Creating and configuring a web gallery in Lightroom
Selecting a web gallery
The best part is that after you’ve defined a preset (or template) for your web gallery, creating a gallery with a set of new images requires almost no time at all. You select the images, select the preset, and post your images. That represents a tremendous benefit in terms of efficiency, and provides a clear example of why workflow software such as Lightroom can help you with your day-to-day tasks related to your photography.
Selecting images for a web gallery is identical to selecting images for a slideshow. By way of review, the process generally starts by selecting an appropriate option from the Library module (Figure 1) in the Library, Folders, Collections, or Keywords sections of the left panel. If you want to further refine a selection of images to use for a web gallery, you can add them to the Quick Collection and use that as the basis of your gallery.

It is worth noting that if you change the selection of images while you’re in the middle of working on a website, the gallery preview and therefore the final web gallery will be automatically updated on the fly to reflect the change in images to be included.
