Creating Web photo galleries

You use the Create Web Photo Gallery command
to automatically generate a Web photo gallery
from a set of images. A Web photo gallery is a Web
site that features a home page with thumbnail
images and gallery pages with full-size images.
Each page contains links that allow visitors to
navigate the site. For example, when a visitor clicks
a thumbnail image on the home page, a gallery
page with the associated full-size image loads.
Photoshop Elements provides a variety of gallery
styles, which you can select using the Create Web
Photo Gallery command. After creating a photo
gallery in Photoshop Elements, you can customize
the Web pages in any Web page authoring program
such as Adobe GoLive.
To create a Web photo gallery:
Choose File > Create Web Photo Gallery.
