Simply put our photo gallery management
software is an interactive collection of photo's or photo
albums. Each gallery contains as many photo albums as you
want. Administration of the photo albums are done entirely via
an intuitive, web interface. You don't need special privileges
or programming skills to configure and maintain it. As an
administrator of the photo gallery you start off with only one
user, the Administrator, which can do almost anything with the
photo gallery. You can create albums or privileged users who
can be granted permission to create and maintain their own
albums or who have just enough privileges to view a protected
album.
Albums
An album is a sub-section of the photo gallery
software. It can contain pictures and movies. It can have
specific permissions (e.g., some users can modify it, some
users can add to it). The album owner is typically the chief
maintainer of an album, but the owner can grant those
permissions to other Gallery users.
Adding Photos Albums
If you have the appropriate permissions, you
can add photos to an album. You can add photo's to it one at a
time or up to 10 at a time using the web based "Add Photos"
dialog. With the added ZIP file support, a faster alternative
is to upload a ZIP file full of photos and movies or even
specify a web page and let photo gallery software go and slurp
all the photos and movies off of that page for you (it'll let
you pick which ones you want). A fourth option is to copy
images to your web site directory and let the photo gallery
copy them directly into your album. As photos and movies are
added to the album, Gallery will resize them and make
thumbnails of them for you. The photo gallery software will
also allow you have albums within albums so you can organize
sets of albums together. You can choose which album you want
to be the highlight, just as if it were a photo. You can move
albums and ranges of photos in and out of other albums.
Maintaining Photos
A photo or movie is the basic unit of Gallery.
Photos and movies are grouped together into albums. Once you
have the photos in your album the fun begins. Typically an
intermediate resized version and a thumbnail of the image are
created for you. You can:
-
Add Captions
-
Edit the thumbnail, with a small Java applet
that lets you select a part of the
-
image as the source for your thumbnail.
-
Rotate your photo (in 90 degree increments)
-
Highlight a photo (pick a photo to represent
the album in the main Gallery)
-
Reorder the photos in the album
-
Hide photos (so that they're only visible to
the owner)
-
Delete photos
-
Sort your album based popularity, title,
number of comments, and photo capture date.
-
Edit multiple captions at once
Maintaining Albums is easy:
Each album's appearance can be customized by
its owner in a variety of ways. You can change the title,
colors, background, fonts, and borders. You can also specify a
target thumbnail size and a target intermediate photo size (so
that folks with lesser bandwidth can view smaller versions of
large images). The number of rows and columns in an album is
customizable, as well as a variety of viewer options.
Users
A user (provided the admin allows it) can
create a new album. This user (the creator of the album) is
the album's owner and can modify the album's permissions. You
can grant read, write, modify and delete permissions to
individual users on a per-album basis. Owners and the
Administrator always have all permissions.
Options
-
Navigation: Users viewing your album
can easily navigate around using the navigation bars at the
top and bottom of every album page. Each album can be given
its own unique URL. Each photo within the album in turn has
its own unique URL. You can use these URLs to get directly
to a specific photo from outside the Gallery (useful when
you want to email photo links to a friend). In addition to
this, the album owner can allow the user to use the
following features:
Fit-To-Window:
This feature will scale any
photos that don't have intermediate resized versions so that
they fit on the screen of the viewer. This is an optional
feature that can be disabled by the Administrator.
Full-vs-Resized:
Viewers can specify that they
want to view "only" the full sized versions. Keyword
searching: The photo gallery allows you to search your album
and photo names and descriptions for keywords. This is a
configurable option. EXIF headers: The photo Gallery
displays the EXIF data embedded into images by most of the
newer digital cameras. This is a configurable option.
Click counting:
The photo gallery tracks how
many times an album or photo has been viewed and displays it
for you to see. This is an optional feature that can be
disabled by the Administrator.
Public commenting:
Visitors can write their own
comments on individual photos for all to see. The
Administrator can manage these comments. This is an optional
feature that can be disabled by the Administrator.
Slideshow:
Visitors can view the contents
of an album using a slideshow.
