Then next pull down menu allows you to specify .htm or .html extensions. Now we’ll click ‘browse’ button and locate your image source folder. Click ‘destination’ folder. This folder should be located somewhere in you website folder. If you don’t have one, make one. ‘Options’ is, again an area that Adobe seems far more thorough that Dreamweaver. The ‘options’ menu let’s you specify every aspect of your photo album…size of small thumbnails, size of large thumbnails, add custom colors to better tie into your corporate scheme. Remember to complete ‘site name’, ‘photographer’, textfields tactfully; this is what tells search engine what your subject matter deals with. Are you ready now? Go ahead click OK. Like magic your photo album manufacturing itself. This is a great tool that can be used commercially or just for fun. Create commercial product pages for your clients or create an online photo album for family and friends in minutes. Robert

optimized for web. What is best way to create a Photo Album from so many images? Again let's refer to my favorites for this, Macro Media or Adobe? I work with both for different projects and really can't pick a favorite here! They are both excellent applications for this. Macromedia Dreamweaver has a function found under commands>create photo album, shown here http://www.weprintcolors.com/screens/screen_dw_create_photo.htm. You will need Fireworks installed for this to work. Go ahead and fill in all text fields that are required information shown here http://www.weprintcolors.com/screens/screen_dw_create_photo_menu.htm.It is important you take time to craft your words carefully, especially in first field as this text is written into every html file generated. Check appropriate format, rows and columns etc. Check box for file names on or off and check box on for, 'create navigation page for each photo'. OK that's it you're ready to fire away, click OK. Amazing, eh? Well I am kind of busy right now working on my next project. In my next post I will talk about same process of creating a web based photo album using Adobe Photoshop for entire process.
