Web Photo Gallery Missing from Photoshop CS4

Has anyone else found this to be valuable feature that is no longer available? We used this feature regularly as a method for proofing our customers and I have found that the one that is included in Bridge is sorely lacking from the Photoshop version.
Has anyone found a solution or something that works similarly that is can be customized as deeply?

Just to let you know that I followed the instructions in the PDF. Here they are sightly re-edited by me:
To retore Web Photo Gallery functionality:
Close Photoshop and use Explorer to view the extra stuff on the CS4 install DVD.
Here's what you need to copy from the Photoshop CS4 install disk and where it goes:
1. copy "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Plug-ins 32-bit\Automate\WebContactSheetII" plug-in
to the "Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/Automate" folder
(note there's a 64bit version in the Plug-ins 64-bit folder if that's what you're using)
in my case it goes into "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets\"
2. copy "Goodies\Presets\Web Photo Gallery" folder (the whole FOLDER)
into the "Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets" folder
I then have "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets\Web Photo Gallery\"
(This is the part that adds the default templates to choose from)
To add functionality to Bridge (xp and vista destination folders are a bit different):
3A (for Windows XP)
copy the FOLDER "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\photoshop_web_contact_sheet" folder (the whole FOLDER)
into "Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop\"
copy the SCRIPT file "photoshop_web_contact_sheet.jsx" from "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\"
into "Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop\
3B (for Vista)
copy the FOLDER "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\photoshop_web_contact_sheet" folder (the whole FOLDER)
into "Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop/"
copy the SCRIPT file "photoshop_web_contact_sheet.jsx" from "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\"
into "Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop\"
As you can see there's a bit of surgery to do. But if you're careful everything will work as before.
Hope this somewhat re-written 'how to" helps.

"automate web photo gallery" missing in Photoshop CS4

Just thought I upgraded from my CS2 photoshop and realize I can't automate the very practical web photo galleries anymore? I tried to transfer the added plugin from the additional "goodies" file into the photoshop automate plugins BUT a message pops up saying: "There is NO template folder to run Web Photo Gallery"
Can anyone help??
Thanks,
D

Additionally, make sure you have updated to Photoshop 11.0.1 and applie the update to AOM, the Adobe Output Module.

What happened to "Simple Web Photo Gallery" Automation in Photoshop

Hi - I have used Photoshop's automation tool to make a simple web photo gallery for at least 10 years. I have built a business out of displaying photos that way for clients. i do a few things in the HTML but mostly that function of putting them all in a gallery in nice simple columns was of major use. 1000s if not 100,0000s of photos have been displayed by me in this way. CS5 was the last I was able to use it.
What can I do now? Where is the plug-in. Why has this function been moved?
Actually - don't answer the last question. Just help me get it back so I can work with it in CC!
Thank you all so much!

The output function in Bridge - unless it has changed a lot since last I checked - does not give me any control on how big the thumbnails should be, what colors to use, what size the large image should be. It barely gives me any control at all and that worries me. In the version I am talking about we had complete control, that's what I need again.
For example, it only gives me the ability to put 5 rows of pictures. That's not enough. I need a 100.
What are my options? Sorry, I really need help with this or I'm going to lose a ton of business.

Web Photo Gallery Missing - Elements 6 (mac) - Elements 8 (pc)

I've been asked to update a photo gallery in a website that was created with the Mac version 6 of Elements. So I'm ready to purchase Elements version 8 for the PC and I download the trail version. The problem is the HTML version has been replaced the FLASH, which might work okay. But they really want the gallery format they have now, but I cannot find a similar template with the 'Shared' Online Album procedure. It's a rather plain template, but they like it for their site. It has a scrolling list of thumbnails on the left and the selected photo shows to the right. There's an "Image Info" button on the bottom that pops-up a dialog of File/Title/Description/Credits/Copyright.
If I purchase Elements 8, can I download older versions someplace? If I have to hunt for Version 6 on eBay or elsewhere, do the PC and Mac versions 6 have the same HTML Photo Gallery templates/options?

hey,
the workflow is different in pse8 as compared to pse6. in pse8 if you want to create the web gallery you have option either in the File > Create Web gallery.
i am not too sure whether you can download older version of pse from any where.
thanks

How do I Install legacy plug-ins missing from Photoshop CS4?

How do I open a file I downloaded with legacy plug-ins for Photoshop CS4? I am trying to get back the plug-in "pattern maker," which was in earlier versions of Photoshop. The file downloaded to my hard drive as "PSAPCS4_optional_plug-ins.zip.." But WinZip won't extract or install the zip file. It gives an error. Can anyone help?

Your message:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

Does not imply that there is any problem opening the zip file, but rather that the files cannot be copied to the location you are trying to copy them to because of a permissions problem.
Are you seeing different errors at different times?
Can you extract the files to another folder - e.g., one you have created in a folder of your own?
If so, you could then go into Edit - Preferences - Plug-ins and set Photoshop to look in YOUR folder for the plugins.

Photoshop Elements 8 - Web Photo Gallery?

I have Photoshop Elements 8 trial edition and Photoshop Elements 2.0. I would like to create a Web Photo Gallery with Photoshop Elements 8 trial edition just like I have been doing with Photoshop Elements 2.0. I cannot find how to create a Web Photo Gallery in Photoshop Elements 8. Has Adobe removed the Web Photo Gallery function from Photoshop Elements 8?
I want to create a photo gallery to share photos on my own website and allow viewers to download the pictures. The new online sharing function in Photoshop Elements 8 only creates a slide show without downloading capability.

Bob,
Thanks for answering. I need to create a Web Photo Gallery so I can upload thumbnails and full-size pictures to my website and have viewers be able to download the full-sized pictures. The Flash version does not permit downloading and requires that you use one of the provided templates. It appears that Photoshop Elements 8 is a downgrade from Photoshop Elements 2.0 in this respect. Is there any way to accomplish what I want to do with Photoshop Elements 8.0?
By the way, I really like your video tutorial on the Adobe website.

Settings and Web Photo Gallery

I am trying to use the Automate > Web Photo Gallery feature of Photoshop CS4. Why is this not installed with CS5?
I have downloaded the Optional Plug ins only to find it simply refuses to work! I have the same settings on my MacBook and that works fine, but the MacPro refuses to display the Web Photo Gallery in the Autotmate menu.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? In the mean time I will have to use CS4.
Also - Is there an automated way to import all the settings that were used with CS4 version of Photoshop? (and all the rest of CS5).
Surely this ought to be a brain dead obvious feature to add to the UPGRADE of Photosop. All I want to do is upgrade and carry on using photoshop, not spend days trying to find the previous settings in CS4 then get them imported into CS5.
PS - can someone remind me why I bothered to spend the money to upgdade?

I think the matter has come up in other threads, but I don’t know if a 64bit-version is in the books; you could try doing a Forum Search and/or looking in the Feature Request Section if you can add your support to such a request or start a thread.

How to add src, alt and title tags to a PS generated Web Photo Gallery

I do some web design and need to add some tags to a web photo gallery created by Photoshop. Maybe this question should be directed to the GoLive / Dreamweaver Forum but since the gallery was created in PS I thought I'd start here.
I need to add src, alt and title tags to the images in the web gallery. Normally this is as simple as working on the code in the html page in which the image sits but the PS gallery doesn't seem to be that simple.
Can anyone tell me exactly how, and which files I need to work on, to add these tags to each of my 42 gallery images?
Thanks.
John.

You can't do it in Photoshop.
You can open the pages in a text editor adn easily ad any tags you want. They are simply html pages.
If you really want to, you can use Dreamweaver or Golive. Using a text editor is generally faster and easier because you can just copy/paste between the files and not have to worry about code rewriting in the WYSIWYG applications. Don't believe the GoLive/Dreamweaver hype about "round trip code" they both will alter code.

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

Photoshop CS4 - Web Photo Gallery

I just noticed I'm missing several automation features such as "Web Photo Gallery" in CS 4 and learned that now I have to install these features that I'm used to using.
However, my installation is from a web server and I do NOT have the install CD's. Is there a place I can download these "plugins" needed???
Thanks so much for the help.
Leona

J Nack said
Picture Package, Contact Sheet, Web Photo Gallery, and PDF Presentation have been replaced by the new Output module in Bridge CS4. Of these the first three are in the optional download package, while PDF Presentation no longer works in CS4.
They are available here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4047
If Leona doesn't have the optional download package or the media that is her only option.
She got it right.

In the past I was using Photoshop 7 to make Web Photo Gallery. My friend could right click on the pictures from my website and save it in their computer.
Recently I have bought and registered your Lightroom 5 and have updated it to 5.6. But can not program it to create Photo Web Galleries that after uploading to my website would allow my friends to down load the pictures from the album to their computer. How could I do it? Please step by step. Thank you M. Mehdi Akhavein

Web Photo Gallery in PS CS4

They are recomending that you use Bridge for web galleries, but I have always liked the way PS did them.
There is a plug in called "Web Photo Gallery" included with the programme that allows you to use the old method, which I have put it in the plug in folder as instructed. However I get a message that there is no template for a web photo gallery when I try to go Automate-web gallery.
Can anyone point me as to what I am doing wrong or not doing.
Thanks

You have to load the templates for the old method too! CS4 doesn't use them.
This is what the instructions say:
Web Photo Gallery
The ability to create a Web Photo Gallery is now available in the Adobe Bridge CS4 OutputModule. We highly recommend creating your Web Photo Galleries this way. If you would like to continue using the legacy Web Photos Gallery plug-in (WebContactSheetII), please follow these steps:
   1. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Optional plug-Ins/Automate/WebContactSheetII plug-in into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/Automate folder
   2. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Presets/Web Photo Gallery folder into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets folder and then restart Photoshop.
Note: See below for a movie demonstrating the above steps.
Optional: To add this legacy functionality back into Bridge (as a menu item):
   1. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Optional plugins/Bridge Startup Scripts/photoshop_web_contact_sheet folder and photoshop_web_contact_sheet.jsx file into following locations:
          * Mac OS: //Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS4/Adobe Photoshop/
          * Windows XP: //Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS4/Adobe Photoshop/
          * WindowsVista: //Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS4/Adobe Photoshop/
   2. Restart Bridge.
There is also a instructional video on that page.
