Web album help

I need some help with Dreamweaver. All the questions pertain
to the "create web photo album" function.
1) When i click on a picture, it opens up a the picture and
the navigation menu. Is it possible to change the back ground from
white to something else? if so ,where do I do it?
2) Is there a way for the album to show the file name WITHOUT
adding the .jpg extension to each picture?
I plan on adding pictures to my album. How an I add them so
the new pics show at the top of the page. The only way I can figure
out how to add is to recreate tthe album each time.
But that still doesnot let me control where the pics are.
Thanks

I agree 100% with David - please don't use the photo album in Dreamweaver it's just bad on so many levels.  Don't worry - even Adobe is aware of how bad it is.
Fortunately there are many very good alternatives out there. For commercial software the Project Seven Dreamweaver extensions are stellar! for open source choices there are a number of jQuery based image galleries that will make your pages shine. Here are a few...
This one is really nice...

Here's a page that has a number of other options...

ALL of them are far better than the current baked in Dreamweaver option.

  • Bridge CS4 Meta data in web album

    Hi,
    I am looking all over for a way which makes it posibly to show ONLY the description meta data in a web album created with adobe bridge cs4.
    I have been able to have a text for each image in a slide show in every free web album I have tryed. Since I started to use bridge, I have been happy to use it for rating images and stuff like that. But can it really be that Meta data is so difficult to handle in bridges web album?... I think only one of the templates makes it possible to check 'Show metadata', but this is ALL metadata.. very many metadata, and definately not what I want. It can not be the case that bridges web album can not show a description or title only from an images meta or can it? Can anyone help me, have I missed something.
    Hope someone can help me with some hints.. is it possible to make a web album including only description Meta data for each image?
    Thank you very much
    Regards
    Jens

    hmm, maybe bridge is not the right choice after all, maybe Fireworks are better.. but still wondering why this simple possibility is not present in bridge,..

  • How do you add a Jalbum ( web album) to my exisiting website(GoLive CS2).

    JAlbum is a gallery software that makes web albums from your digital images. I am a photographer and I can't seem to find out how to add albums to my webpages. I created my webpage using GoLive CS 2 .
    HELP PLEASE.
    Any other suggestions on how to make albums would be great too.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Make sure you update the paths for the "form action" element and the source of the validation script script(end of form), as they initially are set to a relative path.
    So for example, replace:
    <form action="/FormProcessv2.aspx?WebFormID=10090&amp;OID=910[..]name="webformname">
    with
    <form action="http://BCsiteurl.com/FormProcessv2.aspx?WebFormID=10[..] name="webformname">
    and
    </table>
                <script type="text/javascript" src="/CatalystScripts/ValidationFunctions.js"></script>
                <script type="text/javascript">
    //&lt;![CDATA[
    var submitcount83874 = 0;function checkWholeForm83[..]
    with
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://BCsiteurl.com/CatalystScripts/ValidationFunctions.js"></script>
                <script type="text/javascript">
    //&lt;![CDATA[
    var submitcount83874 = 0;function checkWholeForm83[..]

  • Web Album 2.2 error

    I downloaded the Web album 2.2 extention to run in DW 8. When
    running the extension, I receive the following error:
    While executing onClick in Create Web Photo Album 2.htm, the
    following JavaScript error(s) ocurred:
    At line 1626 of file "C:\program files\macromedia\dreamweaver
    8\configuration\comands\create web photo album 2.js"
    ReferenceError: DWsize is not defined.
    I might mention that when I do a search for *2.js file, it is
    not found on my c: drive.
    Any help figuring this out (how to fix, etc.)?? Thanks
    much.

    I am getting the same error.  I am using Dreamweaver 8 on Windows XP.  Can someone help?
    Does anyone know if the Web Album 2.2 has the ability to change the font size, color, on the individual gallery pages.  I am creating several galleries with hundreds of photos.  THe last thing I want to do is go into each page.  Can some one answer that question also?

  • PCS3 Flash web album into HTML webpage

    Can someone help me with embeding Flash PCS3 web album into a
    Dreamweaver HTML web page? The albums are easy to link to open in a
    new window, but I would like to have it in the webpage.

    Presumably the web album is an SWF.
    You can use DW's menu: Insert/Media/Flash to place it at the
    cursor.

  • Playing Picasa Web Albums on Apple TV

    I have first generation iPad and Apple TV.  I can no longer see a way on my Picasa Web Album app to 'flick' my photos to the Apple TV.  I have the latest software on both devices.  What am I missing?  This used to work.  Any help would be appreciated!

    picasa is not supported.
    only flickr and mobileme.

  • Is there anyway to import picasa web albums' photos to photostream?

    I need to organize my photos somehow and I guess I'm going with Apple due to 48,000 songs in iTunes. Google Music sucked. I have a *hitload of photos on Picasa Web Albums, Flickr, Windows, FB, who knows where else, I'm not even sure I know. Anyone have a good idea how to get started organizing them in one place so I don't pay storage fees to more than one outfit. I like Picasa Web Albums better than Photostream I'm not even sure I undestand photostream but I have way to much music in iTunes for Google Music and I'm not going to mess with that. One of you smart folks help me out a little?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for that info. We don't really share the photos so much as store them. We don't want to lose them as we don't have albums like our parents did we only have digital photos. Does Apple have a service for this? I take it photostream is more for linking up your phone with you laptop? This whole photo organizing thing is taking up too much of my time. I want to snap the photo with iphone and know that it will forever be stored somewhere I can get to without much trouble.....What is the best service for that...????   Thanks!!!!!

  • Turn of web album syncing

    I'm sure I must be overlooking something, but how do you stop the web albums like Flickr constantly synchronising. It's driving me mad. Can't see anything in prefs.
    Sure if I'd originally uploaded them from iPhoto that would be OK but I don't always do that. The Flickr stuff is watermarked and manually uploaded & I don't want a second local copy of my Flickr albums being downloaded every time I open iPhoto.
    And another annoyance is all the keywords associated with the Flickr albums have been imported into my local keywords which is going to take forever to sort out.
    I could just sever the connection by deleting the account but that seems a bit drastic as there are occasions I do upload from iPhoto.
    Help, what am I missing?

    Try to do the browser settings on the computer..
    Adjusting Browser Settings : Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...

  • Do keywords follow photos in export to PS & on into web albums?

    Just returned from 3 month trip and am beginning to organize and assign keywords for about 10,000 images using LR for the first time (4.2). I did not assign keywords during import along the way.
    Ultimately after pp, these images will go into albums on my PBase site, where I want keywords assigned to help with search engine placement. They will go from Collections in LR, be exported for work in Photoshop and then be saved into folders to be uploaded to the website. Will keywords I assign now accompany each image along that process so I don't have to re-do it when I upload to PBase?
    I will appreciate any links to useful explanations of how this process works. (I did a search and have seen some keyword articles, but none address this specific issue re: web albums).
    Thanks,
    Karen

    In the Lightroom Export dialog box, you can globally tell LR to export keywords (or not, your choice). It actually is in the Metadata section of the LR Export dialog box, you would probably want to select "All".
    Individual keywords can be set up to be exported, or not. This happens when you create the keyword, you can check (or uncheck) "Include on Export".
    Done properly, as explained above, the keywords appear in your exported photo, and should be recognized by any photographic application or photographic web site.

  • Make Picasa Web Albums tags from iPhoto keywords

    Anyone know why the "Make Picasa Web Albums tags from iPhoto keywords" option does not seem to work? I expected to see the keywords I added to my photo in iPhoto also in Picasa on the web after they have been uploaded.
    Downloaded and installed "Picasa Web Albums Uploader" version 1.3.1.680 from Google. Then from within iPhoto did a File > Export. The above option is shown on the "Picasa Web Albums" tab. I am using iPhoto 09.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    For help with the Picasa Web Albums Uploader, best to seek advice from the makers, after all, no one knows it better than they do.

  • When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name.  How I can prevent the original file name being replaced during the downloading process?

    When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name.  How I can prevent the file name being changed during this downloading process?

    Hi Glenyse,
    Here are my steps.
    1.  I upload multiple image (jpg) files onto my photo album.
    2.  I select the "sharing" by email option for this album.
    3.  I enter the recipient's email address.
    4.  The recipient receives my message and clicks on the link.
    5.  The recipient accesses my photo album and clicks on one of the images.
    6.  The image opens up to its own screen.
    7.  The recipient selects the "download" and then save file option.
    Here is the part I do not understand.  For some reason, during this "download" process, the original name which I have given to the file is replaced by different name.  So I was hoping that someone knows how to prevent the file name from being changed during the "download and save" process.
    Much appreciated if you can help me find a solution to this problem.

  • How do I keep the name tags in Picasa Web Albums from appearing on the images by default? With Explorer, name tags only appear when mousing over the image, but with Firefox, all the tags appear on the picture as soon as it is loaded, which looks messy.

    I use Picasa to create web albums, and I tag people who appear in the pictures. With Explorer, the name tags do not appear on the pictures until I mouse over a specific person, at which point the tag appears. With Firefox, the name tags appear as soon as the picture is loaded, and only disappear when you mouse over the people in the picture. This makes the picture look messy; by default, one would want to see a picture without tags all over people's faces.
    The only way to "fix" this is to disable the name tags completely (or tell people to use Explorer!), but this is not an ideal solution, since I would like to be able to share albums with people's names in them.

  • Picasa Web albums: doesn't display all uploaded photos. This only happens on my desktop computer. All photos displayed on my laptop.

    Not all of my uploaded photos display in my Picasa web album. All the photos upload, but 17 out of 90 photos don't display. Some are landscape, some are portrait. This is no pattern to what doesn't display (e.g., not every third photo). This only happens when I use my desktop computer. When I use my laptop, all uploaded Picasa web album photos display.

  • Custom Web Album Templates in Lightroom

    I work for a department at UMass Amherst, and we're considering using Lightroom to create our web albums. We used the beta, and there was no way to create custom HTML/CSS templates (besides hacking the code it produced every time). Is this a feature that is included in the 1.0 release, or do you still have to hack the code every time?

  • Psd turn into JPEG prewiews after save for web. Help!

    save for web>save>save optimised as>save>close. That gives me a jpeg (the previous was a psd), but in the form of a preview thumbnail, top right corner bent, loupe and "JPEG" on it. I did about 20 psd just fine,ending in the folder as jpg images, keeping their previous names  and the new  "jpeg" underneath. What happened?
    Not less odd, as I was shrinking the folder window, (bring in the bottom right corner, but this is probably not related), all the previous ones (the jpeg images) turned into preview icons, too. By moving the cover flow, they turned back into images, and by moving them again, they turned back into jpeg
    icons, this time, not with the loupe and the photos, but with 3 geometrical shapes on them. If I bring them back into Ps CS3 and save for web again, and then close, I get a "save changes to the jpeg document?" question,>save,  which gives me a regular save as window, and they stay images, and I could end the problem like that, but that might cancel the previous save for web. Help! goodnight now.

    I guess I have been sending all along (my almost 2 years of photoshop) inflated pictures of images (which however I take the care of reducing to 1000
    pixels from the original 4000 something that they originally are). What's odd for you guys, and normal for me, is that the computer went back to turning
    out  "normal" .jpg images, in small characters, like it has been doing all along, as if it went on a freaky spree yesterday, and I will probably go along with it, just because i don't know how to provoke deliberatly the JPEG with the loupes which appeared breafly yesterday, and that I am supposed to expect.
    I don't have any third party add on (do you mean plug in?) Only GF, sitting there, unused for a year.
    Of course now i am intrigued: Marion: what do you mean by :"this may be affected by normal Finder settings" ? Any settings that i can control to get those JPEG with loupes that I should expect all the time?
    Thanks everybody, i'll just leave the thread open for a bit in case somebody wants to shed some more light on my state of confusion.
