical format).
A preview of the Web Gallery style you select is shown in the window on the right side of the dialog box. Some styles show thumbnail previews of your images, which visitors can click to view the larger originals. Or you can select a slide-show style that cycles through the available images at intervals.
Advanced users with knowledge of HTML can create their own custom Web Photo Gallery styles by creating an HTML template and storing it inside the styles folder. Customize by editing the HTML code or by creating an entirely new style. Store the template in the following paths: Program Files/Adobe/PhotoshopCS/ Presets/Web Photo Gallery for Windows and Adobe PhotoshopCS/Presets/Web Photo Gallery for Mac.
7. If you want your e-mail address to appear on your Web page, enter it in the E-Mail text box.
8. In the Source Images area, click the Browse button (or the Choose button on the Mac) and navigate to the folder containing your images. Click OK (or Choose on the Mac) to select it.
Select the Include All Subfolders option if you have nested folders.
9. Click the Destination button and choose a folder for Photoshop to deposit the files it creates for your Web Photo Gallery.
The destination folder must be different from the source folder.
10. From the Options drop-down list, select an option and enter the information required.
The dialog box changes as you move from option to option.
11. Click OK to tell Photoshop to create your Web page(s).
Photoshop creates your Web page and loads it into your browser.
12. Upload your Web gallery to your Internet Web page hosting service by following your usual procedures.
Check with your ISP for details on how to do this.
