Photo Gallery - CS4 - Book?

I'm looking for an ActionScript 3 book that also includes a
sample or
tutorial on how to build a dynamic (xml) photo gallery. I've
built
simple xml galleries but the problem I'm having being able to
page left
or right when there are too many tumbnails to fit in the
given space.
http://slideshowpro.net/ is the
sort of gallery I need.

I don't know of a book or tutorial, but you could probably
find a tutorial online via Google.
The basic approach would be to have a movieclip that contains
the thumbnails and change its x value to shift things as a group.
You could use an actionscript tween for the movement to get a
similar effect as the site you pointed to.

Photo Gallery using Bridge CS4 - trying to follow instructions, but no luck

I'm running Photoshop CS4 Extended, and am trying to figure out how to create a Photo Gallery.
Adobe instructions for using Bridge to create a photo gallery say this:
Adobe Output Module provides a variety of templates for your gallery, which you can select using the Output panel. Each template has one or more style options, which you can select and customize to suit your needs.
Important: Though gallery previews display a maximum of 10 files, your complete gallery will appear when you save or upload it.
Select the files or the collection or folder that contains the images you want to include in the web gallery.
Choose Window > Workspace > Output.
If the Output workspace is not listed, select Adobe Output Module in Startup Scripts preferences.
PROBLEMS:
(1)In Bridge, there is no such item as Output under Window > Workspace.
(2)In Photoshop, there is no such item as "Startup Scripts" in Edit > Preferences.
(3)In the Adobe CS4 Sample Scripts/JavaScript directory, there is no such item as Adobe Output Module.
There must be some other secret that the instructions forgot to mention... but what IS it???

Finally noticed I was running Bridge CS3 --- my old shortcut apparently still pointed to that version, even though I do have CS4 installed.
When I launch Bridge from within Photoshop, version CS4 does come up.
Will now go explore further, using the proper release...

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.

Web Photo Gallery in CS4

I know the Web Photo Gallery has been removed from PS CS4 and put into Bridge. However, I created a few templates I would like to keep. Is there any way besides using CS3 that I might do this in Bridge? Is there going to be a way in Bridge to create additional web modules?

Cindy:
If you dig really deeply (10 levels down!) in your Library folder you will find the templates for the new Bridge Galleries. You can also use the Lightroom templates in Bridge CS4.
Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4 Extensions/Adobe output Module/mediagallery/resources/templates/07lightroomgallery/styles
I duplicated one of the enclosed Styles and dragged it to the Desktop;
opened it in GoLive (because I like the way that GL displays html code although any text editor will do);
edited the code to give me the background colors, text and image frames that I wanted; and Saved the file with a new but similar name (starting with next two digits in the series and with the .xml suffix) in the same location as the original.
And it works!
You may be able to put your existing templates in the appropriate areas.
Or, you could install the Optional Plug-ins which let you use the Photoshop/File/Automate
web galleries and put your old templates wherever you kept them for CS3.
WARNING:
You should be perfectly safe doing this but if you screw-up CS4 and have to re-install it I accept no responsibility!!!!!!!

Can't open Web Photo Gallery in CS4

In my CS2 version of PS Web Photo Gallery was already installed. In CS4 it is not. I downloaded the plugin from Adobe but it won't appear when I state PS / File / automate. The address to where I placed the folder is:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Presets\Web Photo Gallery
Does anyone have an idea as to why I can't access it through PS4, version 11? Do I have to "turn it on" somehow in PS?
Thanks, Airpix

You installed the presets for the web gallery, but you also need to install the plugin:
WebContactSheet II in the plugins/automate folder
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Automate
Make sure you install the 64 bit version of the WebContactSheet II plugin.
Added: Included in the download is a pdf file that explains the exact places
where the different stuff goes.

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.

How to import Bridge CS4 photo gallery into Dreamweaver CS4?

I'm a novice when it comes to web design, but am starting to master DW CS4. While searching for a way to create good looking photo galleries I found an online video explaining how to do it using Bridge. The process in Bridge was strainght forward and simple. However, I have not found how I can bring the photo gallery I created in Bridge into a page based on a template in Dreamweaver. Can it be done? How?
I designed a template for our website which I would like to use for any photo galleries in order to maintain the same "look and feel" and ease of navigating within our website (www.aquacomgroup.com).
Please help!

I'm having the same problem & desperate to find out how to do this!! Help!!

Transferring Windows Photoshop CS2 web photo gallery styles in Mac Photoshop CS4 web photo gallery

Hi,
My name is JatinderPal Singh. I'm migrating from Vista to MAC and before I purchase the upgrade from Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop CS4 I need to know that can I continue to use my existing web photo gallery styles in CS4 after installing the add-on feature. Because I know web photo gallery is not default in CS4. We need to manually add this feature. I hear from other photographers that this is a problem. Can you please confirm that this is possible

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.

CS4 problem with Web Photo Gallery Plug-in

I have googled answers to the question of how to get Web Photo Gallery back into Automate for CS4. I put the Content disc in, and went to Goodies-Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended-Optional Plug-ins-Automate. There are three files there (ContactSheetll.plugin, PhotomergeUI.plugin, and WebContactSheetll.plugin. When I click on each of the files, I get the message: Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file. This has happened with both the content disc goodies and the Adobe download that was recommended. Has anyone experienced this problem, and are there any solutions?

If anyone is still following this thread....I having the same problem. I downloaded the CS4 plugin and copied the folder to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Presets\Web Photo Gallery but it doesn't show / appear when I go to file / automate / in CS4. Does anyone have any siggestions? Do I have to "turn on" the feature somehow in ver 11?
Thanks, Airpix

Photoshop CS4 - Web Photo Gallery

I just noticed I'm missing several automation features such as "Web Photo Gallery" in CS 4 and learned that now I have to install these features that I'm used to using.
However, my installation is from a web server and I do NOT have the install CD's. Is there a place I can download these "plugins" needed???
Thanks so much for the help.

Picture Package, Contact Sheet, Web Photo Gallery, and PDF Presentation have been replaced by the new Output module in Bridge CS4. Of these the first three are in the optional download package, while PDF Presentation no longer works in CS4.
They are available here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4047
If Leona doesn't have the optional download package or the media that is her only option.
She got it right.

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.

Making a photo Gallery in Flash cs4

Is there an easy way to make a cool looking, interactive photo gallery that i can insert into my website usuing flash?

The safest answer to give you is... no, there is no easy way for you to make a cool looking interactive photo gallery. To achieve whatever it is you consider cool looking and interactive requires understanding how to design with Flash and Actionscript. Your best bet for getting a start on making one is to search Google using search terms like... "AS3 gallery tutorial" and add in any other terms that represent what you want.
