How to create a photo album in Dreamweaver

14

You want your digital photos online. Not just scattered in folders, but organized. Web photo albums do just that. Organize and edit your photos and share the entire content with friends and family. Of course, many online photo services offer this functionality out of the box. But sometimes you want to be in control. You want to build it yourself using a page builder.

Adobe Dreamweaver makes it incredibly easy. Just install the app. Fireworks 4 or newer helps, too. Here’s an easy way to create a web photo album using Dreamweaver.

Prepare the source image

First, gather your shots. Put them all in one folder. Keep it tidy. Dreamweaver needs to know what it’s working with. Make sure every image file has a standard extension. Look for:

  • .gif
    -.jpg
  • .jpeg
    -.png
    -.psd
    -.tif
  • .tiff

If the extension is missing or invalid, the tool may ignore it. Don’t take risks.

Launch the Album Tool

ドリームウィーバーを開きます。 ここで魔法が起こります。 上部のメニューバーに移動します。 [コマンド ] をクリックします。 ドロップダウンリストが表示されます。 それは設定の奥深くに隠されているわけではありません。 すぐそこです。

ウェブ アルバムの作成 を見つけます。 それをクリックしてください。 サムネイル ページの上部に灰色の四角形がポップアップ表示されます。 これがコントロールパネルです。

Specify album information

Now that’s customization.

In the Title box, type Title. Nothing is clear. “Summer trip 2023” work. You can add subtitles below the title line. If you need context, do this:

Next, find the text box Source Image Folder. Click the Browse button next to it. Go to your images folder. Select it.

You also need a place to print. Next to the Destination Folder text box, click Browse. This is where Dreamweaver saves the new files. If necessary, create a new folder here.

设置显示设置

专辑应该是什么样子?

找到缩略图大小 菜单。 选择尺寸。 不太大。 不算太小。 您想要快速的加载时间。

您希望文件名可见吗? 选中“显示文件名 ”框。 这会将文件名放置在每个缩略图下方。 有些人喜欢它。 其他人则认为它很混乱。 自己决定吧。

看表结构。 输入列数。 标准为三列。 四人很拥挤。 二是宽敞。 选择适合您布局的内容。

Select a format

Compression is important. File size is important.

Choose GIF or JPEG from the Thumbnail Format menu. In general, JPEG provides better compression for photos.

To see a larger image, go to the “Photo Format ” menu. Select GIF or JPEG again.

You can also set a Scale percentage for large images. If the original image is large, make it smaller. This prevents the page from getting corrupted.

Complement and generation

Last option. Do you want a separate page for each image? Enable Create navigation page for each photo. When you select this option, Dreamweaver creates a separate page for each image in the album. Add a page. Add texture. The load is increasing.

Are you ready? Click OK.

Dreamweaver processes images. Change the size. Generate HTML. that
