Web Gallery - printing

I've upgraded from an older version of Photoshop Album to PSE 5. The flash web galleries are cool and all, but I used this product to publish web galleries to my own web site from which my family could print the pictures. Is there some way to make a web gallery in plain old HTML or some other mechanism so people can print the pictures from the web gallery?

PSE4 was
i so
much better at this!
In PSE4 you could create an
b HTML
photo gallery which did
b not
resize your photos.
Now, in PSE6 at least, which is the one I am now lumbered with, every option I've found insists on resizing your photos to a useless little size
i and
putting them in an awful flash gallery!
To my mind flash has no place in presenting image galleries as it breaks all the rules of good web design and comprises both the user and the designer. PSE's implementation is even worse since the designer/developer has no real control over the created file.
b Bring back proper HTML web gallery projects!

  • Bridge CS4 - Save/Print Photos from Web Gallery

    I have only been using Bridge CS4 for the last couple months to put web galleries on a web page.  I don't know how to change the settings to allow people to save/print the photos from the web gallery once it is posted on the website.  I used to create the photo album in Macromedia with "create web photo album" but this was apparently replaced with Bridge, but the old method allowed for saving and printing.  Any help is appreciated on allowing this to happen with Bridge web gallery.

    Solved!
    This works for Windows.  I imagine the Mac solution is similar. Props to William Zauscher for helping find an answer.
    I take no responsibliity for any damage caused to your computer, Photoshop or Bridge...
    In Windows, browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS5 Extensions\Adobe  Output Module\mediagallery\resources\scripts
    In the file named "galleryCreator.jsxinc" replace the lines:
    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;
    ...with the following:
    AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
                    var alteredName;
                    while (true)
                                    alteredName = "_";
                                    alteredName += jpgFile += ".jpg";
                                    var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
                                    if (!f.exists)
                                                    break;
                    return alteredName;
    You can cut and paste the above.  Just save a version of the original file somewhere in case of screwups...
    Cheers!

  • Printing a Web gallery - No

    Can you turn off clients ability to print from a Web Gallery?

    If you watermark, compress at 60% and post only smallish files it doesn't stop printing but reduces the quality to unacceptable quality. You should specify in your contract what a client is allowed to do with any files supplied.
    You can also use htacess on your web site to prevent hot linking of files so they can't use them on a web site.
    However nothing can actually stop someone stealing your work if you place it on the web, any more than you can completely guarantee they won't break into your house.

  • How to improve AP2.0 Web Gallery Quality/Functionality for photographers

    Hi,
    I'm a pro photographer.
    I thought AP2.0 plus a (dot)mac account would offer an easy way for my clients to proof images in password protected web galleries and to download images as well. The resulting functionality is poor in my opinion. Is there anything I can do within Aperture or (dot)mac to improve the following problems?
    1) Why is the image quality of the web gallery slide show so poor? No sensible client would accept looking at proof images of this low quality. Even flickr is better.
    2) Why is there only one download file size, i.e. the original size? In other words, the original file is almost always too large for most web client purchases. Why can't the client choose a smaller version. Even flickr is better, offering several download sizes all based on the original upload.
    3) Since the export functionality within Aperture allows for numerous choices of dpi and pixel ratio to export images, why is this same functionality not there for publishing web galleries?
    It seems obvious that photographers would want to publish web galleries with exactly the same control that we can export images to disk or flickr. Even within the Apple Mail application we have choices of quality and pixel dimension for the attachments.
    What am I missing? Please help.

    When you create a Web Gallery in AP2, there is a set up prefernce to let viewers download an Optimized, Actual Size or Optimized and Master Image. (You can only pick one per gallery it seems.)
    However, I think the gallery design is rather clunky, too many design options are left open to the viewer, and not the photgrapher. I prefer the web pages and web journals for customer proofing using the image number. They email me their choices, and then using Aperture, I can order prints based on their selection. Not the simplist way, but I would not want clients downloading my images, anyway, as you suggest. Why would they buy a print if they can just download a jpg themselves?

  • Web Gallery export troubles w/ LR 2.3 update (Mac)

    I regularly export web galleries (WG) using templates I have created. Earlier today I began having trouble, where LR2.2 would freeze
    during a WG export, and I had to force quit LR.
    At first, because LR was dragging so slowly, I thought it was a near-full startup disk, so I opened up 31 gb of free space, quit LR and restarted. After the problem reoccured, I thought it was because I had large Tiffs in the WG, which I had never done before, so I excluded them, but it did not help.
    Finally I upgraded to LR 2.3, and immediately tried to output a small test WG. When I clicked 'save,' nothing would happen, that is,
    the export window would disappear and there would be no indication in the progress bar that the WG was being created, and in Finder sure enough
    nothing was created.
    I tried several times. Then I tried it using my template without altering any text in the gallery, and it worked. I repeated this and it worked about 90% of the time. Then I tried it again with my larger web gallery (59 images) and again, nothing happened. I went
    back to the simple gallery and it worked; back to larger gallery with text altered: did not work.
    EDIT: I am finding it does not like a string of numbers in the "site info" boxes, such as my file number 090217.
    Any ideas?
    I am on an iMac Intel, with 4 gb ram, running 10.5.6
    Thanks,

  • Missing images in web gallery- strange lines??

    When I make a web gallery and publish to .mac a couple of images appear to be missing or are cropped.. its really odd.. everything looks fine in the preview. Also I sometimes get these really strange thin lines through my images.. I usually dont notice them until I get my prints done.. Has either of these happened to anyone? Thanks.

    nikinoo --
    In the past I've experienced the same problem with some web galleries. The problem went away after I quit Aperture & then opened it up again. I then went and republished the problem gallery without a hitch.
    I too have experienced lines running through my images, but it's been quite some time -- The upgrades that Apple has released appear to have corrected the problems. It might be helpful for you to list what printing settings you are using, there are tons of people here who should be able to help.

  • Original size in web-gallery

    When I send my photoes to my webgallery they change in size.
    Is there a way where I can keep the large files in the web-gallery? My friens want to be able to print the photoes..

    It appears that if a photo's dimensions are larger than 3054 pixels in the maximum dimension it will be resized down to that size when uploaded to a web gallery. For photos with sizes smaller than that the only change is in the file size which is equivalent to Photoshop saving it at a jpg quality level of 8 or 8 out of 12. It would still print OK for all but the very large prints.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries. 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.

  • How can I export Keywords when creating a Web Gallery?

    I would like to include the keywords applied to an image when exporting to a Web Gallery. I have learned how to include the caption, and there's a possibility of copy and paste the keywords to the caption before export, but as you can tell, that adds unnecessary steps.
    I suppose the larger question is "how do I customize the exported web gallery, and the content it includes?" but that will come next.
    Big picture, I'm working on creating a searchable "proof book" and my initial thoughts are to create a custom html template which includes a Google search bar, and indexes / searches the keywords of each photo, exported to the web gallery.
    Step one is to get the keywords to export ...

    Right-click the page, choose View Page Info, and click the Permissions tab. There you can turn off automatic loading of images (uncheck Use default first to enable the controls). Any luck?
    There might be a way to restore that more direct right-click menu item if you need it frequently, but I haven't researched it.
    To clean up a page for printing, you also could consider an add-on like the following: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/ Print Edit :: Add-ons for Firefox]. Then you wouldn't have to re-enable images each time.

  • Help! web gallery colorshift when viewed on another pc

    my web gallery photos look great on my mac but look dark & somewhat dirty when viewed on another
    pc. I have tried importing through adobe lightroom, iphoto 8 as well as directly to desktop then importing to iphoto. I typically shoot RAW- i have tried converting to jpeg before importing as well. Frankly I've tried so many things(including adjusting color profile) that I'm not sure where I'm at or what I've done- I have finally managed to get my images to print properly so am apprehensive about making more changes on my own - I've had my mac for only a couple months so much on it is still new to me...thanks in advance for any help

    Thanks for the quick reply,
    The colorshift is happening on the windows based pc, (I am using safari on my imac)- I am assuming IE on the windows platforms.
    I am assuming then, that it is because the windows users are using another browser?
    what can I do so that they see what I see?

  • Adding title, dimensions, media, for art in web gallery

    i'm a painter/sculptor, and would like to burn a web gallery or slide show of my work to cd to present to galleries, clients, etc. this looks like a great tool, with easy and clean templates.
    while i can get a title of a piece to appear, i would also like dimensions and media to show, ie:
    Arc
    4" x 14" x 3"
    acrylic and paper on wood
    2007
    is this possible? i could do it in Iview media pro under annotations i think, but working with that program at the time was a pain.
    i would think photographers would like to enter info such as title, dimensions, what type of print, etc.
    any help is appreciated.
    thanks

    Back from a long day at work and got round to investigating this.
    Yes, I did have info in the Caption metadata for my images and it did show up in other galleries, just not the one I wanted. I started with the Flash gallery (default) and changed the background colour to white, added my own labels, etc. Ticking Title adds the photo title but ticking Caption does nothing.
    I exported it anyway using just three photos and looked at the style.xml file in the styles folder (in the resources folder). Strangely, the behaviour to display the captions has been set false, even though I have ticked the option(!) Editing this to say true instead of false, saving the file and reopening the gallery now displays the caption. Weird.
    There are actually two references to displaying the caption, the second one was already set to true. But if I specify I want the captions, why did LR set this attribute to false?
    In any case, I created a new template using the default one and this works fine, so I'm not too fussed, just thought this might be a bug that others had experienced.
    Kind regards,
    MCV

  • Ability to download full size originals from web gallery.

    Unlike the pros that sell their stuff online and are concerned about people downloading usable photos, I shoot a lot of community and family events and would like a way to allow folks to download full size printable photos from the web gallery. This would keep me from getting hammered for printable files, which of course are larger than the email attachment limits for most people and thus require a sneaker-net or snail-mail delivery.
    Specifically, I'd like to see a gallery similar to what we have today, with thumbnails zoomable to larger pics that are still web quality. These larger pics would have a link on them to allow downloading of a full size printable image. All of this would preferably be generated and uploaded automatically using the gallery generation interface we have today.

    Dave,
    I imagine that one issue that would have to be dealt with would be some kind of protection scheme. I post galleries on PBase, but not my higher-resolution "originals". PBase does, however, have a two-tiered protection scheme, password-protection, and non-public protection, so that if you post high-resolution files you can do so without the fear of people downloading them without some kind of permission. A lot of copyright marks can easily be cropped and, with a high enough resolution file, can be used without the info for print or whatever.
    Anyway, you might want to include some kind of protection with the ability to download high-res files.

  • Optimum Size for Web Gallery

    In trying to set up galleries that have quick view time, I'm trying to follow iPhoto advise and use a Medium sized photo for Web Galleries. iPhoto help sez:+When you send, print, or publish a photo from your iPhoto library, you need to choose the right size+. For me that would be Medium size.
    However I can find no place to determine size. How can I choose the size I want to use?

    smidi:
    I believe that statement pertains to situation where you can control the size of the file to be used. However, in publishing a Web Gallery iPhoto determines the size. If you don't select the option to have viewers download the photos then the image size is 800 x 600 pixels. If you selected the download option then the full sized file is uploaded for viewer to download.
    For emailing, if you use Mail, you will get a window which lets you select the size of image/file to send. For printing you want to use the largest size you can so you get the max resolution available.

  • 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.

  • IPhoto 08 Web Gallery Auto-resize?

    I am using iPhoto 08 to create a Web Gallery but have very large photo files. Does iPhoto upload at the original file size or does it automatically scale down to sizes more appropriate for web viewing?
    I want to ensure people can download photos from my gallery for printing but my original 12 megapixel photos would normally be overkill for most and I don't want ridiculous upload times.
    Must I re-size prior to uploading?

    King D:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto automatically resizes the photos for the slideshow to 800 x 600 pixels. If you select to have them download the files will resized to a maximum pixel dimension of 3055 x 2033 and receive some jpg compression to bring the size down to a more manageable size.
    I had a file that was 4064 x 2704 and 4.5 MB in size reduce to the dimensions above and 560KBs. For some reason the 3055x2033 size is the largest that can be uploaded without being resized down to those dimensions.
    Publish one of the files to a gallery and see what size it is reduced to.
    Happy New Year

  • Web gallery not working for me.

    Hi,
    I've done this a lot on my old PC, but, I can't get it to work on my Mac now. I want to create a web gallery of a couple hundred print bannerheads, all EPS files.
    I've filled out all the meta data. I've filled in a location, a save location.
    But, when I click "save," it tells me that the "save location does not exist."
    So, that didn't work. So, I tried making a PDF instead. There it tells me that "there is insufficient disk space to complete this operation." I've got hundreds of gigabytes of disk space.
    So, Bridge isn't really doing much for me right now.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    I got a similar problem. I'm trying to use the output feature to create a contact sheet. I get the "insufficient disk space" message also. There are only 3 images that are being included in the operation, all around 3 megs. I have over 290 GB available on my hard drive. I went to Preferences/Cache and used the " compact cache" feature, then restarted the software. Still no luck. I get the same message. How about some help, Adobe?!
