WebGallery or iWeb to post photos?

Hi,
I know that I can use either WebGallery or iWeb to post photos and albums for friends & family to see on the Internet.
Can someone please briefly outline what are the specific advantages and disadvantages of either option. Is one superior to the other?
Thank you very much

Dimitrois:
IMO using iPhoto and creating a Web Gallery is a much easier and quicker way to get your photos published and viewed. You have the option of uploading full sized image files so the viewers can download them for printing. There's also an option to let others add photos to the gallery by emailing them. The display options are better with iPhoto. There's the grid, all thumbnails in a grid, mosiac, the thumbnails down the right side the the currently selected photo one the right in viewing size, the carousel, somewhat like iTunes' album viewing method and the slideshow.
iWeb lets you present any number of themes, add comments and lots of bells and whistles to a page. Viewing is limited to a grid of thumbnails, which when clicked will display the 800 x 600 image, and the slideshow, similar to the one in a web gallery. But you can add other pages with discussions, links to other sites, etc.
It's your call as to which to use.
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Publising Error Unable to use iWeb to post photos

I had no problem posting my images to my web page using iphoto ie
http://homepage.mac.com/michaelcampbellphoto/Menu172.html
But since upgrading to te latest and greatest ! I have not been able to publish my images I have tried a dozen times and each time I get the message that there was a PUBLISHING ERROR and each time it indicates a different file .
Frankly I wish i could go back to the old system that worked. Since I use this as a tool in my photo business to show my customers proofs, it is very frustrating. CAN ANYONE HELP???
Thanks

"and each time it indicates a different file"... when this happens in the podcast publishing realm, it's because of a preference file corruption problem. Quicktime Kirk is right about the usual suspects on the photo side, but your comment about it being a different file makes me think it's something else.
Try this...
Close iWeb
follow this path
hard disk/users/username/library/application support/iweb/DOMAIN
open the domain file by holding down the CONTROL key and clicking on it ONCE
you'll get a new window pop up, select SHOW PACKAGE CONTENTS
find a file that is named something like "assets.yourusername.plist"
Yourusername is the account you use on your local mac. When you find this file, throw it away.
Open iWeb and republish. Also... don't use the mac for anything else while publishing, take your idisk off the desktop if it's on, and go to system preferences/energy saver and set both slide bars to NEVER. Also, while you're in system preferences, set your SCREEN SAVER to never. Finally, while your in system preferences, go to .MAC and set your idisk syncing to OFF.
iWeb is a bandwidth and CPU hog. The only time I get those progressive error messages that show me a different file is messed up each time, is when I'm using the computer while publishing, my screen saver or energy saver is on while publishing, or that preference file is messed up.
Hope this helps.

Can't post photos on Facebook from iPad since upgrading to ios8

Since upgrading to ios8 I can no longer post photos on Facebook from existing photos on my iPad 2. Is this a problem connected to the upgrade or something else? Also, since the upgrade my keyboard sometimes freezes up and I have to refresh the page and start over and lose whatever I had been working on. Also an ios8 issue?

I hate to sound obnoxious, and I really do appreciate your efforts to help me. The link actually is not what Facebook normally does. Yes, the thumbnail goes to your FB profile. But if you had pasted almost any other link in the link publisher, you'd get a second thumbnail and a L/R arrow that allows you to scroll through the graphics posted on the linked site and pick one to serve as a thumbnail from your website. Then, had you linked to a page with a long and cumbersome address, you'd have seen the link "cleaned up" aesthetically so that you would not see 4 lines of URL, but a tidy site title and abbreviated link. That's what I'm missing, and scrolling down that iWeb interest page on Facebook shows a lot of others with the same issue.
But as I said, earlier, I really have about stopped caring and am planning to take Ethmoid's advice and can iWeb altogether and look to some other arrangement for managing my site, though I find it ironic that I was urged to dump iWeb by people on the Apple discussion board!

No. At the present time, only the person creating the shared photo stream can add or delete photos.

FAQ: How do I post photos to Facebook from Revel?

Q: How do I post photos to Facebook from Revel?
A:
Sharing your images to Facebook
If you have an iPad or iPhone Click, then first login to facebook on your device. Then, launch Revel, navigate to an album and click on the icon. Select the images you wish to share and select "Send". Select the Facebook option. You will see a dialog box asking permission to access your account to upload pictures to your Facebook account. (if you were not already signed in to facebook you will need to sign into your account.
The images are uploaded to an album titled "Adobe Revel Photos"
If you are on a Mac, then you must select an individual photo and then click on the arrow to share the individual photo to facebook.
If you are not using the app on a Mac, iPad or iPhone, then you will need to upload the photos to facebook from your computer. If you do not have them stored on your computer, then you an download them from Revel and upload them to facebook.
See this link for more sharing details
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5092831#5092831
When you sign in to Revel, it is possible to sign in using your Adobe id, or you can click on the Facebook or Google option and login there. (See image below). When you log in with Google or Facebook, even though it looks like Revel is asking for your password, it is actually a Google/Facebook webpage asking you. By design, for your security, Revel and Adobe never touch or store your Facebook/Google password.
It is possible to login to Revel using your Adobe Id, and then post to Facebook from your phone or ipad to a Facebook account that uses a different email account to login. You must already be logged in to Facebook on your device when you use Revel. Revel will ask permission to use your photos and post to your friends. The photo will be posted from the Revel account your are loogged into into the Facebook account you are logged into on the Facebook app on your iOS device.
IF YOU USE THE SAME EMAILS and want to match up the passwords:
If your emails are all the same, then you can reset all 3 accounts to have the same password if you desire.
If you logged into Revel for the first time with Google or Facebook but would rather login to Revel using your adobe id, and you use the same email for your Adobe ID, you can log out of Revel, log back in using your adobe id (which will fail since you have never used it) and then select reset password. You can change your Adobe ID password to match either your facebook or google one if you want (or make all 3 the same if you choose).
IF YOU USE DIFFERENT EMAILS and want to make them the same:
If you use different email accounts to login to Facebook, Google, and your Adobe ID and you want to post from Revel to Facebook or Google, one option is to make all of the login email addresses the same. You can either change your Facebook/Google email in their website to match your Adobe ID, or you can change your email associated with your Adobe ID in Adobe.com to match the email you use for Google/Facebook.
You can go to this link to reset your Adobe ID password: https://www.adobe.com/account/sign-in.adobedotcom.html

Can't post photos to Facebook

This has been happening on and off for awhile but really annoying during the holidays! I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player (found as a suggestion on line). That didn't fix it but while in my Add-ons I saw Shockwave for Director. I thought it might be conflicting with Shockwave Flash so disabled it. This seemed to work as I posted several pictures. Came back to my computer a few hours later and now I can't post photos again.

I have iPhoto 11 with Lion and when I try to post photos into MobileMe in Share I get the message that iPhoto is not connected to internet. Can anyone tell me how to connect iPhoto to internet?

I have iPhoto 11 with Lion and when I try to post photos into MobileMe in Share I get the message that iPhoto is not connected to internet. Can anyone tell me how to connect iPhoto to internet?

My solution, which is not much, is to restart iPhoto and it then connects to the Internet. This has been an ongoing unsolved problem.

On Yahoo Groups, Internet Explorer show a clipboard function for posting photos. When using Firefox the clipboard doesn't show up, so you can't post photos.

On Yahoo Groups, using Internet Explorer, one can use a clipboard function to post photos to messages. When using Firefox, the clipboard doesn't appear and you cannot post photos on group messages.

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.

How do i post photos from iphoto to a facebook group instead of my own page?

I know how to post photos from Iphoto to my Facebook page, but cannot find a "simple" way to post photos in Iphoto to a Facebook "group" of which I am a member.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

There isn't a way.
You'll need to use another method.

what will be the new alternatives for iWeb publishing, Idisk & photo gallery ?

Thanks for the reply that there will be 3rd party support.
One of the main reasons why I went from PC to Mac was because of all these cool features.
Am dissapointed to see them leave. ( Iweb, Photogallery, Idisk... )

Does iWeb automatically compress photos for faster loading? Or should I do it first? Thx

Hi everyone, when I look at the large photo in the "white" theme's Welcome template, I wonder when I drag and drop one of my photos in, does iWeb compress the photo for faster loading? Or should I compress them before adding to site?
By "compress" I mean, make photo file size smaller! :)
Thx! :)

In iWeb Preferences you can optimze images on import. But I always scale most of my images to 800 x 600 pixels prior to importing. I do this in Graphic Coverter which also makes the image files smaller by taking unneeded information out of the file, which also reduces the file size.
In Graphic Converter

IWeb Making my photos too dark! What the heck?!

Im using iWeb 08 for the first time on a new site.
I've processed all my shots in Adobe Lightroom and exported them as Jpegs in sRGB color space.
The jpegs look fine and are retaining the levels adjustments I've made on the original RAW files.
Then I add those Jpegs to iWeb and the photos seem to lose all the adjustments I dialed in to them and revert to what they looked like in the original RAW files!
How in the world could this be happening?
It's as if iWeb is stripping all my adjustments off of the Jpeg exports.
I dont see how this could be physically possible.
Any ideas?

In the upper right of this forum's main page is a Search Forum bar. Enter the word "dark" and you'll see many threads related to this issue. The following six-page thread may or may not explain/resolve your problem.

IWeb and Aperture photos not looking that good?

hey guys can any of you tell me why
when i done edit my photos in aperture and loads them over in iweb they are not looking that good as in Aperture why is that?
can any help me here?

Opps. I thought I was in the iPhoto forum. Getting old(er).
Have you done this before and had better results?
Are you dragging them onto an iWeb page or into an iWeb album or photo page?
Do you have iWeb's preferences set to optimize photos upon import?

IWeb published old photo names... will not update

I am having a problem with the photo pages. When I first built a photo page I used images whose file names were too long. When iWeb published the files the names became corrupted and would not display.
I can't get iWeb to forget the original file names...
I have re-named, deleted, re-imported, changes the file size, and made all the changes I can think of to get the photos to be seen as new images. No luck.
Every time iWeb publishes the site it uses the "historic" names for the files.
Any ideas? I'm about to delete the entire site and start over... but I would rather not do it that way. Who knows, that might not even work!
Thanks!

I've also had that problem - real headache
Here's a fix (in princple) :
Within iWeb delete the photos you don't want from the page.
Save "command-s"
Quit iWeb
Before re-opening iWeb go and check the 'Domain' 'package' - this is where iWeb stocks the ressources and assets for you as 'user' :
user/library/application support/iWeb/Domain
Click right to show hidden package contents (I use French Tiger so don't know if that's the right command name but you get what I mean).
Here you'll see all the files/images etc you have used in any of your sites/pages.
In principal when you save in iWeb the Domain gets updated and should throw out any images you deleted from your iWeb page - so those 'old' files should no longer exist.
I think what you may have been doing is deleting images from the page and NOT SAVING that change. In principal Publishing to a folder or .Mac constitues a 'save' but I'm not convinced that the two have the same effect on the Domain.
I actually binned directly from the Domain once but I've read elsewhere that tampering there might cause probs.
Hope that gives you some insight.
