To create a web photo album:
In Dreamweaver, select Commands > Create Web Photo Album.
1
In the Photo Album Title text box, enter a title. The title will be displayed in a gray rectangle
2
at the top of the page containing the thumbnails.
If desired, you can enter up to two lines of additional text to appear directly beneath the title,
in the Subheading Info and Other Info text boxes.
Select the folder containing source images by clicking the Browse button next to the Source
3
Images Folder text box. Then select (or create) a destination folder in which to place all the
exported images and HTML files by clicking the Browse button next to the Destination Folder
text box.
The destination folder should not already contain a photo album—if it does, and if any new
images have the same names as previously used images, you might overwrite existing
thumbnail and image files.
Specify display options for the thumbnail images:
4
Select a size for the thumbnail images from the Thumbnail Size pop-up menu. Images are
scaled proportionally to create thumbnails that fit within a square that has the indicated
pixel dimensions.
To display the filename of each original image below the corresponding thumbnail, select
Show Filenames.
Enter the number of columns for the table that displays the thumbnails.
Select a format for the thumbnail images from the Thumbnail Format pop-up menu:
5
GIF WebSnap 128
GIF WebSnap 256
256 colors.
JPEG—Better Quality
file sizes.
JPEG—Smaller File
file sizes.
Select a format for the large-size images from the Photo Format pop-up menu. A large-size
6
image of the specified format is created for each of your original images. You may specify a
format for the large-size images that differs from the format you specified for the thumbnails.
Note: The Create Web Photo Album command does not let you use your original image files as
the large-size images, because original image formats other than GIF and JPEG might not display
properly on all browsers. Note that if your original images are JPEG files, the large-size images
generated may have larger file sizes or lower quality than the original files.
Select a Scale percentage for the large-size images.
7
Setting Scale to 100% creates large-size images the same size as the originals. Note that the
scale percentage is applied to all of the images; if your original images aren't all the same size,
scaling them by the same percentage may not produce the desired results.
Select Create Navigation Page for Each Photo to create an individual web page for each source
8
image, containing navigation links labeled Back, Home, and Next.
If you select this option, the thumbnails link to the navigation pages. If you don't select this
option, the thumbnails link directly to the large-size images.
