Examples of web photo galleries that display xmp metadata

Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows of an online image gallery that displays xmp metadata for the images displayed?
Thanks,
Bob

Something you may want to consider is DBGallery (http://grrsystems.com/DBGallery). This product stores iptc/xmp data in a MySql database as well as in the image file (using Adobe's XMP Toolkit). Websites can access this data using any number of ways: PHP (google 'accessing mysql with php'), MS Access, and many others. Unfortunately right now there isn't an extremely easy means to access it directly from html like in the sample above: "< div class="content">DESCRIPTION: %FILEINFO% "; although finding someone to put together a little PHP to get close to this easy wouldn't be difficult (elance.com, etc).
DBGallery itself allows that data to be extracted and placed in emails and pdf's (see a sample at http://grrsystems.com/DBGallery/DBGallery_Sample.pdf). It also generates websites with Title and Description, but the websites are fairly basic I'm afraid (see
http://www.grrphotography.com/Collections/WorldPlaces/index.htm)
Dropping any images with iptc/xmp data into DBGallery gets their data into the database because the metadata is automatically read and added to the database.
If there are questions about this option reply here or email me at [email protected]

Ideas about viewing/displaying XMP metadata from Reader ?

Hi,
We are using Acrobat 9 to add XMP metadata to PDF documents.
These documents are viewed by the others employees with Acrobat Reader.
Since "File->Properties->Advanced Metadata" and "Custom Info Panels" are not available in Reader, how can we display XMP metadata ?
Do you know some ways or plug-ins to do this ?
Our custom XMP metadata schema have more than 20 fields, so I don't want to put all these informations in the "Keywords" field of the document properties.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated !
Thank you !

Michael... what you are describing above is not accurate. The iPod Classic does NOT have the capability of using the "Album Artist" field from iTunes to sort music. This particular metadata field is not even available to the iPod Classic. Only the "Artist" field is available. (It is the other way around with the iPod Touch, iPhone, and Ipad -- for these iOS devices, the "Album Artist" field is the one that is available, and not the "Artist" field.) There are numerous posts here in the discussion forums from other folks who are frustrated by the same issue. The iPod Classic can only sort and group songs together by "Artist" -- that is, the track artist. And the track artist is often quite different from the album artist. For example... I have 29 different Barbra Streisand albums in iTunes. For all of them, the album artist is "Barbra Streisand." There are several different track artists however. Most of them are just Barbra Streisand. But she also does a duet or two on several albums. So there are track artists like... "Barbra Streisand with Kim Carnes," and "Barbra Streisand with Barry Gibb," and many more like that. After syncing to my iPod Classic, when I sort on the iPod's "Artist" field, I get about 25 different iterations of "Barbra Streisand and .... " as the artist. Yes, "Barbra Streisand" does appear among them. But the only songs that are listed under "Barbra Streisand" are those that she sang by herself, and where she is the only track artist. Given the setup of the iPod Classic as it is now, using firmware version 2.0.4, it is NOT possible to use the Album Artist field to sort and group songs together.

Increasing photo quality in Web Photo Galleries

I create Photo Galleries (Create->Photo Galleries) and FTP them to an ISP for family to view. However the quality of the photos is low(ish). I have tried every Type and Style I can find in Elements. How do I increase the size (and therefore quality) of the photos in Photo Galleries to (say)100K per photo. If this isn't possible, what are the alternatives? Thanks!

Robin,
There are different layouts of galleries (PSE5), which display images of
different pixel dimensions and file size.
For instance, in my case, the first gallery when choosing a template,
"Standard (Small Thumbnails): A paginated grid of small thumbnails on the
left and a preview image on the right" displays images in the 60 - 70 KB
range, at a size of 480x320 px. Another gallery, "Slideshow: Slideshow-only
gallery that scales to fit the browser window" uses larger images, 636x424
px at right around 100 KB.
The quality of these two image sizes is probably similar, the file size
difference is due to variation of the pixel dimensions.
When using the second gallery above, or another one that uses the large file
size, you can actually go in and exchange the relatively low quality images
with a set of the same images that you would have manually sized and saved
at a better quality. I just ran a test and substituted the 100 KB images
with a set of 180 - 200 KB pictures at 800x533 px. They have to have the
exact same file names as the original set. They are located in:
C: ...\Untitled_Gallery\resources\media\08slideshow\large
This sounds like a tedious procedure, but if you have edited a set of
images, you can run the gallery creation with that set and turn around and
replace the files.

Help! Multiple Bridge Web Photo Galleries in my site

RunI am in need of some help and I posted this in Bridge and didn't get an answer.
I have a website and I used bridge to make my photo galleries. I downloaded the photo galleries bridge made into two different temporary folders outside of dreamweaver and then changed the name from index.html to "deck.html" (photos of a deck we built) and "of.html" (photos of an outdoor fireplace we built). Everything worked fine. I copied the deck.html file and the resources folder into my site folder and then linked a thumbnail of the deck to the deck.html file. Everything worked fine and the gallery loaded.
Now, I know that I can't put the resources folder into my site of the of.html gallery due to the same name so I changed it to resources2. I then put the of.html and resources2 folder into my site folder. I then checked the code to find where it was pointing to the resources folder to change it to resources2. This is what i did:
changed <script src=resources... to <script src=resources2...
I then linked a thumbnail of the outdoor fireplace to the of.html, but the deck.html gallery loaded
I am assuming that I am not changing the code correctly to link to the group.xml file which contains the images to load and the other files in my resources2 folder. When the link is clicked it loads the original deck.html gallery and I thought that somewhere in the AC_RunActiveContent.js it must be linking to the resource folder and not the resouces2 folder. I have searched through all the files in the resources2 folder and the of.html and I can't find where to change the code.
Please, any help would be appreciated. Also, if there is some other way to do this let me know.

Maybe I can explain this better....
the group.xml file has the information for what images to load. When previewing the outdoor fireplace web gallery "of.html" it loads the "deck.html" web gallery. I believe this is because in one of the files it is requesting the info from the group.xml file from the resourses folder. I need to find where the code is that directs it to the group.xml and change it to group2.xml and rename that group.xml file for "of.html" to group2.xml in the resourses2 folder.

Web Photo Galleries

Hi
I normally use the big guy, Photoshop, but I bought elements 9 because I thought it would have that automated web photo gallery from previous versions. That is that automated feature that makes a web site of a folder of pictures. I can't seem to find it.
How do I do that?
Thanks
Jon

You can select a group of photos in the organizer and start there, or you can open all the files in the editor and right click the project bin to save them as an album if you don't use organizer, then go on from there.
I don't know what you mean by "it didn't function". To run the gallery on your local computer, go into the finished smart album folder and double click the index.html file.
Many of these galleries are interactive: they don't do anything till you do something, like turn the pages of the book, click on a photo in the pile to pick it up and look at it, etc.

Photo app that displays names of files?

Hello,
I have iOS 4 on my iPhone and now, I came across a question: Is there any app that displays photos with their filenames on my iPhone? For example, I want to use the albums I already have on my iPhone not only showing the picture itself, but also the filename such as "summer 2009 in Paris.jpg". If there is a possibility to cut off the extension (in this case .jpg) this would be the best solution.
Greets,
Michael

I think it is possible for a third-party app to look at and do things with your Photo Library, not just your Camera Roll.
One of these might show the filename, or might be good candidates for a feature request:

Preview, export, and upload web photo galleries

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WSA20E5E2B-1F61-4c59-A3F4-13C1AEF9EF56.html

In the web photo gallery, exporting seems to automatically create 4 sizes of images: large, medium, small and thumb. Because of copyright and bandwidth concerns, I start out with small images anyway. What Lighroom does, however, is to still create images for each, small, medium and large to be exactly the same size, and then the thumbnail. Ie I end up with bloating website which is 3 times as large as what it should be. Multiply the space wasted by thousands of photos, and you'll soon see that it is extremely inefficient way of creating a web presence. Then I have to FTP the mass to a remote server. Crazy. Yet, I cannot find an option anywhere (incl the help text) to turn off the bloatware. Adobe. How do I create only one size of image during export, namely original size, plus a thumbnail? That is all I need.

Bring Back the HTML Web Photo Galleries to CS4

These were useful, easy to customize templates with more creative freedom. Much more so than what the flash templates provide. Using the web photo gallery control panel through Bridge was more efficient than through Photoshop since you could select files rather than entire folders. Since it's available as a "legacy" plugin included with the Goodies for Photoshop, how about a plugin script to put it back where it was in Bridge? (Bridge>Tools>Photoshop>Web Photo Gallery)
Please?

Sorry,
I don't know how to post a new massage.
I'm sorry to used it to post my question.
My question is, how I can use bridge cs4 to post a web gallery to my server,
all the time is tell me I can't do it.
or if i want to open it in dreamweaver cs4 is tell me I need flash cs4 but, I have flash cs4 install
any help I will appreciated it.
I'm sorry again to post it here.
Thank You

PHP photo galleries that are compatible with iPhoto?

I don't have MobileMe, but I do have a personal web site running PHP and would like to publish my photo albums on my web site as a good place to store them. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best PHP photo gallery software (preferably free) **that is compatible with iPhoto**?
Of course I can always export everything out of iPhoto and then import them into ANY photo gallery software, but I'm hoping there's a good one out there that does have iPhoto support.

Creating web photo galleries

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WSE7BC7E4B-BC7A-4c05-994A-A6F74113B819.html

Not strictly a Lightroom question, but you need to get server space or a host. There's plenty of free ones about, just google 'Free web host'. The hosting service will give you FTP details to enter into Upload Settings part of Lightroom's Web Module.

Using Adobe Web Photo Gallery

I have PS CS4, on a mac, and I added the Web Photo Gallery plug-in.
This works, but I cannot get PS to make a Web Photo Gallery that reflects the folder structure that I am using.
PS just dumps all images into one ore more pages, without regard to their source folder structure.
I want PS to make a home web page that contains just links to web pages that actually contain the images in the sub-folders.
I do not see an option to do that.
I have a home folder, which contains sub-folders, and those sub-folder contain the images.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.

Most CS3 Web Photo Gallery Templates are flash free. They use straight HTML. Even the ones the change images automatically just use HTML to refresh the page displayed and change the page to the next image. The Photoshop Web Gallery Template can be edited and customized to better suit your needs. Adobe has removed Photoshop's Photo Web Galleries from newer version of Photoshop however the Feature can be installed into the newer Photoshop versions. Adobe added an output module to the Bridge that can create Web Photo Galleries these are mostly Flash based and not easily customized like Photoshop's old Web Photo Gallery templates.
IMO there is nothing wrong with Flash Web Galleries other then mobile tablets and phone do not have flash support. I have yet to see any HTML 5 web gallery with features that match Flash Galleries. I'm not a fan of Flash web sites or Flash games. However there are many Flash web photo galleries that perform well and have great features. I do not particularly want to display my images on small web phones. If you want to see them on a tablet get a windows 8 pro tablet they should have flash support. I put large images in Web Photo galleries fitted for 1600x1200 displays and count on flash to resize them for the users browsers window.
Here is an example of a Flash web photo gallery. It contains 8 or 9 albums some with additional feature enabled. All generated in Photoshop with a custom script. http://www.mouseprints.net/albums/
Resize your browser window see the image sizes change use the menu in the bottom of the browsers window to change album and try full screen support. I only use Flash for Web Photo Galleries. I'm not selling so I do not need IOS and Android support.

Adobe web photo gallery - flash gallery 2

I'm using the adobe web photo gallery, flash gallery 2 and I
want to slow down the time it takes for each photo to fade in. I'm
referring to the part that after the image preloader is done and
when the image is transitioning from white into the full image.
I've gone through the code but to no avail. Can someone help me
with this? Thanks!

Using CS3 Web Photo Gallery Control Panel in Bridge CS4?

I found where the styles are located in the library, and it doesn't look like the old templates will work with the new Output feature of Bridge. I want to use my old templates from CS3 that I have customized, and would like to use them with Bridge. I have installed the extra Goodies, but they will only work through Photoshop, not Bridge.
Is there a way to have Bridge>Tools>Photoshop bring up the legacy version control panel for the Web Photo Gallery?
Thank you:)

Hi Paul,
I'm not a Lightroom user, but the new Web Photo Galleries that come in CS4 are in Bridge. They are Lightroom templates, so there's probably not much difference. I just tried building a gallery in CS4 Bridge with 35 files, and I could not preview more than 10 either through Bridge or in a browser by pressing the preview button. The only way to preview the entire gallery before uploading was by saving the folder, then opening the index file in a browser.
Web Photo Galleries can be created in Photoshop and Bridge CS4 just like they were in previous versions of Photoshop and Bridge. You do need to configure it using the optional Goodies files since it is not part of the initial installation. It's real easy. The link I posted above has more information. Here it is again:
http://generatex.com/cs4.html
If you do that, you'll have the best of both worlds. You'll have the option of creating web photo galleries with html templates in Bridge or Photoshop CS4, previewing them easily (regardless of size), and have the option of using the new Lightroom flash templates in Bridge CS4.

When I build a web photo gallery and upload to my server, the web page as displayed by browsers is blank. With preview, insid Bridge, the slideshow works fine.

I have been building web photo galleries with Bridge for a few years and everything worked fine until my latest two builds. Now when I build a gallery and upload the folder to my web server, it's not getting displayed by browsers. When you hit the index file of the gallery, the page is blank with no written errors.
When I use the "preview in browser" feature in Bridge, the slide show works as expected.
I'm creating the gallery and saving to my local hard drive. When that's complete, I ftp the entire folder to the server and then point to the index.htm file. I've been doing this for two years with good results. All of a sudden, I can't get a gallery to display on-line.

I am experiencing the exact same problem; the gallery displays and functions perfectly when viewed locally but not when uploaded to the web server. I am wondering if it is also a Dreamweaver issue as each time I upload I receive an error report e.g. some files did not upload et cetera.

Help with structuring SQL databases for multiple photo galleries..help!?!

Hello all,
As a new PHP/SQL developer I have found great technical assistance from both this forum and from David Powers and his wonderful books. I am at a crucial point in my web development and although I believe I know which direction I need to go, I am still uncertain and so I appeal to you all for your help, especially David Powers.
The website I am building is one which will house many photo galleries. I was able to successfully modify the code provided in David Powers’ book ‘php Solutions’ so that I got the photo galleries constructed and working in the manner I desired.
That being said, a person browsing my website will be presented with a link to see the photo galleries. There will be five (5) categories in which the photos will be separated, all based on specific styles. Now that I have the galleries working, I need to know how to structure things so that I can create a page, like a TOC (table o’ contents) that shows all photo galleries by displaying a thumbnail image or two along with the description. Perhaps I’ll limit the TOC page to only show the latest 25 galleries, arranged with the most current always on top.
The way I have my galleries set up, I have a separate database for each one, containing the photo filenames and other relevant data. To build my TOC structure, should I have an overall database that contains each gallery database filename along with category? This is where I have no idea what I’m doing so if my question sounds vague, please understand I have no other idea how to ask.
The site will grow to the point of having hundreds, if not thousands of photo galleries. I simply want to know how to (organize them) or otherwise allow me to build a method to display them in a TOC page or pages.
I know this is a bit dodgy, but with some info and questions back from you, I feel confident that I should be able to get my point across.
Lastly, I am still developing this site locally, so I have no links to provide (though I feel that shouldn’t be necessary right now).
Many sincere thanks to you all in advance,
wordman

bregent,
I'm chewing this over in my head, reading up on DB's in 'phpSolutions' and I think that things are slowly materializing.
Here is the structure of the website that I have planned:
MAIN PAGE
User is presented with a link on the main page to select photo galleries (other links are also present). Clicking the link takes them to the Category Page.
CATEGORY PAGE
On this page, the User will then have 5 choices based on categories (photo style). CLicking any of these 5 links will take them to respective TOC pages.
TOC PAGE
On this page, the user is greeted with a vertical list of galleries or photosets; one to three thumbs on the left, a small block of descriptive text on the right (ideally containing date/time info to show how recent the gallery is). Newest galleries appear at the top. Eventually, when there are tens or hundreds of galleries in any given catrgory, I'll need to adopt a method for breaking up the qualntity in groups (we can pick 20 for example) that can be scrolled through using a small navbar. This will keep the TOC Pages from getting endlessly long and avoid endless scrolling. User selects a gallery on this page to view.
THUMBNAIL PAGE
On choosing a gallery, a thumbnail page is generated (I have this working already)
IMAGE PAGE
On selecting any thumbnail in the grid, the user is taken to the full-sized photo with a navbar and photo counter at the top. Navlinks allow forward and back, a link to the first image, a link to the last image and one link back to the thumbnail page. (I have this working already).
I provide this info in an effort to help understand the basic structure of my site. The description above is as close to a step-by-step illustration as possible.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
wordman
