IPhoto Gallery in iWeb

When adding an iPhoto Gallery to iWeb, the images are slightly cropped, which make them unacceptable. Is there any way to resize the images shown in the little gallery viewer?

The photo gallery preview window is set for landscape. You'll have to get on to ...

Using iWeb/MobileMe/iPhoto Gallery: how do I get them all to work together?

Hi all. I'm using iWeb09 and Mobile Me. What I'm trying to do is create a website using iWeb and host it onto Mobile Me. I registered a domain name and have placed in Mobile Me. I replaced a previous domain name that I had in there that I used for my image gallery since Mobile Me only uses one domain name. I can see the page I created hosted, no problems.
The problem I'm having is when I deleted the first test site I lost the ability to use the Mobile Me Widget with my gallery. Now it does not see my gallery with my photos. Now the iPhoto gallery on Mobile Me still sees the previous domain name when I type it in. I liked it that I had it linked to the online gallery because then you could view the other photo albums.
So my questions are these:
1- How do I get my widgets to see my Mobile Me again?
2- Do I have to change anything with my gallery to make it be seen?
3- What should I be putting in the site name?

Not for me. None of the MMe galleries will load online or are available in the MMe Gallery widget. Still something amiss.
UPDATE: I take that back. It just took about 5 minutes for the galleries to load. So very slow but they finally did. Some movies in the galleries never would load, like this one: http://gallery.me.com/toad.hall#100411. If you can get it to load and play let me know.

IPhoto Gallery - phantom albums

I wanted to have a separate "drop box" folder for photos uploaded by friends in Gallery.
So I chose a Drop Box image jpeg which I made and placed in iPhoto (so that image would act as the key photo for the folder) as a photo to Share, and created a New Folder in Gallery. Everthing OK so far, but after a few moments I got a message saying that there were no photos in the album and MobileMe would delete the album. I tried again and again and on the fourth try, bingo, there was what I wanted. It worked.
However, when I used Safari to check the Gallery page there was my Drop Box album (good) and the other three (not good) that I had tried to make but were "deleted." These three phantom "deleted" albums appear in Safari but not in iPhoto Web, so I can't get rid of them from appearing in Safari.
Any ideas as to how to stop them from appearing on the internet page? Thanks in advance to those mac people who take the time to help.
PS Apple to summarily execute Gallery (and iWeb) next year. A crying shame for me. Not much reason for me to continue giving them a yearly subscription anymore except that I'd lose my mac email. Or is there a reason to continue subscribing?
Again, as above, any ideas as to commercial photo hosting sites and their value? Have to spend more money yearly. Have done some reading research already myself of course, but often read lots of negative things about Flickr and the others. I only share my photos with a handful of people and with Gallery it has been so easy, just add a few new ones now and then (about 1,000 now) without the need to waste my time "managing" it as I've got loads of GB space on my MobileMe account. Is setting up a homepage somewhere (where?) a better idea than Flickr, et al?
Anyhow, thanks again to those who respond.

Am replying to myself as I have found how to get rid of the "phantom" albums. Logged on to MobileMe, then to Gallery, and there I could delete them. Merry Xmas 2011.

Web Gallery vs. iWeb?

I'm not sure I understand the difference between the Web Gallery and iWeb. You can add galleries on both?
How do you remove a gallery from the Web Gallery after you install it? I was trying to install multiple galleries by doing the shift click then figured out iPhoto was combining all the galleries into one. I aborted and it said it was deleting it off the WG. It did not. The pics it did upload are there and I can't figure out how to delete.

AtlantaRoyce:
Web Galleries from iPhoto differ from iWeb photo galleries in that the iPhoto galleries are run from software on Apple's servers (you only upload four versions of each photo and the server side software does the rest. With an iWeb photo gallery you have design control over how that gallery will look, comments under the thumbnails and that gallery may be part of a greater site with other pages. Then the photos and other supporting files are uploaded to be combined into an HTML based web page. The iPhoto gallery is java driven I believe.
All iPhoto galleries are part of one gallery. To delete an iPhoto gallery you delete the web gallery in the iPhoto library. The photos will be deleted from the iDisk and no longer show in your gallery.
The iPhoto one is much easier and quicker to create but can only be the one style. With the iWeb variety you can change the background, add music to the site. The two slideshows are different also.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Slideshows on Gallery and iWeb

Can I send a slideshow to either or both my .Mac Gallery or iweb site so others can view it?

Yes and no. You can send your slideshow to iWeb to be included into an iWeb page. But for a web gallery you have to start with an album of photos (they can be the same album that you used to start your slideshow) and then create a web gallery from it. In essence you can have the same pictures in both items but they will slightly different. The web gallery will not have any of the fancy stuff you can put in a slideshow. Also the slideshow will be larger and take longer to load for anyone viewing that iWeb site.

Web Gallery in iWeb Doesn't Behave Like Standalone Gallery

From iPhoto I published a web gallery of four albums. When you go to the web gallery the four albums appear. The key photo of each album is displayed. If you move your cursor you can skim.
If I add a page in iWeb and then select Insert Web Gallery and add the galleries each album starts a mini slide show. There is a small black box that flickers on each album icon. When you go to the web album page each web gallery album icon is playing the slideshow. Which is not consistant the way the standalone web gallery works.
Here is the link to the web gallery
http://gallery.mac.com/kjritchie#gallery
Her is the link to the iWeb page
http://web.mac.com/kjritchie/Site/Web_Gallery.html
When working in iWeb this motion eats up CPU. I don't remember iWeb doing this a while ago. Is this due to 10.4.11?
Thanks for any advice.
Kelvin

That seems to be the way it is. Albums added to an Album page are static except for skimming and the iPhoto galleries added via the Web Widget feature are dymanic. It appears to be determined by what application creates the entity, iPhoto for the web gallery and iWeb for the album.
This site has both types side by side and show the difference that you're referring to.

How to post Adobe Bridge Gallery to iWeb???

Hi, I would like to know how to place an adobe bridge gallery into iweb. I want to place it on a blank page so that I can use it as the home page that I will further design around. I did find one other post, however I am not understanding the instructions or its not working. I get something like this:
happens:
http://web.me.com/josefsullivan/Screenshot/
Here are the instructions I'm following:
If it's MMe upload your Gallery folder to your iDisk/Web/Sites folder and use the following URL to link to it?
http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Namer/Gallery_FolderName/index.html
You can embed the gallery into an iWeb page using iFrame code in an HTMl snippet. This is the code:
<iframe height="XXXpx" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:XXXpx;border:none" src="http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Namer/Gallery_FolderName/index.html"></iframe>
Set the height and width so that the gallery is totally embedded in the iWeb page. You may have to widen the iWeb page with the Inspector/Page/Layout pane.
Don't put the gallery folder inside your iWeb site folder as it may be deleted when you publish site changes. Keep it outside the site's folder.>>>>
Additionally, my iweb is connected to MobileMe, and I have my own personal domain name which I use instead of the one they give: web.me.com/[yourmembername].
Thanks for all of your help in advance!

Correct. Go to the Go menu and select the iDisk ➙ My iDisk... menu option. When the iDisk is mounted on the Desktop go to the iDisk/Web/Sites folder and open it. Then drag the folder into the iDisk/Web/Sites folder.
Click to view full size
Then the code you would use in the snippet would be
<iframe height="XXXpx" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:XXXpx;border:none" src="http://web.me.com/josefsullivan/test/index.html"></iframe>
You'll need to set the height and width, in pixels, so the gallery is fully visible.

How do I save an edited image back to my iPhoto gallery?

How do I save an edited image from Elements back into my iPhoto gallery?

You have two options:
1. Set PSE as your external editor, send the photo from iphoto, work on it in PSE and save it without changing the name or format (you don't want to see the Save As window) and iphoto will remember your original + last saved version, although you'll have to lose the edits to see the original again. This doesn't work for raw files and you will probably need to set the Editor preferences>saving files>on first save to save over existing to get it to work for other formats.
2. Export the photo to the desktop, use file>open in PSE, make all the changes you want, save the file in any format with any name you like, then import the edited photo to iphoto as a new file.

Questions about web gallery in iWeb - advise please

I have succesfully republished my old iWeb with iWeb 08, but would like to have some advice before I experiment further. The iWeb Help says I can add a web gallery to iWeb using either "insert>web gallery", or a Web Widget. Can anyone explain the difference to me?
My one Web Gallery has the neat new "carousel" effect and the other properties of this new function. Will any new photo albums that I publish directly from iWeb also have these properties, or are they unique to "web gallery"? The photo albums that I have republished with the new iWeb have the "download" and "subscribe" functions, but not the "carousel" and other niceties of Web Gallery. Thank you.

There are two completely separate types of gallery, one being the .Mac web gallery and the other being the ones that you make in iWeb.
Where iWeb mentions the "insert" or "Web Widget" it just means there two ways of doing the same thing. If you use the 'Insert' menu or the 'Web Widget' button you are able to choose one of your web galleries and insert an animated thumbnail which cycles through previews of your photos in that particular album. A visitor to your page is able to click on it to visit the specific album.
So there you have it, you can either build photo albums in iWeb without some of the fancy Web Gallery features or you can use the .Mac Web Gallery. The iWeb albums will be tightly integrated with iWeb and your pages but you can still integrate the .Mac Web Gallery to a certain degree by using the 'Insert' or 'Web Widget' options.
I personally plan to use both iWeb Albums and .Mac Web Gallery as they both have their merits for different projects I'm working on.

Use video from Web Gallery in iWeb

Hi,
do anyone using video from Web Gallery in iWeb? will it a better way than just drag and drop from the Media itself?

The following thread is about someone who started out with his videos in iWeb itself, but later found it better to instead link to a MobileMe Gallery — read particularly his last post here:
_Casting Director needs advice_
And in reply to one of your threads, I indicated how much faster a video displays from MobileMe Gallery than it does from iWeb:
_My Web Video loading slower than Youtube (same file size)_

Web Gallery in iWeb

I inserted some Web Gallery in the iWeb page. When I click the link, the the displayed the Web Gallery doesn't have the feature of the stand alone Web Gallery, not option for Download, Upload, and password protection is gone too.
Is there anyway to insert a Web Gallery in iWeb without loosing the features?
Thanks

I found that if I passworded a gallery first Iweb would not see it. If I published first then went back, passworded it and re-published it it was seen and was passworded.
It's a bit odd as it asked for a user name and password. entering the same name it both areas worked. The other options appear to work, but as always do not totally prevent someone from taking the photos.

Cannot view movies from iphoto gallery...

Hi,
Using iLife '08, i have published some movies and pictures on my iphoto gallery. All my friends and family can view the movies with no problems on their computers. If i try to view my gallery via Safari or another web browser i get a message that says:
Quicktime is unable to play this movie. Please try again.
When i try with Firefox, i get the audio, but no picture. I have deleted my gallery and started again (giving it plenty of time to upload), but no avail.
Would anyone know if this is an issue with iPhoto/Safari or Quicktime and how can i fix it?
I'm on a new iMac (intel) if that helps any with 10.4.10.
Cheers!

Hi all,
If it helps anyone else-i converted the movies that weren't playing into .MOV files and all is working fine now, i can view them-still cant work out why friends and family can view the original clips, on their older Macs, but there you go.

IPhoto Gallery user friendliness!

I wish the iPhoto Gallery had the page numbers at the top and bottom of the gallery. After flipping through all the photos people get to the end and think there are no more photos!!!! I have to add a comment on all my emails to say that they have to go to the top of the page to select the next page of photos.

Organisation of events in the iPhoto Gallery

Hi!
After installing iPhoto 09 I got this problem: I want to access the pictures from another application (a photo-ordering software). To do this I go via the finder directly into the iPhoto Gallery were I find the pictures. With the older version of iPhoto I found the pictures organised in the same way as my events in iPhoto. After installing iPhoto 09, suddenly all pictures are organised in folder named by the import-date. Like this it is absolutely impossible to locate the right pictures, since I am oranising my events manually. Only to see the picture after the shooting-date would help. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can show the original pictures in a logically organised way?
Thanks for any hints!

to have a referenced library you simply go to the iPhoto advanced preferences and uncheck the option to "copy imported items to the iphoto library" - now iPhoto will not copy the photo but reference the where they are
BUT!!!!!!!!!
now you are totally responsible for managing those originals and assuring that they never move (including any path change due to hardware upgrade or repair) or change
This is strongly not recommended because it will create many future problems:
importing is more complicated
deleting photos is more complicated
edits made to the eternal original will not be reflected in iPhoto
and most importantly upgrading or repairing your system or hard drive will be much more difficut since the links will have to be recreated - possibly one by one
