Creating Family Web Sites For Dummies
Creating a Web Gallery in Photoshop Elements
Adapted From: Creating Family Web Sites For Dummies

Photoshop Elements' Web Photo Gallery option enables you to quickly and easily design an online photo gallery that you can add to your Web pages. It not only resizes your images and optimizes them for the Web but also creates the HTML pages, inserts your images into them, and links the pages. It's an incredible timesaver, especially if you're creating a large photo gallery for your site.

To create a Web gallery in Elements, follow these steps:

  1. Open Photoshop Elements and choose File, New, Creation.

  2. In the Select a Creation Type list, double-click Web Photo Gallery.

  3. At the top of the Photos area (on the left), click the Add button. If you started the Web photo gallery wizard with a catalog open, the images are added automatically.

  4. Use the options under Add Photos From to select the images you want to include in your Web photo gallery, and then click OK.

  5. Specify formatting. Play around until you have a look that you like.

  6. When you've specified the settings and format options for your Web photo gallery, click Save to create it. Elements creates your Web photo gallery and displays the pages in the Elements viewer. The viewer mimics a Web browser.

Elements then creates HTML pages and links everything for you.

After the photo gallery folder is generated (with whatever name you entered), it contains three subfolders named images, pages, and thumbnails. You can add a Web photo gallery to any Web site by saving or copying the folder and its subfolders (with all the images, thumbnails, and pages) into your Web site folder.
