I'm sure I can sound like a broken record. I constantly blab on about how absolutely anything is possible in Photoshop, and how easy it can be. If I sound like one, it's only because I strongly believe it's true.
Case in point ... the photo gallery. These are nifty little web pages that you can email or upload to the Internet and then share your photographs, artwork, or anything else in picture-format with friends and family. Artists love galleries because they showcase the artist's work. Families
love galleries because they let far-away loved ones keep in touch.
Using Photoshop, you can create a full photo gallery without knowing a single bit of HTML (you'll never need it!) and without any real "work".
What will you need? Some graphics that you want to place in your gallery, and a copy of Photoshop CS or CS2 and this guide.
Ready to get cracking? It's going to be so easy you'll want to find new pictures to put in galleries!
The Flash Photo Gallery in Photoshop
One: First thing's first ... you need to set up a couple of folders just to make life easier on yourself. The first folder will contain the images you want to go in your gallery. Name it something that makes sense to you and copy the images into this folder.
The second folder will contain all the files that Photoshop creates to actually make your gallery run. Make sure that you put the word "gallery" in the name of the folder if you think you'll have problems remembering which folder is which.
Two: Here's where we give Photoshop the basic information it needs so it can take over and do all the hard work for us.
Click "File", hover on "Automate", and choose "Web Photo Gallery". This will pop up a new window.
With the Web Photo Gallery dialogue, you have a lot of options. What we're aiming for in this guide is to create a really cool flash web gallery. So, the first thing we need to do in the dialogue is click the drop-down box beside "Styles" and choose one of the Flash galleries. I'm using Gallery 2 because I love how striking images look against that dark background.

You don't need to be a webmaster in order to create the perfect Web Photo Gallery. You take the pictures, let Photoshop handle the rest!
