"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,
D

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.

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.

Crash when you run Web Photo Gallery on Mac OS X v10.5 (Photoshop CS2, Photoshop Elements 4)
ISSUE
When you attempt to run Web Photo Gallery in Adobe Photoshop CS2 or Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 on Mac OS X v10.5.x (Leopard), the application crashes.
REASON
The Web Photo Gallery plug-in that shipped with Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop Elements 4 is not compatible with Mac OS X v10.5.x.
SOLUTION
Replace the Web Photo Gallery plug-in with the new version.
Quit Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop Elements 4.
Download the new version of the Web Photo Gallery plug-in from the following link:
WebContactSheetIIplugin.zip
If your web browser did not automatically extract the plug-in (WebContactSheetII.plugin) from the downloaded .zip file, double-click the .zip file to extract the plug-in.
In the Finder, navigate to the Automate folder:
For Photoshop CS2, navigate to /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS2/Plug-Ins/Adobe Photoshop Only/Automate.
For Photoshop Elements 4, navigate to /Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0/Plug-Ins/Automate.
Remove the WebContactSheetII plug-in from the Automate folder. You might want to save this plug-in in case you need to revert back to it.
Drag the new WebContactSheetII plug-in that you extracted into the Automate folder.
Re-open Photoshop CS2 or Photoshop Elements and run Web Photo Gallery.
Note: If you are using Photoshop Elements 4, then do not choose File > Create Web Photo Gallery to use this feature after you update the plug-in. Instead, choose File > Automation Tools > Web Photo Gallery.

Is the Automate/Web Photo Gallery function gone from CS5?

I am currently operating a trial download of Photoshop CS5. I was surprised to see the "File > Automate > Web Photo Gallery" function missing from Photoshop CS5. Is that true, or has it been moved to another location?

Jeffry, Chris Cox,
At our studio we use the Web Gallery with Feedback option for our clients to review images, make selections and comments.
I hope we don't lose access to this with an upgrade to CS5.
It seems to me that having that capability within Photoshop makes sense, but if it is being ported to Bridge I hope, at least, that it will be well supported (which it wasn't while in PS).
As a tool to support a user's web design, Flash has several drawbacks not the least of which is that it is opaque to search engine indexing bots.
One thing I would hope Adobe could fix in the Gallery with Feedback option is a problem in which if a client of ours is using the gallery to give feedback, even though they click "Save Feedback" on every image, if they close the gallery window, all comments and selections are lost. We had a client who was reviewing 400 images. She had gotten through close to 300 of them, saving feedback all along, when she decided to come back to the project a little later. Closing the browser window lost all of her comments and selections. Tools like this are important to our business relations with our clients and I would hope they would be integrated into Adobe's imaging products, but they shouldn't be an afterthought – they need to be well designed, user customizable, and up to date with web standards.

Automate web photo gallery in PS Elements 7

New user here. I bought Photoshop Elements 7 specifically for the web photo gallery, which works fine in Elements 6 (but I don't own a copy of 6).
My installation of Elements 7 has the Automation tools option in the File menu greyed out. It looks like this option is now a plug-in? If so, where can I get this? Was this option excluded from Elements 7?
Any help will be really useful. Thanks

Thanks for replying, Jim.
In Photoshop CS3, the Automate option in the File menu is active even with no images open. I assumed this is the same in Elements 7, and am told that Elements 6 is the same.
Using Windows XP.
Steps :
1. Open Elements to splash screen, select Edit (This is the only option in the splash screen for which the Automate Tools is listed in the following screen)
2. When the Edit screen loaded, opened File menu, and Automation Tools is listed but is greyed out.
Tried opening images -> no change
No album is (created or) selected.

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 - Elements 6 (mac) - Elements 8 (pc)

I've been asked to update a photo gallery in a website that was created with the Mac version 6 of Elements. So I'm ready to purchase Elements version 8 for the PC and I download the trail version. The problem is the HTML version has been replaced the FLASH, which might work okay. But they really want the gallery format they have now, but I cannot find a similar template with the 'Shared' Online Album procedure. It's a rather plain template, but they like it for their site. It has a scrolling list of thumbnails on the left and the selected photo shows to the right. There's an "Image Info" button on the bottom that pops-up a dialog of File/Title/Description/Credits/Copyright.
If I purchase Elements 8, can I download older versions someplace? If I have to hunt for Version 6 on eBay or elsewhere, do the PC and Mac versions 6 have the same HTML Photo Gallery templates/options?

hey,
the workflow is different in pse8 as compared to pse6. in pse8 if you want to create the web gallery you have option either in the File > Create Web gallery.
i am not too sure whether you can download older version of pse from any where.
thanks

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.

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.

Flash-Web Photo Gallery

I am trying to create a flash web photo galler using the Automate>Web Photo Gallery in CS2.
I want to mix the features of the 2 existing options.
In Flash Gallery 1, the thumbnails are listed as small icons in multiple lines and are magnified when the mouse hovers over them, like the dock in OS X.
In Flash Gallery 2, the meta data listed in the xml file is displayed only if you explicitly click on the info button, and it is below the picture.
I need these 2 options together. The rest of the options are not a problem I can go either way.
Is there another Flash Gallery that will combine these two options?
If not:
Is there a way to modify the flash file to accomodate this?

Google "Flash Gallery Templates", you'll see 2.4M links.
Back to levonk's original question... sounds like you're trying to do what I'm trying to... alter the Flash files used to generate the Web Photo Gallery Flash Gallery 2.
Here's my question, similar to yours:
How do i open the "gallery.swf" file to alter Photoshop Flash Web Photo Gallery?
Built Web Photo Gallery in Photoshop CS2's Automate. It turned out OK, and I made adjustments in the "index.html" and "galleryconfig.xml" files in a text editor (BBE).
Now, I'd like to alter the template's .swf file but can't open it as it's "protected".
It would be nice to be able to set up a new template that does exactly what I intend, without altering the other files. But I can't open the protected "gallery.swf" file to make changes. Can someone help? Does Adobe have an unprotected copy of that file I can fiddle with? Is there some "trick" to open a copy of that file? I could learn a lot and make it easy to repeat results for a site. Any assistance most appreciated!

Web Photo Gallery help

I have a couple of questions about using Bridge to make web photo galleries.
- is there a way to make the galleries so the pictures retain the same file names as the original pictures?
Here's a sample gallery I made; http://www.bobcoulter.com/ps5/gallery/content/_1226902297_large.html
The first pictures file name is; 110108_0023.jpg but in the gallery if you copy the picture it's now called _1226902297.jpg
- is there a way to force ALL the files Bridge uses to make the gallery so they are lower case file names? i.e. cutName.js so that it's cutname.js etc.

IMO when Adobe removed PDF and contact sheet support along with Photoshop Web Galleries from Photoshop menu File>Automate>Web Photo Gallery... and they added an output module to the Bridge for PDF support and a much less customizable Web Photo Galleries they took a giant step backwards and short changed their users.
However you can still download some of the removed features like Contact Sheets and the old Photo Web Gallery and install them into CS5 how much longer will they provide them no one knows.
You can also find some Photoshop Scripts that can be used to generate Web Photo Galleries. Most are written in javascript and not converted to binary so you can download them and if you know a little javascript you can add anything you want.
Perhaps in some future release the Bridges output module support will catch up with the old support that is in Photoshop CS3.
The scripts I have modified can be downloaded. Here are some examples hover the mouse cursor over the bottom of your browser's window in the WS-Slideshow galleries to see its tool bar. I fit my images within a UXGA display 1600x1200 pixels.

CS5 - Where has Web Photo Gallery gone? I use it all the time to prepare galleries for Dreamweaver.

Having just upgraded from CS2 to CS5, I cannot find Web Photo Gallery (previously File, Automate, Web Photo Gallery).
This was very useful to prepare galleries of images sent to me by our group members in all sizes, so I could send all the gallery files straight into Dreamweaver for uploading to our website.

Thanks, "obvious" always works for me...
In CS2 they offered thumbnails of the gallery styles. Hitting Refresh Preview in CS5 requires the photos to load the gallery. Doesn't take too long, but the other was quick and simple.

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.
