Aperture versus Lightroom - web gallery

Greetings,
This is a sort of a two in one post. I use both Lightroom and Aperture, and I am curious to know how many out there prefer one over the other.
For me, I find it hard to choose because I want to be able to use only one program. Now I import my images into both libraries and I find it too tedious, especially given the amount of images I capture.
The one thing that Lightroom surpasses Aperture on is the web gallery update. As far as I know, Aperture only updates images online only to .Mac. Lightroom allows me to upload to any website I choose. My main site is astronomyonline.org and I have setup a gallery (http://astronomyonline.org/gallery - in case you want to have a peek!). Is there a way to have Aperture upload to a site other than .Mac?
PS - I have been a photographer for over 20 years, and now it has become a tool to allow me to enjoy the world around me as I am now legally blind! My Apple Cinema 30" monitor allows me to view and edit my images. MacSpeech Dictate allows my words to translate into text.

I do prefer Lightroom largely because it either supports or was quicker to support all of my cameras.
Now I will use Aperture only for album creation, but it also had advantages when it came to ease of e-mailing photos. I started with the original Lightroom beta, switched to Aperture and for the last 6 or 7 months have returned to Lightroom.

  • Bridge CS3 Workspace Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery Creator

    A while back I was looking around for an easy way to create sharp looking image galleries with minimal work, and I came across a workspace plug in for Bridge Cs3. If I remember correctly, it was labeled Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery something or another. Anyway, I recently formatted my computer and reinstalled everything, but for the life of me I can find no trace of that handy workspace plug in. Does anyone know where I can find it? It had a bunch of customizable flash galleries as well as a customizable html gallery as well. Any help would be appreciated!

    Do you mean AMG( Adobe Media Gallery)? You could download from LAB.

    Can I add my Lightroom Web Gallery to my web page? I would like to have more than just a gallery. How would I do that?

    Best way is to upload your WebGallery into a subfolder of your web space and put a link to the index.html file onto your main page.

  • Is there any way of making the "cell numbers" smaller on a lightroom web gallery?

    I am new to lightroom having used aperture 3 in the past.
    I am currently trying to create a html web gallery in order to put up some images online for a client. I am really happy with the flexibility of the lightroom galleries.
    However, the cell numbering on the grid pages are very large and the larger the number, the more of the number hides behind the image. I have been searching for a remedy to this problem as there doesn't seem to be any point in having a contact sheet for a client if they can't see what number an image is.
    I have attached a screenshot to illustrate.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Would really appreciate any thoughts.
    Thanks!
    Jack

    Well, you could probably hack the template file itself. I've never done it, but others have restyled markup in a variety of ways.

  • Windows 7 64 bit Dreamweaver CC 2014 & Lightroom 5: Trying to insert a lightroom web gallery into a template in Dreamweaver

    I am using a template for my website in Dreamweaver CC 2014. I installed a lightroom 5 web gallery into the template. I have an editable region where my main content goes that is where I inserted the web gallery. The main content css height is set at Auto. The web gallery shows up but only the very top half of the gallery. The whole web gallery wont push down the main content section so you can see the whole gallery. If I set the main content at height 700px then the whole gallery shows up, but because this is a template it screws up all my other pages because of the height setting. I need that to be variable. What am I doing wrong?

    Most likely that main content area also contains a floated element and you are not clearing the float before closing the main content container. Floated elements are removed from the normal flow. Being removed from the normal flow means that a container for that floated element does not regard the floated element as being in it, and will collapse around its non-floated content. To prevent this from happening you should clear the float before closing the container, e.g.,
    <div>
    <img src="very-tall-image.jpg" style="float:left">
    <p>some content</p>
    </div>
    This div will only be as tall as the paragraph tag requires, thus truncating the image.
    But here -
    <div>
    <img src="very-tall-image.jpg" style="float:left">
    <p>some content</p>
    <div style="clear:left;"></div>
    </div>
    This div will show the whole image.

  • Font Change in Lightroom Web Gallery

    Is ther any way to change the default font in the lightroom web galleries (specifically the HTML-based gallery)? I feel like it's probably a simple change in a menu somewhere that I missed

    In a HTML based page the fonts shown will always be dependent on the fonts installed on the end users computers. Whilst many LR galleries have the ability to select a font group that the respective end users machine may display by editing the page css style, I don't think the default html gallery that comes installed with LR has this.
    If you want to make the change yourself you will need to recode the exported gallery files yourself. In the index file a line such as
    body,td,th {      font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; } should do it

  • Embed Lightroom Web Gallery into Dreamweaver

    Hi.  I've created a web gallery (lightroom html gallery) using Lightroom 3 and I am wanting to embed it into an existing website that I am working on in Dreamweaver CS5.  I've tried many things but nothing seems to work.  I've copied the gallery folder into the website folder and uploaded it straight to the site and that doesn't work.  As well as changing the index.html and index_2.html (2nd page of gallery) to matching titles of a link that is meant to open up straight to the gallery and it still doesn't work.  I've been trying for countless hours and can get nothing. Somebody please help on how to embed a lightroom gallery into an existing dreamweaver site so that it fully works.

    I'm not sure I completely understand your problem, because linking to a Lightroom gallery is actually very simple.
    Design your Lightroom gallery and upload it to your server. Just do it directly from LR. Let's suppose you have uploaded it into [your webroot folder]/galleries/test/.
    Don't rename any of the index files.
    Check it has actually worked, by visiting http://celestialapple.zxq.net/galleries/test/index.html with your browser.
    Create a link to the gallery on your home page. The source code for the link is <a href="/galleries/test/index.html">Other Photoshop gallery</a>
    And that's it already.
    Cheers,
    Michael

  • How to export a lightroom web gallery into dreamweaver

    I would like to know how to integrate a slideshow 'gallery flash lightroom" into a dreamweaver CC page which already exists
    I'm not an IT person. So if you have a simple way...
    I don't find any bottom "export into dreamweaver" in Lightroom...
    So if someone can tell me how to proceed.
    Thanks per advance.
    Florence

    Thanks for your answer.
    Yes. I can open the web gallery page into dreamweaver : I have nammed this page metaphoris.html
    But I don't want to use this page as a page in my web site.
    I would like to integrate the content (just the slideshow) into the body of an existing page
    nammed Artgallery.html
    If you know
    - which part of the code I have to copy and paste into my page (if it's the right thing to do?)
    - and if I have to relocate some files r(essources? images?)
    Thanks per advance ;-)

  • Aperture to .Mac Web Gallery Help please. Urgent !!

    Hi, I having been going round in circles trying to figure this out -
    Q1) I cannot find a way to update to my published .Mac web gallery from Aperture(2.1)
    When I select the versions that I want to add to the gallery I drag them into the Web
    Gallery album in the projects inspector and synchronize the gallery to update, but
    only the Master images are added to the published web gallery, not the versions !?
    Q2) Also, when I originally created the Web Gallery album Aperture imported my entire
    project (All masters, complete stacks, vers etc) but somehow only published the versions
    I had selected for publishing to a .Mac Web Gallery. Why has aperture included the Masters,
    complete stacks etc in the Web Gallery album ?
    If someone could help with this, particularly Q1, it would be much appreciated as I have
    a client waiting to see more versions which I cannot manage to add to the existing
    published Web Gallery for that client.
    Thx

    Hi Ernie, thx for responding.
    I have tried everything, but same result - Aperture only publishes the unedited Master, not the version with Adjustments. When I originally published images to the .Mac web gallery I disabled all downloads, as the gallery is intended for client review & selection only.
    Some further questions if you don't mind.. Am I doing the right thing in dragging versions from the project to the Web Gallery album (in projects inspector)? When I do that I see that Aperture copies both the Master & version to the web gallery album (they are both visible in the web gallery album) The problem is that only the Master is published to the .Mac web gallery (which i don't want), and not the edited Version(which I do want) This worked ok the first time around when I created the web gallery album and published it to .Mac galleries, however I did notice that the web gallery album in Aperture contains the entire contents of the project (Masters, complete stacks & versions etc)
    The Aperture manual is very vague on adding new images to a web gallery album and publishing them to an existing >mac Web gallery. It says that this can be done, but not how to do so. I may be missing something simple and obvious, but the Aperture user manual is really not sufficient in this area. Any further ideas or suggestions would be welcome. Thx again.

  • Aperture 2.0 Web Gallery - Broken?

    I am running Aperture 2.0 on a Mac Pro 2.8x8 10GB RAID0 OS 10.5.2 with all updates to graphics drivers etc. as of 02.17.08.
    I have a project with 43 photographs, in 6 stacks.
    1. I select 3 photographs and click 'Web Gallery' button from Toolbar.
    2. The 'Web Gallery' is created in the Project Panel.
    3. The 'Web Gallery' project displays every photograph in the stack, instead of the ones I selected.
    4. Uploaded on the 'Web Gallery' is only ONE photograph. The first one in the stack.
    The End result? When I view the webpage in Safari, ONE photograph appears. The first one in the stack.
    I have been using the Web Gallery feature in iPhoto 08 since September, and Aperture 1.5 for over two years. I don't think I'm forgetting to do something as this process includes extremely few variables to complicate. Not only do I wish Apple spent at least a few man hours creating a more dynamic Web 2.0 experience for Aperture instead of not touching the existing technology (which is dated), but I wish the product I paid for would work properly?
    Hopefully It's something I'm overlooking, because I'm sure other people are having this same problem.
    Graham
    Edit: I suppose its worth mentioning that I do not have 'Primary Only' selected. And when I try to delete a photograph from a Web Gallery, unlike iPhoto where it will remove it from the Web Gallery ONLY, Aperture would like to remove the photograph permanently.. Hopefully thousands of people aren't deleting photographs by accident thinking its only removing it form Web Gallery because thats how it functions in other Apple Software?

    As the manual suggests, all 27 photographs in this stack are similar in kind. I would like to publish 3 of these photographs with my stack intact. You're saying this is not possible?
    If you want maximum flexibility in creating Web Galleries, DO NOT use stacks? What happens to the thousands of stacks that people have already created in Aperture and would like to simply get photographs online? Sounds like hours of reworking organization.

  • Lightroom web gallery

    I am trying to upload an html web gallery created with Lightroom into a website I am building wth Muse and every time I try to preview the site by using the "preview site in browser" or by using the preview button within Muse I can only see the numbers where the web gallery photos should be.  I did link the rectangle to click on with the html for the gallery, but it doesn't show up properly.  Do I need to upload the web gallery to BC first or maybe something else?  I'm new to making websites and don't understand FTP processes and other technical stuff yet, so please explain in simple to understand terms.
    Thank you very much,
    Phillip

    Hello,
    In this case you do not need to insert the the web gallery into Muse. You can directly upload the gallery to your webiste once you have uploaded it in Business Catalyst using the FTP details.
    And then you can use the link to the gallery into Adobe Muse.
    Please find the link that to a forum post that might be helpful.

    Please refer to Zak's post where he explains the process.
    Hope this helps

  • Can you transfer a Lightroom web gallery to Muse

  • Keep CS5 HTML "lightroom" web gallery template from renaming files...

    When creating an HTML Web Gallery (using  ‘Lightroom’ template), Bridge CS5 renames the thumbs and large images to  an arbitrary number.  The caption reads as the original file name, but  the actual image has a new name.  This is problematic, as my clients  will right-click selected images from my galleries to save and forward  for approval, but the file name is not the same as the original.
    As an example: VLNK0321.jpg  is renamed as _4856316150.jpg.  (In Preferences/Output, the "Convert  multi-byte file names to Full ASCII" is unchecked.)
    Is  there any way to fix this little (for me--BIG) problem?  Can the script be altered to keep the original file name, not the ten-digit arbitrary number that it currently generates? 
    Thanks for any help offered!

    I believe I've discovered the file/script that does the renaming.  I've done some testing, and have been able to change the way Bridge does the changes, but not able to keep the original file name.
    The file is "galleryCreator.jsxinc", found in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS5 Extensions\Adobe Output Module\mediagallery\resources\scripts.
    I'm not a code-guy, so I'm hoping that someone with more smarts than I can help.  Below is the part of "galleryCreator.jsxinc" that does the re-naming.  Simply deleting this entire part of the script renders Bridge unusable.  So allowing the script to create the altername is important.  If the alteration could consist of only adding the "underscore" prefix to the original file name, all would be well...
    Here's the pertient portion of the script:
    AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
        var alteredName;
        while (true)
            alteredName = "_";
            for (var i=0; i<10; i++)
                alteredName += Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
            alteredName += ".jpg";
            var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
            if (!f.exists)
                break;
        return alteredName;
    I will send a check for $200 to the first person who can rewrite this to simply add the underscore first, then return the original file name instead of the random number generator, and make it work.  Anyone?

  • How can you add a mp3 player to your Lightroom web gallery?

    I feel like this would be a highly desirable feature and assumed Adobe would add it to Lightroom 3. That doesnt seem to be the case. Does anyone know an easy work around for adding music to your Lightroom web galleries? Dewplayer http://www.alsacreations.fr/dewplayer-en.html seems to have a open source mp3 player with a code generator. I assume i can use that and then cut and past the code into one of the lightroom gallery files. Anyone know where to paste it? I am using lighroom's simpleviewer web gallery.
