Photoshop CS4 web gallery template in Lightroom?

Hi,
I have a custom web gallery template set up in Photoshop CS4. I would like to use it in Lightroom, but it appears the Lightroom web gallery templates are in a different format (and not so customisable). Is there a way I can use my CS template in LR??

Thanks Ian,
I am trying out Lightroom to see if it can replace PS for my needs. So far its not looking good! Looks like I might have to upgrade PS instead. I am preffy proficient with PS and have several custom functions set up. My web gallery integrates with my website and has been developed over a time to get it just how I like it. I can also drop in and edit the HTML to tweak it as I go.

Another NEW Flash Web Gallery Template!

Hey Guys,
I just finished a cool new web gallery template for Lightroom. This one allows you to select multiple images and give them a category name. The template will then separate the images out into different galleries/categories. From the template you can view all the images or just images in a particular gallery/category.
Its really cool! Check out the gallery sample i have on http://www.lightroomgalleries.com
Hope you all like the template! And let me know if you have comments, suggestions, or if you run into any problems.

Very nice. Thanks for posting. It is great to stat to see some real veriety out there for Web Templates for LR.

I want to customize the "HTML Gallery" web gallery template in Bridge CS6.

Using Win7 64bit + PS CS6 64 bit ext on a 16GB PC. In which folder do I find the web gallery templates for Bridge CS6? Is there info available on how the programming/configuration works with the info passed by Bridge - filename, contact info, copyrights, description/title, email, etc.
Please point me to any sources of info.
I lke the idea of setting-up a gallery directly from bridge. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi JJMack,
Can you please explain how you use Phoshop Scripts to generate web galleries? I've created a Photoshop script to bulk add captions/descriptions from a text file to image files, so I have some JS scripting skill. Are you willing to share your scripts?
I really like the ability to setup the oder of my gallery in Bridge (images in rows and columns) then directly generate a small 20-40 image gallery, with descriptions, file names, etc.
I'm also looking at Lightroom 5 to produce small web galleries. It appears that the post-processor from Turning Point is suggested.
I only use the Bridge as a metadata Editor and I do not use Lightroom. I know the Bridge can be scripted where files can be selected in Bridge the passed to Photoshop and Photoshop Scripts like the Image Processor scripts through Bridge talk. My script does not have Support for the Bridge through Bridge talk. You may be able to add that support, My Scripts use some of the metadata fields like Photoshop Wed Galleries used them and also has an option to support EXIF information. When the Web Gallery is created Photoshop starts your web browser on it like Photoshop Web Gallery feature did so you can verify it, My Script does not Upload the galleries to you web server like the Bridge output module can. I rather use FTP then tie up Photoshop transferring the gallery over the web. My Scripts are just hacks of a Script Jeff created for the Simpleviewer Flash Web Gallery, The script support that Flash Gallery and their other Flash Galleries and the Flash WS-Slideshow Gallery so mobile devices without Flash support can not view my galleries. So some nice tablets with High resolution displays are not supported, The Scripts basically uses canned HTML for the Gallery Viewer and writes the XML file for your Images getting the information for title and description ect from the image files metadata, The Format of the gallery is also controlled in the XML file written by the script. I just hack at JavaScript and because I don't use the Bridge for selection and order it did not brother me that Jeff's code did not support or use Bridge talk It simply includes all image from a folder into the gallery it creates. It uses Photoshop Script to create the gallery tree with Thumbnails and web size images with optional visible watermark text stamp, Web image size is set like fit image my scripts default size is 1600x1200. All my Photoshop stuff is free and downloadable from this link

CS4 Web Gallery, Uploaded gallery does not appear

I was wondering if anyone can help me with the Web Gallery that Bridge CS4 produces.
I have used Bridge CS4 to create a web gallery. After Bridge has finished creating it the result is a folder called Adobe Web Gallery. Inside that folder is an index.html file and a folder called resources. If I double click on the index.html file the web gallery opens in Safari (Mac). So all is good so far, it tests OK from my hard drive.
Then I upload it to my ISP server using Fetch, as I did when using the Photoshop CS3 web gallery automate feature, which is upload the index.html file and the resources folder with all of its content into a folder on my isp members area. I then create a link to the index.html file. When I try the link it produces a blank page in Safari called " Adobe Web Gallery", and the rest of the page is blank.
When I upload the files with Fetch I copy the exact structure as they appeared in the folder on my hard drive. I have tried to upload the gallery directly from Bridge CS4 but Bridge does not seem able to create a connection with my ISP.
In the meanwhile I am still using Photoshop CS3 to do my web galleries, I 'd just like to get the CS4 version operating as it looks like a better product.
I am using a Mac Pro Quad duo 2.8 with 4 G Ram.
regards
David

Try it this way:
Re-name the folder called Adobe Web Gallery to a name which is more appropriate for its contents; then upload the complete AWG Folder, with all of its contents, to your ISP Server.
Now create a Link (with an appropriate label) on the main index page (Home page) on your site and link that "Link" to the index.html in your new Gallery folder.

Transition timings in Web Gallery templates

All,
Have to admit, I've never delved deeply here, instead building slideshows in Lightroom and iPhoto. Is there any way to speed up, slow down, etc., the transition timings in the Web Gallery templates provided? Any way in building User Templates to do it? I did a search, and found an old 2007 request on LR 1 that went unanswered.
Thanks.

I never usung LR1. But in LR 3 problem "there any way to speed up, slow down, etc., the transition timings" - Slide Duration in other words... this task solve very easy:
In Slideshow module panel at the right part we have tools that include:
Options
Layout
Overlays
Backdrop
Titles
and Playback - that what we need, this tool consist Slide Duration where you can choose in scroll boxes:
Sliders (the sample 4,0sec), Fades (2,5sec)
I think somthing very near (like) must be in oldeer versions of LR.
Hope help u in somesing (so dont foget pushing stars )
Zhdesigner,
I think what you are saying is that we need those same type tools (slide duration, fading, etc.) in the Web Module. If so, then I agree. I do not see anyway to adjust the timings of the Web Module templates.
Anyone??

Edit Photoshop Flash Web Gallery

Hi!
I'm completely new to Flash but I've been trying to edit the
Flash gallery 1 included in Photoshop CS2. What I like to do is to
make links from the title in the head. I figured out how I can copy
the code for the email field that already exists. But I cant really
understand how I change it so it works on a webpage instead of an
email.
The template I'm using can be downloaded here:
Photoshop
Flash Web Gallery
I found the specific code in title.class.as
The code I want to change looks like this:
if (email != undefined) {
var emailObj = this.createEmptyMovieClip('email_mc',
this.nextDepth())
emailObj.beenClicked = false;
//trace ('we have email info it is '+email);
currentY -= titleH2.size;
emailObj.createTextBlock('email_txt', currentX, currentY,
'dynamic', titleH2, 1600, 20, false, false, true, false, email,
config.embedFont, false);
emailObj.email_txt._width = emailObj.email_txt.textWidth+10;
emailObj.email_txt.textColor = theGallery.link.toHex();
emailObj.onRollOver = emailObj.onDragOver = function () {
//trace("over");
this.email_txt.textColor = theGallery.link.toHex();
emailObj.onRollOut = emailObj.onDragOut = function () {
//trace("out");
if (this.beenClicked == false){
this.email_txt.textColor = theGallery.link.toHex();
} else {
this.email_txt.textColor = theGallery.vlink.toHex();
emailObj.onPress = function () {
//trace("out");
this.email_txt.textColor = theGallery.alink.toHex();
emailObj.onRelease = function () {
this.beenClicked = true;
this.email_txt.textColor = theGallery.vlink.toHex();
mailTo ( email)
//trace("release");
What I want to do is to create a link in the code for:
if (one != undefined) {
//trace ('we have a one it is '+one+' that is '+one.length);
currentY -= titleH2.size;
this.createTextBlock('one_txt', currentX, currentY,
'dynamic', titleH2, 1600, 20, false, false, true, false, one,
config.embedFont, false);
Lets say that I want it to link to a page called one.htm
How do I do this?

This would be the least instrusive hack I can find that may get you around the problem. In the js fle there is a function...
function detectFlash(ver) {
if (getFlashVersion() >= ver) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
Try changing this function to...
function detectFlash(ver) {
if (getFlashVersion() >= ver) {
return true;
} else {
return true;
This should eliminate making the text appear. If not, there's another thing you can try.
A better approach wuld be to use more up to date embedding code, though I cannot say whether the js file is written specifically for this Flash application such that it includes code that talks to the Flash file.

Only eleven web gallery templates in Adobe Bridge?

Only eleven web gallery templates? If possible, how and where can I get more templates? Thanks in advance.

The zoom-percentage that is the same as "print size" differes from Monitor to Monitor but in all versions of photoshop before the last couple of posted updaters in CS6, you could set your Screen resolution in the the Prefs. and View at Print Size would provide the correct zoom automatically.
You can either find the correct screen-resolution for your monitor by measuring the image on your screen with a physical ruler and applying some basic arithmetic to it — or you can go into Acrobat Pro (which apparently has the ability to find the correct values automatically while Photoshop apparently lacks that capability!) and copy the value from there.
I understand that this feature has been dropped from Photoshop CS6 13.0.2 and later because the Photoshop team could not make it work with Retina.
For this reason, I am not intending to install any Updaters beyond 13.0.1 until this issue is fixed.
However, a Script has been published on this Site which does provide a calculated value which you then copy/paste into the Zoom box in the bottom left corner of the Photoshop window.

Is there a way to create my own web gallery template for bridge?

Is there a way to create my own web gallery template for bridge?
I want to add custom data that is not in any of the templates.
Pretty much, I'd like to create one from scratch...

This was discontinuted in CS5 howerver you could migrate that plugin to CS5. I don`t know if you can do this with CS6.
To my knowledge they only provided a revised Contact sheet II script for CS6. In my opinion a very bad idea because they should have put all efforts and resources to enhance the Output Module PDF contact sheet that has far more options.
Still not using web galleries but the goal for web gallery was also to use this in the Adobe Output Module, maybe that provides you the options you want?

Photoshop CS2 web gallery

I attempting to use the Photoshop CS2 web gallery to incorporate into my iweb page.
I have found how to make the gallery and have set up a folder, however, I am unsure of where to go from here.
Can I place this slideshow into iWeb? And if so, how?
thanks for your help,
Felisha

Varkgirl,
I am now unable to view the page on "adding slideshows" for some reason it is not coming up.....However,
I am trying to add multiple galleries to one page and while reading rowan-cottages website it directs me to your page. I am using iphoto expert to create the slideshows and in your instructions where it says something like "find hre and add _________" I can't find it on the html page I created using iphoto expert. I didn't know if it would only appear on the web export html page or am I just overlooking it?
If your instructions for adding multiple galleries only apply to web export, I'm wondering if you can answer another question...
On the SimpleViewer FAQ's page it says:
"To create multiple galleries of images, make a copy of the whole SimpleViewer folder for each gallery. Create your individual galleries as normal. You can now create a menu page that links to the index.html page in each sub-folder."
I'm new at this thing and don't understand what making a copy of the "whole SimpleVier folder" means...are they saying copy the "slideshow" folder..and if they are, why would the put "create your individual galleries as normal" after that sentence?
AND
How would I go about "creating a menu page"
I appreciate your expertise greatly!
take a look at the "test" page on my website. I don't know what to do with the box that says "IFRAMECODEGOESHERE"... pictwist.net

Where are Lightrooms's web gallery templates stored on a Mac?

I want to re-create a html-web gallery that I used in CS4 and that was integrated in my own website. I wonder where the template are stored i Lightroom on a a Mac, so I'm able to copy and modify them. The possibility for modification inside LR are not enough.
/Fredrik

They're inside the app itself, so use Finder and Show Package Contents to dig into the lrweb module.

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

Check this out:
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2009/04/a_few_useful_reminders.html
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.

Keep CS5 HTML "lightroom" web gallery template from renaming files...

When creating an HTML Web Gallery (using ‘Lightroom’ template), Bridge CS5 renames the thumbs and large images to an arbitrary number. The caption reads as the original file name, but the actual image has a new name. This is problematic, as my clients will right-click selected images from my galleries to save and forward for approval, but the file name is not the same as the original.
As an example: VLNK0321.jpg is renamed as _4856316150.jpg. (In Preferences/Output, the "Convert multi-byte file names to Full ASCII" is unchecked.)
Is there any way to fix this little (for me--BIG) problem? Can the script be altered to keep the original file name, not the ten-digit arbitrary number that it currently generates?
Thanks for any help offered!

I believe I've discovered the file/script that does the renaming. I've done some testing, and have been able to change the way Bridge does the changes, but not able to keep the original file name.
The file is "galleryCreator.jsxinc", found in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS5 Extensions\Adobe Output Module\mediagallery\resources\scripts.
I'm not a code-guy, so I'm hoping that someone with more smarts than I can help. Below is the part of "galleryCreator.jsxinc" that does the re-naming. Simply deleting this entire part of the script renders Bridge unusable. So allowing the script to create the altername is important. If the alteration could consist of only adding the "underscore" prefix to the original file name, all would be well...
Here's the pertient portion of the script:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
    var alteredName;
    while (true)
        alteredName = "_";
        for (var i=0; i<10; i++)
            alteredName += Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
        alteredName += ".jpg";
        var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
        if (!f.exists)
            break;
    return alteredName;
I will send a check for $200 to the first person who can rewrite this to simply add the underscore first, then return the original file name instead of the random number generator, and make it work. Anyone?

CS4 Web Gallery Limitations?

Hi,
I just tried building a web gallery using Bridge and, guess what, it seems to be limited to 10 images. I seem to remember a similar limitation in the 'test' version but I was sure they would fix it before the product went live. If somebody knows a way to get around the limit please let me know. Running Windows,Vista, CS4 Photoshop.
Thanks,
J.

so let me get this straight...Adobe's flagship product Ps, is now second fiddle to Lightroom in web capability?
It always great to buy an upgrade and discover it offers less, thank you CS4 lead at Adobe!!!!

Photoshop CS3 web gallery bugs(?); vanishing metadata, bad sort order

Running OS 1.5.4 on 24" Imac, I'm attempting to generate a "horizontal slideshow" from bridge-selected files in Photoshop CS3.
[Sounded like the problem in this post: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2 but on re-reading I've decided it's different so I'm giving it it's own thread, with more detail...]
Here's my experience:
1) Description and title show up for a second on the first slide, then revert to just the blank template on that and all subsequent slides (title: [blank] description: [blank]....
Hitting "refresh" produces the descriptive metadata for a tantalizing moment, then it' s back to the blank template for this and all subsequent slides. It does this both for Safari and Firefox.
You can view this behavior in a slideshow at http://oasisdesign.net/projects/earthtoilet/
If it asks for a password, use---
user:earthling
pass: draf1 )
"preserve all metadata" is checked.
I've tried all combinations of checking/ unchecking "title, description, filename" for labeling...also, making slideshows with just one or two slides to reduce the chance that it's a weird character issue of the type some other folks have experienced...
2) additionally, the web gallery is not respecting the manual sort order in Bridge, which is the source of the files. The help files say the slideshow should follow the manual sort order in Bridge.
3) Finally, metadata entered in bridge metadata tab sometimes vanishes, sometimes metadata entered in file info wouldn't show in the metadata tab.
Thanks for your help!!

BTW, here's the related issues I found:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2
...After some investigation, I found that the descriptions were disappearing only for photos that had a Return / Line Break in the description. If you go back and make sure all of your descriptions are a single line, it works fine....
=Don't have line breaks, nor "and" nor &...
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bff9de1/0
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bd62ec3/0

OK...here's the hack I used to get around what I'm now totally convinced are program bugs and shortcomings relative to advertised functionality, for anyone else who has to deal with this, followed by my (suggested fixes to Adobe)...
1) Sort everything the way you want in bridge.
2) Make meta descriptions w/o weird characters (a warning here would be helpful)
3) Use "batch rename," with "copy to another folder" to give the images totally plain vanilla, DOS-style file names (001.jpg, 002.jpg...). This solves most filename issues and the works around web gallery's failure to recognize bridge sort order in one go. Note that you can irrevocably screw up the names of all your original files if you're not very careful to COPY at this step.
([a] make the bridge sort work directly, as advertised, por favor. [b] add an error message or warning about file names such as 006-(2).jpg causing malfunction. A compassionate, low-effort short-term patch for Mac users of web gallery, especially since bridge generates that particular sort name itself invisibly and automatically if you move a file with the same name into a folder)
4) Use "white on black" instead of bug-ridden "horizontal slideshow" (horizontal slideshow should be fixed or deleted from the next version...multiple slideshow options would be awesome, as they advance automatically at the max rate the user's bandwidth allows, a very attractive feature)
5) Restrict all images to the same height so users can click *in the same spot* to advance the 200 images with less carpal tunnel (the advance arrow should *always* be in the same spot, for every web gallery, IMHO)
Web galleries are a fantastic tool for sharing information easily...I hope to see some evolution in those great automatic updates someday...

XSL, XML, and Metadata Names in Web Gallery Templates

I don't know exactly how to ask the question, but what I want to do is customize the information that appears below a full-size image in an HTML web gallery. For the existing HTML gallery templates, this is the area where "caption" data is placed. You can display just about anything you want there, but you are essentially limited to a single line with no ability to format spacing. I would like to be able to show mutiple lines and format the way I want, which would be pretty easy in HTML.
I have created a custom web gallery, and I have learned where in the transformer.xslt file the caption information is placed. However, I do not know what the metadata field names are, or more importantly how to place them in HTML. Does anyone here know enough about XSL to give me hand? Any kind of direction would be greatly appreciated.

Try John Nack's blog
there was some initial info there.
Also Sean McCormack has done a lot of work on hacking the templates
