What happened to "Simple Web Photo Gallery" Automation in Photoshop

Hi - I have used Photoshop's automation tool to make a simple web photo gallery for at least 10 years.  I have built a business out of displaying photos that way for clients.  i do a few things in the HTML but mostly that function of putting them all in a gallery in nice simple columns was of major use.  1000s if not 100,0000s of photos have been displayed by me in this way.  CS5 was the last I was able to use it. 
What can I do now?  Where is the plug-in.  Why has this function been moved?
Actually - don't answer the last question.  Just help me get it back so I can work with it in CC!
Thank you all so much!

The output function in Bridge - unless it has changed a lot since last I checked - does not give me any control on how big the thumbnails should be, what colors to use, what size the large image should be.  It barely gives me any control at all and that worries me.  In the version I am talking about we had complete control, that's what I need again.
For example, it only gives me the ability to put 5 rows of pictures.  That's not enough.  I need a 100.
What are my options?  Sorry, I really need help with this or I'm going to lose a ton of business.

  • Web Photo Gallery Missing from Photoshop CS4

    Has anyone else found this to be valuable feature that is no longer available? We used this feature regularly as a method for proofing our customers and I have found that the one that is included in Bridge is sorely lacking from the Photoshop version.
    Has anyone found a solution or something that works similarly that is can be customized as deeply?

    Just to let you know that I followed the instructions in the PDF. Here they are sightly re-edited by me:
    To retore Web Photo Gallery functionality:
    Close Photoshop and use Explorer to view the extra stuff on the CS4 install DVD.
    Here's what you need to copy from the Photoshop CS4 install disk and where it goes:
    1. copy "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Plug-ins 32-bit\Automate\WebContactSheetII" plug-in
    to the "Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/Automate" folder
    (note there's a 64bit version in the Plug-ins 64-bit folder if that's what you're using)
    in my case it goes into "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets\"
    2. copy "Goodies\Presets\Web Photo Gallery" folder (the whole FOLDER)
    into the "Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets" folder
    I then have "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets\Web Photo Gallery\"
    (This is the part that adds the default templates to choose from)
    To add functionality to Bridge (xp and vista destination folders are a bit different):
    3A (for Windows XP)
    copy the FOLDER "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\photoshop_web_contact_sheet" folder (the whole FOLDER)
    into "Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop\"
    copy the SCRIPT file "photoshop_web_contact_sheet.jsx" from "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\"
    into "Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop\
    3B (for Vista)
    copy the FOLDER "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\photoshop_web_contact_sheet" folder (the whole FOLDER)
    into "Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop/"
    copy the SCRIPT file "photoshop_web_contact_sheet.jsx" from "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\"
    into "Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop\"
    As you can see there's a bit of surgery to do. But if you're careful everything will work as before.
    Hope this somewhat re-written 'how to" helps.

  • "automate web photo gallery" missing in Photoshop CS4

    Just thought I upgraded from my CS2 photoshop and realize I can't automate the very practical web photo galleries anymore? I tried to transfer the added plugin from the additional "goodies" file into the photoshop automate plugins BUT a message pops up saying: "There is NO template folder to run Web Photo Gallery"
    Can anyone help??
    Thanks,

    Remember to install the Picture Package too.
    Additionally, make sure you have updated to Photoshop 11.0.1 and applie the update to AOM, the Adobe Output Module.

  • Settings and Web Photo Gallery

    I am trying to use the Automate > Web Photo Gallery feature of Photoshop CS4. Why is this not installed with CS5?
    I have downloaded the Optional Plug ins only to find it simply refuses to work! I have the same settings on my MacBook and that works fine, but the MacPro refuses to display the Web Photo Gallery in the Autotmate menu.
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong? In the mean time I will have to use CS4.
    Also - Is there an automated way to import all the settings that were used with CS4 version of Photoshop? (and all the rest of CS5).
    Surely this ought to be a brain dead obvious feature to add to the UPGRADE of Photosop. All I want to do is upgrade and carry on using photoshop, not spend days trying to find the previous settings in CS4 then get them imported into CS5.
    PS - can someone remind me why I bothered to spend the money to upgdade?

    I think the matter has come up in other threads, but I don’t know if a 64bit-version is in the books; you could try doing a Forum Search and/or looking in the Feature Request Section if you can add your support to such a request or start a thread.

  • Web Photo Gallery in PS CS4

    They are recomending that you use Bridge for web galleries, but I have always liked the way PS did them.
    There is a plug in called "Web Photo Gallery" included with the programme that allows you to use the old method, which I have put it in the plug in folder as instructed. However I get a message that there is no template for a web photo gallery when I try to go Automate-web gallery.
    Can anyone point me as to what I am doing wrong or not doing.
    Thanks

    You have to load the templates for the old method too! CS4 doesn't use them.
    This is what the instructions say:
    Web Photo Gallery
    The ability to create a Web Photo Gallery is now available in the Adobe Bridge CS4 OutputModule. We highly recommend creating your Web Photo Galleries this way. If you would like to continue using the legacy Web Photos Gallery plug-in (WebContactSheetII), please follow these steps:
       1. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Optional plug-Ins/Automate/WebContactSheetII plug-in into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/Automate folder
       2. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Presets/Web Photo Gallery folder into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets folder and then restart Photoshop.
    Note: See below for a movie demonstrating the above steps.
    Optional: To add this legacy functionality back into Bridge (as a menu item):
       1. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Optional plugins/Bridge Startup Scripts/photoshop_web_contact_sheet folder and photoshop_web_contact_sheet.jsx file into following locations:
              * Mac OS: //Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS4/Adobe Photoshop/
              * Windows XP: //Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS4/Adobe Photoshop/
              * WindowsVista: //Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS4/Adobe Photoshop/
       2. Restart Bridge.
    There is also a instructional video on that page.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 - Web Photo Gallery?

    I have Photoshop Elements 8 trial edition and Photoshop Elements 2.0.  I would like to create a Web Photo Gallery with Photoshop Elements 8 trial edition just like I have been doing with Photoshop Elements 2.0.  I cannot find how to create a Web Photo Gallery in Photoshop Elements 8.  Has Adobe removed the Web Photo Gallery function from Photoshop Elements 8?
    I want to create a photo gallery to share photos on my own website and allow viewers to download the pictures.  The new online sharing function in Photoshop Elements 8 only creates a slide show without downloading capability.

    Bob,
    Thanks for answering.  I need to create a Web Photo Gallery so I can upload thumbnails and full-size pictures to my website and have viewers be able to download the full-sized pictures.  The Flash version does not permit downloading and requires that you use one of the provided templates.  It appears that Photoshop Elements 8 is a downgrade from Photoshop Elements 2.0 in this respect.  Is there any way to accomplish what I want to do with Photoshop Elements 8.0?
    By the way, I really like your video tutorial on the Adobe website.

  • How to add src, alt and title tags to a PS generated Web Photo Gallery

    I do some web design and need to add some tags to a web photo gallery created by Photoshop. Maybe this question should be directed to the GoLive / Dreamweaver Forum but since the gallery was created in PS I thought I'd start here.
    I need to add src, alt and title tags to the images in the web gallery. Normally this is as simple as working on the code in the html page in which the image sits but the PS gallery doesn't seem to be that simple.
    Can anyone tell me exactly how, and which files I need to work on, to add these tags to each of my 42 gallery images?
    Thanks.
    John.

    You can't do it in Photoshop.
    You can open the pages in a text editor adn easily ad any tags you want. They are simply html pages.
    If you really want to, you can use Dreamweaver or Golive. Using a text editor is generally faster and easier because you can just copy/paste between the files and not have to worry about code rewriting in the WYSIWYG applications. Don't believe the GoLive/Dreamweaver hype about "round trip code" they both will alter code.

  • Web photo gallery won't open on internet... why?

    I hope someone can help me with this.
    I always made slideshows with Photoshop until I got Elements. The newest version of Photoshop does not have that option anymore.
    I made a web photo gallery with elements, put it up in Dreamweaver, made a link, tested it on three browsers and it all worked perfectly.
    I then uploaded it all to a server.
    When I go to the page on internet, the link takes me to the index of the photo gallery but the slideshow does not open. It seems like the index file does not open the resource folder.
    I have compared the site on my computer with the site on the server and everything is exactly the same. The photo gallery is on th server with the index file and resource folder.
    I can't understand why the photo gallery doesn't behave on internet like it does on my computer.
    Can anyone explain this to me?
    I really like the way the new photo gallery looks compared with the slideshow made with my older version of Photoshop and would like to use it. Plus the fact that I can control the speed of the slideshow on Elements is a real boon.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I will try to be as explicate as possible.
    This is a site that I maintain for a marathon. This is the 10th year. The participants contribute a series of photos that I have always made into slide shows.
    I have a page that references slideshows from 2009 for example. I made these photos into slideshows using Photoshop CS3. The different folders are called "Slideshow xxx"  with the corresponding index file. When I link to the index file in a certain folder the slideshow opens in a blank page and wonderful.
    Now, this year, I have done the same thing using Element with the results I mention in my origiinal message: the photo gallery does not open in any browser  in spite of being linked to the index file in the web photo gallery I created with Element.
    What happens when I go to the index file is simply nothing. I do not get an error message.
    You can see for yourself by going to
    http://www.el-ocejon.com/fotos%202010.html
    and clicking on either of the two last options (the first links to a picasa page that is not a problem).
    The solution is simple: create a slideshow using Photoshop CS3 and forget the whole thing.  But I would like to know what the problem is here and why I cannot get the photo gallery created with Elements to work on the internet.
    Or is this a "two steps forward and one step back" issue with Photoshop?

  • CS3 Web Photo Gallery index.htm renaming

    I'm not sure if there is a way to change this but if any one know please let me know. I working to modify one of the templates for the Web Photo Gallery, and am wondering if there is a way to designate in the template what to name the index page besides index.htm or index.html.
    I'm working to create a site that will have many photo galleries. And while it does work to have each gallery in its own sub directory with the main gallery page named index.htm. I would prefer to have the main gallery page renamed during the automation process for easier archiving.
    Let me know if anyone know if this is possible.

    >Anyway, renaming the files should not pose a problem, if you do full links. I just wouldn't do it for web galleries created automatically from PS.
    There are could be hundreds of subpages in a gallery and I'm trying to avoid going back and redoing the link to each of the main pages. Every subpage points to the main page or the index page that PS creates. I can go and manually rename the index page but then the home button that is generated during the automation on each of the sub pages needs to be changed as well. I'm trying to avoid this.
    Let me explain what I'm trying to accomplish. In the root of the domain I plan on having my index page (with a brief description about the company). Then I plain to have a few other pages including a gallery page. This is going to be the main page for all my galleries. Images will be places here that will link to the main page of each of the galleries that are created. Also on the root there will be a folder named "XYZ". This is were all the galleries will be placed under there own sub folders.

  • The Web photo gallery does not work in Dreamweaver!

    I made a web photo gallery in photo shop using CS3.  The destination folder is the web site I'm using it in.  It links OK in the rollover image and will work if you click on it(swf_file) in the site file, but it will not show any pictures when I try to preview it with a browser or load it on the remote site. It loads the file but all the images are whited out.   This is very frustrating and it must be something simple...please advise...Thank You..Thagoodsport

    What kind of a response are you looking for with a post like that, seriously? Change this or that in your unprovided code? Use this or that gallery, which may be the gallery you're already using. We don't know because you haven't mention specifics, provided any code, or any other relevant information to produce a helpful response. All you've said is you click a link and it's white. Kudos.
    We're not mind readers and no one is looking over your shoulder watching what you're doing. Get it together... and when you do, post a link so we can see what you're talking about. jeez.

  • Create a web photo gallery, in PSE8????

    In a old version of elements, like verssion 2, you could create a web photo gallery.  You can also do this in Photshop.
    I just purchased PSE8 and I cannot find it in there.  Since this the bulk of my work, uploading photo galleries to car websites I look after, this could be a real problem for me.
    Is it in there & I'm just looking in the wrong palce or is there a plug inn I can get/purchase?
    Any advise would be greatly appreciated

    I still have PSE2 so it's no drama.
    It just defeats the purpose of me upgrading from that point of view.
    Like Eric says I too do not want the "flash-based web pages " as nice as they are.
    I cant see why they couldn't have left in the html gallery feature in as well as having the flash.  I see it all the time.  Packages move forward at the expense of other features being removed.
    I got the new package PSE8 and PRE8 as they could supposedly talk to each other.  Now I find I'm still having to use an older and much simpler application to get the job done.
    I also run two screens and when I move one of these new applications to the second larger screen it spits the dummy.
    Me thinks I'll just stick with my old proven products that never fail or hang.  Every time I try to move with the times something like this happens.
    I fear application/software creators/designers of the day have lost the plot.
    Ahh, I feel better now.  LOL!!

  • Can't create web photo gallery with modified RAW files

    I can use CS-2 to create a web photo gallery using unmodified RAW files, this seems to work fine.
    However, after I tweak the exposure of a RAW file and a .xmp file has been created, if I try to create a web photo gallery, the program goes through the motions but no thumbnails or (bigger) jpg files are created. The resulting web photo gallery pages are just filled with broken link icons.
    What's up?
    Windows 2000
    Photoshop CS-2
    Cannon RAW files (.CR2 extensions)
    Thanks,
    Mark

    I believe it may be to do with the sidecar files. My girlfriend has similar issues on Windows XP.
    I have tried to recreate the problem here (on Mac OSX) but it all works fine for me, so i can't fully test it, but here is what i believe may be happening....
    The sidecar file has the same name as the actual raw file (except the extension of course), so when the web gallery script is processing it, it does the raw file, then overwrites by trying to process the xmp file as an image, but of course it can't and then you end up with no image file in your thumbnail, or image directories in the web gallery for that image.
    Two options you can try...
    1) go into bridge and select the images to process in there (xmp files shouldn't show up there) and then use the Tools/Photoshop menu to access the WGB and choose 'Selected Bridge Images' as the source. (this has been tested successfully on win xp)
    2) in the camera raw plugin, go into preferences and change the 'sidecar xmp' option to 'camera raw database'. You will then probably need to delete any sidecar files for the folder you wish to process and reapply your raw adjustments. If the problem is what i suspect (as above) this should also work, though i haven't been able to test.
    Obviously you don't need to worry about the 'down rezzing' mentioned above as the web gallery builder should already be doing this for you...unless you changed it.

  • Web Photo Gallery - Feedback form not emailing?

    I'm using CS2 PShop and have created a web photo gallery using the Centred Frame 2 style and have entered my email address etc correctly. The gallery displays fine and on my mac I can approve and add descriptions, save and email the saved data - it asks for a name and on clicking OK launches Entourage 2004l and pours the data into a new email message body correctly.
    The problem is I want someone in Italy to review the gallery and get his feedback. When he approves/adds descriptions/saves and clicks the 'email feedback' button, he IS prompted for a name, but on enetering name and clicking OK, nothing happens and his mail client is not launched. He is on a windows PC using IE 6. What is going wrong? Is this a browser issue.
    Help required asap.

    You may need to edit the html code.
    The code for mailing should be something like this (with your email address obviously!):
    <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Click to send an e-mail</a>
