One of my favorite tool combinations is Gallery 2 and the Windows XP Publishing wizard. I use Gallery2 on most of the websites I maintain – as it works well and is priced right (free!). I realized a long time ago that a dynamic photo gallery was much more effective in managing large numbers of photos (some of my clients have a LOT of photos). I originally a different photo gallery – but it was the Windows XP publishing wizard for Gallery2 that I found most effective.
What’s nice about it is I simply browse to a folder and pick either the entire folder or some of the pictures and upload them to the Gallery. I can create a new album, resize and create thumbnails all in one step. I’m professionally lazy – so things to save time and energy impress me. I also like how it’s easy to integrate the look and feel with the existing site – as I’ve learned what items to manipulate. You can also choose different styles and layout options – without affecting the photos.
