MAKING A WEB ALBUM

Web Albums are essentially albums that are viewable as Web pages. They display
thumbnails of all types of files. You can then click on these thumbnails to view the actual
files. When the thumbnails link to image files,a new Web browser window will open
displaying the image. Along with the image,there will be navigation controls that let the
user browse the different images included in the album.
To create a Web Album:
1. Click Create on the menu,then click "Create Web Album." Alternately, you
can click Make Web Album on the Toolbar.
2. The creation process will begin. The first step involves selecting the files in
the current folder/album that you'd like to include in the presentation.
Highlight the files you'd like to use,then click Add>. To add all available files to the
presentation, click Add All>. Click the respective Remove button to remove files.
3. The next step in the creation process involves selecting your layout options.Give the
Web Album a name,and select the number of columns and rows of thumbnails that
you'd like each page in the album to have. You can also select the thumbnail size
(small,medium, or large),and set the background color of the pages.
4. The final step involves selecting your save destination. You can choose to burn the
presentation to a CD, or save it to your hard drive. If you choose to save it to your
hard drive, you can give the EXE file (the file that you run to start the Web Album) a
name,and select the directory to which the presentation will be saved. After it has
completed saving, you will be asked if you'd like to view the Web Album.
