TTG photoFlow Gallery

TTG photoFlow Gallery 1.0 is now available. photoFlow provides a gallery interface similar to Apple's cover flow for iTunes/iPod.
The photoFlow component must be purchased for $59.95 in order to use TTG photoFlow Gallery, which is a free download.
Details and a sample gallery are available on the download page:

Think I may have found an answer for Mel.
I was having the same problem as Mel, but only on my standalone PC (non-internet connected). In LR, the wooden background is visible, as is the help button, and the images can be moved around the screen but not double-clicked. Previewing the gallery seemed to generate the previews (active progress bars at top of screen) but IE did not open. Additionally, clicking on Preview again showed this error message, even though there were no active progress bars showing:
Tried reinstalling Flash 9 but no success. However, my internet-enabled laptop worked fine, albeit without the double-click working in the LR preview. Then I realised that my laptop uses Firefox as the default browser. I installed Firefox and the Flash plugin on my standalone PC and voila! The preview in browser option works perfectly! I can only assume this is a problem with IE or the Flash plugin for IE.
Additionally, I went back to the LR preview on the laptop and in desperation/annoyance, I started hammering the left-click button on the trackpad (work's laptop, ha!) and found that the zoom function DOES work - if you TRIPLE-click on a preview and do it REALLY fast (was using two hands, one finger not fast enough for me despite my video game addiction!)
Weird. Anyway, do like the gallery, as well as the Slimbox version. Thanks for these.
By the way, both machines run XP Pro, LR 1.1, Flash 9 and Firefox 2.0.0.6.
Kind regards,

TTG Polaroid Gallery

TTG Polaroid Gallery brings
Christopher Einarsrud's Polaroid Gallery to the Lightroom Web module. Polaroid gallery doesn't allow for much customization (so little, in fact, that it only took me about 15 minutes to put this gallery together), but it does provide a fun and casual way to present your photo collection.

TTG AutoViewer Gallery

From the beginning of my gallery work for the Lightroom Web module, I had always intended to create a template for Airtight Interactive's AutoViewer. Despite Adobe's having already released a template for Airtight Interactive's AutoViewer, and because a handful of users have requested a TTG version of the template, I've finally completed TTG AutoViewer Gallery.
Like all of my galleries, TTG AutoViewer Gallery comes in two flavors:
An HTML-based template that includes a header, ID plate, etc., and a stripped-down Flash-based template that previews properly in both Windows and Mac versions of LR.
The Flash-version resembles the Adobe release, but adds support for image watermarking -- a feature not found in the Adobe version. The HTML version supports all of the options found in the Flash version, and a great deal more.

TTG Selection Gallery 2.0 released

TTG Selection Gallery has been updated to 2.0. This is a major update and marks the gallery's transition to a Lua architecture. The gallery utilizes TTG Slimbox Gallery 2.24 as a foundation, and therefore exists in feature parity with that version, supporting annotations, color labels, ratings, ID plate, a wealth of customization options and more.
TTG Selection Gallery is constructed with the photographer-client relationship in mind. The gallery allows clients to mark selected photos, and to submit them with a message/comments to the photographer as an email form. Selections and then be easily isolated in the LR Library using by copying and pasting and selected filenames en masse into the Library's Find pane.
The gallery employs Slimbox, allowing clients to view large-size images in an overlay without disrupting their selections.

Matthew,
As ever, you are correct about the lack of spam resulting from the PHP file.
My next question is, following the discussion with Judith in a
different thread, I can see what she means about the desirability of being able to annotate the thumbnails, however briefly.
I've hacked transformer.xslt thus:
        <tr>
                <td class="imgShadowLeft"></td>
                <td valign="middle" class="checkBoxBg">
                <input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="image[]" value="{$filename}"/>
+               <p class="galleryCaption"><xsl:value-of select="$title"/></p>
                </td>
                <td class="imgShadowRight"></td>
        </tr>
and now it adds the content of the web module title field in below the pictures. So by editing the web title field I can put in more or less anything, and of course turn it on and off.
However, try as I might I can't typeset it using the <ag:formatted> method that appears in the same thread referenced above.
I realise it gets used as the "alt" field for the images in the thumbnail view, I'm more than happy to hack that to just the filename for my purposes; am I missing something about why I can't typeset it?
I tried the same trick in Slimbox and it works but it rather upsets the proportions a bit, so I doubt I'll ever use it. However, it could be a "feature for the next release"; I like it because it means I can use the Web Module Title field for the thumbnail caption and the Web Module Caption field for the preview caption, either or both of which can contain the actual image caption and/or title.
I think it's a good step in flexibility, anyway! I'll be continuing to hack and dabble at it, but my question about typesetting it remains!

TTG Rounded Gallery - Web module addon

Another gallery template for the Web module; uses Slimbox and Nifty Corners Cube.
Get it:

Matt

Ah ha! Now I understand your problem. You didn't delete the XML prog. For Slimbox to function properly in IE6, you need to edit the index.html file after export and delete the first line, ?xml version=1.0?. LR puts it in there, and it messes things up in IE6.
My site explains this under the "IE6 Compatibility" heading:
http://theturninggate.com/blog/adobe-lightroom-slimbox-template
Remove it and things should be fine. You'll have to do this for each gallery that you export.

TTG MonoSlideshow Gallery

A heads up for Web module users: my next project, TTG MonoSlideshow Gallery, is now in a solid beta state, nearing public release.
The TTG MonoSlideshow Gallery template will, of course, be a free download. However, MonoSlideshow is not a free gallery. Users will be required to shell out the $19.95 to www.monoslideshow.com for the SWF file in order to use the gallery.
More information to follow at the time of release. For now, you can play with a demo to get a feel for MonoSlideshow's options:

TTG MonoSlideshow Gallery 1.3 is released. In this version, Stage dimensions and background color are finally honored and displayed within the LR preview, and can be configured directly from the Site Info panel. There is no longer any need to choose or edit the MSSwrapper.swf file. All of this means that the gallery is easier than ever to configure from within the LR Web module, with improved visual response to changes.
Many thanks are owed to Joe Capra, at http://www.lightroomgalleries.com, for his Flash work on this release.

Lightroom 2.2 :: Gallery Problems :: Mac OS 10.4.11 :: G5 Quad 7GB RAM

I am attempting to create a large client photo gallery using two Folders of images at one time. The Gallery Template has been customized and saved, taken from TTG SimpleViewer Gallery 1.6 BASIC. I see no progress bar either. Tried quitting and restarting. Also tried deleting my cache. Cache is set to 50GB.
Does anyone know what might be the problem?
Linda

> A collection is always a good idea for a web gallery - the collection quietly saves the web settings you last applied to it. While that's good advice, I doubt if it relates to your issue - as Jao found, he could create galleries from multiple folders.
> Can you export a small gallery?
John,
Since posting I've made a little progress, but it's really still way too slow. I am creating a gallery from only one folder instead of two. The folder contains 229 RAW files. It looks like the gallery is being made based on the progress bar, but it's very slow.
Do you recommend I possibly increase my cache? And if so, what is a good number? Currently it's set to 50GB.

Web Gallery in Lightroom HELP

Ok, so I want to use Lightroom to create a web gallery, which is easy enough, but I would like to use a different design other than the ones provided with the software. The included templates are fine, but are a little boring and look a bit dated.
Are there any websites where I can download more templates for Lightroom that have a bit more snaz to them?
A good example of what I am going for can be seen here: http://gizmodo.com/5508769/how-to-set-up-your-ipad?skyline=true&s=i
Granted, the page itself does not have a picture gallery but the flash transition that takes place when a picture within the article is clicked on is what I am going for with the webgallery that I am seeking to create.

Pete still doesn't ever include anything I make in his gallery list, even though I actually had the very first 3rd party gallery out for Lightroom many years ago. Anyway, only one of those links he gave will be of any use to you, and that's for The Turning Gate.
http://lr.theturninggate.net/html-galleries/ttg-shadowbox-gallery/
http://lr.theturninggate.net/html-galleries/ttg-slimbox-gallery/
These are 2 Lightbox based galleries, which is what is being used by Gizmodo.

LR3 Web Gallery Sequence Numbering bug?

Anyone else getting this problem with sequence numbering in the web HTML templates? Basically, as you jump through photos the photo number is always stuck on #1, never changes when you go to the next photo - should go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
I just sent a bug report but, wondering if anyone else found a fix for this yet.
This is in LR3 on Mac - really trying to do this on TTG Highslide gallery but, same problem occurs in default Lightroom HTML gallery.
Thanks.
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Go to Web Module
2. Choose default HTML Gallery
3. Under Image Info set Caption to Sequence
Results:
Sequence caption always shows 1/total images.
i.e. 1/10, 1/10, 1/10, 1/10
Expected results:
Sequence should increment current image number / total images as you click through images.
i.e. 1/10, 2/10, 3/10, 4/10

Yeah, still have the numbering problem using the Image Info sequence outputs.
But, if you use the standard Lightroom Flash Gallery it has it's own sequence numbering output (that does not use Image Info captions) and it does work correctly. These show up as 1/9, 2/9, 3/9 etc. on each photo down by the back/next buttons.
Also, the Cell Numbering does work when using the Lightroom HTML Gallery - though, those numbers only appear on the index page not on individual photos.
But, haven't seen a good work-around yet for sequence numbering in Image Info area. Only option there seems to be typing numbers manually into the caption. Or, if you need the caption for other info maybe use one of the IPTC fields like Headline to type in your numbers. You can then do a Custom Setting in web module to have those text fields show up with your photos.
Really hoping we will see a LR 3.1 sometime soon with a fix - should be an easy correction for Adobe.

Importing gallery into Frontpage

Hey All,
I am new to this forum and also am not a programmer of any sort.
I was able to create a website for a friend of mine who is an artist. I want to have a slide show of his work on the first page of the site. Attempted to learn Flash, way too hard. Found LR and loved the ease of creating the website but now I just can't figure out how to get it into Frontpage.
I have read the other postings that have anything to do with Frontpage and they didn't seem to be as low level as I need.
Can I take this gallery and move it somehow to Frontpage and then upload it to my site? I want this slideshow to be in the middle of the first page not be a page of it's own.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks so much.
Laura

Laura,
The default Flash gallery that ships with Lightroom is notoriously difficult to embed into a pre-existing page. And, if I may be so presumptuous, that you're using Frontpage to develop a website implies that your coding level is such that you're likely to have difficulty implementing the suggestions on the BlueFire blog.
A few suggestions:
1) Stop using Frontpage; it's awful. At the very least, use DreamWeaver. You might also try nVu (www.nvu.com). Better yet, use a text-editor to write your own code.
2) Employ one of the third-party web gallery modules available from my website,
The Turning Gate, or Joe Capra's site,
LightroomGalleries.com.
MonoSlideshow costs $19.95, but is probably your best choice for a home page slideshow. I have a Lightroom template for MonoSlideshow,
TTG MonoSlideshow Gallery, but you'll have to purchase the MonoSlideshow component in order to use it. Check my site for details and samples.
To place it into another page, just copy the relevant HTML from the gallery generated page and change the path to the SWF file.
Cheers,
Matthew

Gallery for client photo review

Search didn't give me much useful, so I post.
What recommendations to you have for a easy to navigate LR gallery for clients to add comments and return them to me.
Or, do people have recommendations for galleries they like for presenting images to clients?
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks!
Reid

Does the TTG selection gallery remember comments if I close my browser, reopen it and revisit the same site?
The problem with most stand-alone templates is that they are single session only. If the TTG Gallery or other templates have an effective way of being multi-session, then that is very nice and my next comments are irrelevant.
By single session I mean that the comments and checkmarks only exist for that visit to the website, and leaving the website and coming back makes you start all over. That is a big problem, because there are few things more frustrating than spending a long time commenting or checkmarking files, only to lose all the work because the browser gets accidentally closed, or the email fails to send, or they didn't know they would lose all their work by 'continuing tomorrow', or some other problem happens. Think about it... if you are a client that spends a couple of hours sorting through photos and then the comments are irretrievably lost, are you going to be a happy client?
Some comment systems try to make the system 'sticky' by using cookies, but you can effectively only hold a couple thousand characters in a cookie after overhead, and that isn't much.
I learned the hard way by trying to do some 'little job' sales through the "EOS Template" ( http://www.eostemplate.com/eos ), which is a VERY nice template, but suffers from the ZERO memory between sessions fatal flaw.
So be very careful when selecting an interactive photo system to use with your clients... if the data isn't collected dynamically and stored on the server somehow, I would avoid it.
I wish that I could fully recommend Zenfolio.com , since it has such a great interface, and it allows for the client to create their own 'collections' of referenced photos (a great sorting aid), but comments are not implemented yet.

Web Gallery airtight simple viewer

How do I watermark images with watermark feature is not linked in output section to use - but is in others.

The TTG Simpleviewer gallery takes watermarking into account, and is free.

"Quickproof" client feedback web gallery

I have installed the TTG Selection Gallery template from the turninggate.net which is great for quick client feedback. Clients can click on the proofs they want delivered finished and an e-mail with the corresponding file names are being generated and sent to the photographer. It would be great if Adobe could provide such a template with a really user-friendly configuration method out of the box.
Secondly, generating proofs for web can take a veeery long time if you have hundreds of proofs to generate - which seems a bit pointless of the output is just web proofs.
Capture One 3.7 used to have a "QuickProof" mode which applied WB corrections etc. but still managed to cranck out lo-res previews for web etc. in a fraction of the time it would take to generate regular jpgs or tiffs. It would be really great if a similar draft mode could be incorporated into LR as it would save lots of time.

QuickProof or RSP's FastProofs was, I believe, a way of exporting from the previews. I think that would be valuable as a feature not just for the proofing process (we can already do "draft mode" printing that I think does this), but also for people for whom the previews are their last image backups. We've had our share of requests for rescuing images that were otherwise lost from the previews.
