Lost "Web Photo Gallery" Functionality!

I have custom "Web Photo Gallery" templates that I have used for years to present proofs to clients in an .html web gallery. These are no longer funbctioning in CS5. Using a third party solution is not an option unless it can use my pre-existing custom layouts. Running in 32bit mode defeats the purpose of upgrading to the theoreticlly faster and more robust CS5 and does not represent a useful solution. My intention in upgrading was to speed up my workflow. (And also leave behind CS4's eternally crashing Bridge.)
In another thread it was explained that it is not cost effective to correct this issue, but I feel misled. I was specifically told by sales that this functionality was present. I should have been made aware that in order to work, I would need to quit out and reconfigure the software to 32bit mode each time I wish to build a gallery; a solution that is no more helpful than opening CS4 and building web galleries there.
I need some sort of definitive solution that does not slow my process.

I feel your pain about Adobe.. I guess it has become normal to lie to prospective clients or even recurring clients..

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.

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.

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.

Problem Uploading Web Photo Gallery in DW

I'm a newbie at this, so please bare with me. I've been at this same problem for 3 days & I'm finally breaking down & asking for help. I want to be as helpful as possible here, so I'm just going to give as much info as I can, so I'm sorry in advance if some of it doesn't matter.
I created my web photo gallery through PS & am putting them into DW with the iFrame. My connection works just fine when I preview it, as I can jump from page to page, seeing all of my galleries. I'm been able to put my pages up, but the galleries do not come up. I keep getting the error 404 message up in all of my frames.
I have all of my galleries in one file, with each specific gallery in a sub-folder with all of the attachment files.
I've tried every combination I can think of when it comes to my local root folder and default images folder to see if I just had the wrong folder selected. I'm more so thinking it would have to be the DIF if it were anything like this, because the LRF has to be the main folder. I've tried to C&P the gallery file in several different folders, use it as my DIF, put it, & see if it works, & it doesn't. I tried to upload the galleries themselves through my web server (host monster) and also cyberduck.
I've read everything I could find, & I read that I needed to link up the index.html to the page I'm building. But I assumed I already did that, other wise I wouldn't be able to preview it right? If I still need to do this, where should I go into specifically to do this?
I also read I should link up the files from the navigation system in DW. Where would I go about doing this?
As you can see, I'm pretty lost.

That page is not on the server - did you upload it? By the way, it's not a good idea to use spaces in your file/pathnames for the web.
The page is just not where you have told the browser to look for it here -
<iframe height="600" width="600" marginheight="250" marginwidth="250" src="galleries/grant park/index.htm"</iframe>

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.

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
Kind Regads
Cam

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!!

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.

CS2 Automate Web Photo Gallery causing photoshop to crash

All attempts to use this function end in Photoshop crashing.
Photoshop CS2 on OS10.5.4 - Imac 7,1 - 2.4 Ghz
Anyone else experiencing this?

SUCCESS!!!! This worked:
I have found this on the Adobe Support site:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402781
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.

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.

How to have more than one Bridge Web Photo Gallery in a site

I'm having a problem inserting more than one bridge web photo gallery in my site. I have thumbnails of different jobs and when clicked I want a new page to load with all the images of that job. I have one thumbnail linked to one of the galleries and I made another gallery and can't find the code to change to link it to the new html gallery. When the page loads it shows the first gallery I made instead of the new gallery.
Example:
I made a gallery of a deck job and on my photo page there is a thumbnail. When clicked it brings up the deck.html photo gallery made in bridge cs4. Good!
Now, I made a gallery of an outdoor fireplace and on my photo page there is a thumbnail. When clicked it should load the photo gallery of the outdoor fireplace. It loads the gallery of the deck instead.
I understand that the code needs to be changed to link to the new files. I changed the "resource" folder for the outdoor fireplace to "resource2" and changed the code script src="resources" to script src="resources2" and it did not work
I suspect that I need to change the code that points to group.xml and rename the new photo gallery group.xml to group2.xml so it will find the one in my resources2 folder, but I can't find the code anywhere.
Any help would be great. Also, if there is a better way of doing this let me know?
Thanks

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.

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.

Problem exporting web photo gallery in Adobe Lightroom

Can not export a web photo gallery using SlideShowPro 1.9.8.5 in Adobe Lightroom 1.4. In the Web Tab I click on Export which brings up the Save Web Gallery window, I select location, give a file name and click save, but nothing is created. Have noted that in the Save As Type box the only option is Supported Files, is this OK? If so, what could the problem be?

Can't answer the question without looking at the code. Being you have DW, I would parse the code there and you will get more help in the Dreamweaver forum.

Problem viewing Web Photo Gallery in IE6

Has anyone else encountered this issue or know of a reason why this would happen?

Modifying web photo gallery templates

Hi all! I created a web photo gallery in Photoshop. I want to modify the template so that I can make the gallery look more in line with the rest of the site I'm designing. I see in the Help Center that I need to modify the "tokens" in the html, but I'm at a loss as to how to do this. Is there a site online somewhere that can explain this to me better? Thank you so much!
Julie

Hi Dave! Thanks! I did do a search, but apparently I didn't put in the right search words, as my search didn't turn up anything useful. I'll check out what you sent me.
