Publishing web gallery without .Mac

Hello,
I finally have my portfolio all set up the way that I want it and would like to publish it. I don't want to have to use .Mac (and since it's replaced by MobileMe now). Is there a way that I can publish this portfolio using a free hosting server?
Thanks!
-Will

Will,
In Aperture, Web Pages or Web Journals can be uploaded to any host site. The Web Gallery function, however, is limited to .Mac use; this is due to functions that are performed on the server and which are specific to .Mac.

Web gallery without .Mac account

I am using the 30-day Aperture trial.
Is it possible to make and export a web gallery without owning a .Mac account ?
I just want to use the web gallery on my own web space.
Ben

Web Gallery is connected to .mac and can not be used to publish to other sites. However, you can make web pages and then export to SmugMug, Flickr, PhotoShelter etc. Web pages can also be exported to a folder on your system and then exported to your site.
You can also use iPhoto and iWeb in conjunction with Aperture and then export your galleries to other servers.
A little extra off topic info:
.mac users will automatically be upgraded to the new MobileMe as soon as it becomes available.

Publish web gallery to a different .mac account

Hi Friends.
Can I publish web galleries to both of my .mac accounts from the same Mac?
It seems like I might have to create a different user account on the MAc itself and make the other .mac account the default for that different user. I would really rather not do that, as I have one iPhoto library with all of my photos for every aspect of my life and work.
Thanks for any guidance.

To make is more convenient to do that you could create a second user account, set it up for the other .Mac account and publish from there. You could either use two separate libraries or put your library on an external HD so both account could use it without ownership/permissions issues.
You can also set up fast user switching so you wouldn't have to log out of one account to get to the other.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Enabling Web Gallery from ,Mac

How do I enable the Web Gallery feature the .Mac website so I have publish some pictures from my iPhone?

If you will search the iPhoto-Camera/Pictures forum, there are a number of threads outlining the steps.
In summary:
1) When viewing a picture on your iPhone, click the bottom left button (send button) and make sure you have the Send To Gallery button available
This button will ONLY be available if you have a .mac email account setup on your phone PRIOR to downloading the 1.0.1 iPhone update
2) Make sure you have the iPhoto 08 update installed (web galleries will not work without the update)
3)Launch iPhoto, select a few photos, and click the Web Gallery button at bottom; Choose all the options include allow upload to Gallery, publish the gallery (if you don't choose allow upload, you will not be able to upload from the Iphone)
4) Choose picture on iPhone, click bottom left send button, choose Web Gallery and send.
Again, there are MANY threads on this topic on the iPhone-Photos forum. This question does not involve iWeb in any way!

Modify a published web gallery?

I don't work with web galleries very often but plan to do more in the future.
I've created a web gallery in Aperture and published it to .mac. So far, so good. Now, can someone please explain the steps to making changes to it ? (add or delete an image, edit the title). Page 350 of the help manual talks about making changes. It seems so straightforward, I've got to be missing the obvious!
Also - how do I delete the web pages I no longer want? I thought I did this on my iDisk once before but now I can't figure out how to remove the old webpages.
Thanks, Dave

Dave,
After you add or delete photos from a gallery that you've already created just go ahead and click on the "publish to .mac" button. In the address box that pops up type in the name of the gallery exactly as you did when you first created it. Aperture will then ask you if you wish to update or replace the existing gallery. I've had to do it several times in the past and it works like a charm. Hope this helps.

Dotmac published web gallery not showing up.

So I have now created 2 web galleries through Aperture 2. One shows up the other does not..
The URL it should be at is http://gallery.mac.com/cbchev68/100191 and it should be called Sushi Hunter.. The other one that is showing up is called Northwind Charters.
Im guessing there is some software bug here. If I go into Aperture -> Web Gallery -> Sushi Hunter. Then in the main window choose Web Gallery -> Visit Web Gallery, it opens Safari with the above URL and I get an error that the gallery does not exist.. What is even more interesting is that if I go into Aperture preferences, web gallery, it only shows the one gallery that actually shows up on the doc mac servers. I have to assume it is querying the dot mac servers for this data, as there is a 5 second lag or so before this list is populated.
Its as though Aperture created the web gallery, but then never actually uploaded the images..
Anyone else seen this?

Well its definitely a software bug, I just created another new album with a slightly different name and it looks like the photos are now uploading and properly showing up.

Publishing Web Gallery on iWeb

Before I decide to upgrade ti iLife 08, I have a question. I have created a web page for our family using iWeb. It includes a photo page and video page. I am very happy with the way it turned out, as it is a good way to post new pictures, videos, and family news for our friends and family to see.
Now comes Web Gallery in iLife 08, which seems easier and quicker to post photos and video on the web, but it kind of defeats one of the main purposes of our iWeb site. Is there a way to link up the Web Gallery site on my current iWeb site? If not, it almost seems that the photo and video pages on my iWeb site will now be obsolete.
Thanks,
Jim

Jim:
I don't have my copy as yet but why not publish the site and use it until you upgrade to iLife 08. Then see if iWeb 2 will work with the older domain.sites file (I would expect it to) and then decide the best way to do what you want.
The new iPHoto 7 has new slick photo and movie presentation capability according to iPhoto's page. Is that what you're referring to?

Any suggestions about why images are not displaying in a published web gallery?

A web gallery generated in Lightroom 3 in 2008 was certainly working correctly when originally published to our (Guernsey Museum) website and still functions correctly from the staging server across our intranet. I have republished it from the staging server (via Dreamweaver) and checked that all the files are present on the live site but still the images refuse to show. The audio associated with the images and the gallery framework itself does work as expected. Another gallery made later and published to the same site works exactly as it should. The ISP cannot explain why one gallery is working properly and the other is not so I'm asking here in desperation if anyone has any insight into possible causes. The (Book of Sark) gallery which doesn't work is here:
http://www.museums.gov.gg/BkSark/gallery/html/index.html
The (Peoples Choice) gallery which does work is here:
http://www.museums.gov.gg/p-choice/index.html
Thanks for reading this far - any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated!

It looks like the Book of Sark gallery has photos in a bin folder. Some servers don't like that, but it could be a clue for the ISP.

How to speed up loading of web gallery on .Mac??

On my .Mac web pages I have both web galleries created from iPhoto, and Photo Albums created from iWeb. All have been created from high res (8 MB+) image files. In iWeb I choose a smaller file size when uploading, to in turn get a faster loading when people view my site. However, I have not found a way to do this when creating a web gallery. Hence, my galleries load much slower than my albums. Am I missing something? Is there a way built into iPhoto (I have checked preferences with no luck), to make it upload/download reduced size image files? Thanks.

I was afraid of that. Thanks for taking the time to try it out. I guess I'll have to stick to Photo Albums if I want fast loading, but I really like the features of the gallery. Thanks again.

How can I email a saved watermarked photo in my web gallery without the watermark disappearing?

When I email a photo uploaded from my web gallery in Photoshop Lightroom, it disappears from the photo. What am I not doing? Thanks.

Check your Export dialog:
Do you have it configured like this?

Can I create a web page without .Mac Account?

Hi all,
Quick question: Is there any way to create a gallery for the web using iPhoto if you don't want or have a .Mac account? I have my own domain and hosting and I'd like to simply have iPhoto build the site, which I can upload to my own server.
I've found no information on this possibility and I suspect that it doesn't really fit into Apple's, uh.. non-freemarket business plan.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi newworld border,
You sure can! Select the photos/album and go to Share>export
In the export window there is a web page button
hit that and set your options.
there is also a plugin for iPhoto called BetterHTMLExport for iPhoto on Mac OS X
This plugin gives you more choices for your web creation.

How to load an Aperture web gallery to .Mac?

I have tried following the instructions in the Late-Breaking News bulletin to no avail. I think it would help if I understood what I'm trying to do. I clicked on "Publish to .Mac" and after some minutes the gallery appeared to be sent somewhere but I don't have a clue where. Could someone explain to me in clear English what happens in the process of publishing to .Mac? Then maybe the instructions will make more sense to me.
Thanks,
John

John,
The address can be seen under the "Publish Album As" name in the dialog box after you click "publish to .mac" button.
For example I want to "Publish Album As" Gallery1. The address will be "http://homepage.mac.com/username/Gallery1"
You could also group your Aperture created galleries by adding a directory when you assign "Publish Album As"
For example you want "Gallery1" to publish to a directory called "aperturegalleries". Simply type "apperturegalleries/Gallery1". The address will then be "http://homepage.mac.com/username/apperturegalleries/Gallery1"
Hope this helps,
Edwin

Aperture to .Mac Web Gallery Help please. Urgent !!

Hi, I having been going round in circles trying to figure this out -
Q1) I cannot find a way to update to my published .Mac web gallery from Aperture(2.1)
When I select the versions that I want to add to the gallery I drag them into the Web
Gallery album in the projects inspector and synchronize the gallery to update, but
only the Master images are added to the published web gallery, not the versions !?
Q2) Also, when I originally created the Web Gallery album Aperture imported my entire
project (All masters, complete stacks, vers etc) but somehow only published the versions
I had selected for publishing to a .Mac Web Gallery. Why has aperture included the Masters,
complete stacks etc in the Web Gallery album ?
If someone could help with this, particularly Q1, it would be much appreciated as I have
a client waiting to see more versions which I cannot manage to add to the existing
published Web Gallery for that client.
Thx

Hi Ernie, thx for responding.
I have tried everything, but same result - Aperture only publishes the unedited Master, not the version with Adjustments. When I originally published images to the .Mac web gallery I disabled all downloads, as the gallery is intended for client review & selection only.
Some further questions if you don't mind.. Am I doing the right thing in dragging versions from the project to the Web Gallery album (in projects inspector)? When I do that I see that Aperture copies both the Master & version to the web gallery album (they are both visible in the web gallery album) The problem is that only the Master is published to the .Mac web gallery (which i don't want), and not the edited Version(which I do want) This worked ok the first time around when I created the web gallery album and published it to .Mac galleries, however I did notice that the web gallery album in Aperture contains the entire contents of the project (Masters, complete stacks & versions etc)
The Aperture manual is very vague on adding new images to a web gallery album and publishing them to an existing >mac Web gallery. It says that this can be done, but not how to do so. I may be missing something simple and obvious, but the Aperture user manual is really not sufficient in this area. Any further ideas or suggestions would be welcome. Thx again.

Web Module: Works great, but is it possilble to publish an HTML web gallery that does not use thumbnails, but just displays all photos (one above another)?

It would be nice if a published web gallery did not require clicking or sliding in order to view a new picture. Is there a template that just puts up every image in the gallery, full-size, one above another? That's how I like my webpages - see, for example, www.sgrhoa.net/betz/150205/ .
Thanks!
Bill

The built-in templates do not do that. At a quick glance, none of the available templates from Adobe's site do that either.

Can't get Web Gallery button

I can't get the Web Gallery button on my iPhone. I do have iLife '08, .Mac account and published successfully albums to Web Gallery on .Mac from iPhoto. I followed the instructions how to transfer the albums to iPhone. I factory restored my iPhone and I restarted my iPhone. I'm up to date with my software. I use .Mac email account as default. I followed the discussions on this issue, which only some of you have, in iPhone forum. I still can't get the button on my iPhone and open the Web Gallery there.
Milan

My Apple Mail account is .Mac. I can delete this account on iPhone and sync it back on iTunes without difficulties. The account works both on iPhone and my desktop. Web Gallery button doesn't show up no matter what I do. As a test I published new set of pistures to my Gallery. The album is on .Mac but I can't see it on iPhone because I don't have the button.
My approach to any issues is that I first blame myself and then Apple. I don't know what else I could do wrong to cause this problem. Still I believe it's a small hitch somewhere.
I appreciate your concern and help.
