To publish your photos on the web or place them on a CD as HTML pages, create a Web Gallery. A web gallery is a web page with thumbnails and full-size images.
To generate a web gallery
- Create a new slide show
project or
open an existing one.
- Select the Tools menu and click Web Gallery.
- On the General tab, select a base folder where you want to save your
web galleries.
Select the Create in subfolder checkbox if you want the program to save the
web gallery files in a subfolder inside the selected base folder.
Under Web Gallery Style, select a style for the gallery.
- On the Images tab, select the Resize slide images checkbox
if you want the program to make slide images smaller.
If your source images have a resolution (in pixels) larger than the one you indicate in the New size selector, MySlideShow will resize them. Smaller images will be kept in their original sizes.
- On the Thumbnails tab, select the number of rows and columns for
the thumbnail table (only for styles having a table layout) and the width and
height of the thumbnail.
- On the Banner tab, enter the title of the gallery, author name,
contact info and the date. If you click on the button at the right, the
program will use the current date automatically.
- Click on the Start button.
- After the creation process is completed, click on the Explore button to open the folder that the web gallery was created in. To open the web gallery in your web browser, double-click on the index.htm file.
Notes
- The program saves web gallery images and thumbnails in JPEG format.
- The Rotation parameter and sounds aren't applicable to Web Galleries.
Publishing a web gallery
When you've created your web gallery, you may want to display (publish) it on the World Wide Web. Publishing a web gallery is basically copying the files to a destination, such as a Web server, where others can browse the web.
You can use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or some other ways to copy your webs gallery. Create a new folder on your web server (web page) and copy the contents of the web gallery folder (including the Images, Slides, Thumbnails and WebImages subfolders) there. Then you can send the web link to the gallery to your partners and friends. The link may look like:
http://www.mywebserver.com/mygallery1/index.htm
where:
mywebserver.com = your web server, mygallery1
= the folder on your
web server, index.htm = the web page that the program created.
