Photologist User's Guide

Web Albums

Creating a web album:
To set web album options open the Preferences window (choose Preferences from the Photologist menu) and click the Web tab.

Choose "scaled picture size" or "actual picture size". Choosing scaled picture size means that when a thumbnail in your web page is clicked the larger pictures that is displayed will have the current dimensions of the resizable Viewer window. If "actual picture size" is chosen pictures will be displayed at their original size when a thumbnail is clicked.

To choose a background color other than white click the web page background color box. Select a color and click OK

To choose a text color other than black click the web page text color box. Select a color and click OK.

Click OK to dismiss the Preferences window

Choose Create Web Photo Album from the Edit menu. (NOTE: If you have chosen "scaled picture size" in the Preferences, this menu item will be grayed out unless the Resizable Viewer window is open). You will be asked to enter a name for the album. This will be the title that appears at the top of the web page. When you click OK a progress bar appears showing the progress of the web page creation process. When the process is completed there will be a folder on your desktop called "WebAlbum". It will contain the newly generated web page. The web page is called "album.html". Also in the folder is a folder called "Thumbnails" containing the thumbnail files for the web page along with a folder called "Images" that contains the larger picture images that appear in a web browser when a thumbnail on the web page is clicked.

A Folder called "WebAlbum" will be created on your desktop. It will contain the following:
- a folder called "Images"
- a folder called "Thumbnails"
- a file called "album.html"
If you are a .Mac subscriber you can make your Web Photo Album available on the internet by putting the WebAlbum folder in your iDisk's "Sites" folder. This creates a webpage with the web address:

http://homepage.mac.com/yourLoginName/WebAlbum/album.html
(replace yourLoginName with your .Mac login name).

If you are not a .Mac subscriber you will need to upload the WebAlbum folder to another internet server. The company that provides your internet access probably offers a limited amount of free server storage space. Contact your internet service provider for details about how to upload your WebAlbum folder to their server.

NOTE: You can change the name of the WebAlbum folder if you wish. Just be sure to replace "WebAlbum" in your Web Photo Album web address with the new folder name.
