Create Web photo galleries
6. Add color to your gallery.
To change the background of your Web gallery from the default white, choose Custom Colors from the Options pop-up menu, and use the Adobe Color Picker to make any color changes. You can also specify the color of the text and links.
7. Specify your Security settings.
Choose Security from the Options pop-up menu to set options to display text over each image as an anti-theft deterrent. To display the image’s file information, choose Copyright from the Content pop-up menu. To display customized text, choose Custom Text from the Content pop-up menu and type in the Custom Text field. You can adjust the font, font size, color, opacity, position, and orientation of the security information.
8. Choose your source and destination folders.
Click the Browse (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS) button in the Web Photo Gallery dialog box to locate your source folder. Then click the Destination button to select destination folder for your Web gallery. (These are the folders you set up in step 1.)
9. View your gallery in a browser.
After you click OK to close the Web Photo Gallery dialog box, Photoshop generates your Web gallery. The HTML files and JPEGs for your Web gallery are placed in the destination folder. Once the process is finished, Photoshop launches your browser to display your Web photo gallery.
10. Modify a style if you want to.
If you know HTML, you can open a Web photo gallery style template in a text editor and customize it to contain the font, colors, and formatting you want.
Each Web Photo Gallery style has a set of HTML template files, located in the WebContactSheet folder of the Photoshop 7.0 Presets folder. When you open a template file, you’ll see tokens in addition to the HTML tags. Tokens are text strings that are replaced by Photoshop when its corresponding option is set in the Web Photo Gallery dialog box.
To customize the style, edit the HTML and the tokens in a template file. When you save the edits, your new style appears in the Styles pop-up menu.
