I've visited a few sites and see that a lot of photographers offer a slideshow of the pics, plus the gallery to choose prints from.

What do you use and why?

I am editing the pics I took at the wedding and need something quick!

michelle (elemental muse) installed this on my website...i changed the skin so it blends more nicely and it works great for me:
MG2 - a FREE and easy to use PHP image gallery script (Minigal v2) (http://www.minigal.dk/)

if you'd like to see how it looks in action you can go to the "clients" tab on my site and then click on "s jones"...pw is baby. i edit the photos with my watermark and proof number...then they email me what they want in what sizes.

(i'll remove this later.)

i would love something that flows more smoothly from my site but so far i've not found anything i like as well. i'm always working on different things on the side (like simpleviewer and porta) but never can quite get them the way i want (with pw protection.)

Thanks Tracey.

Now, are you using an action in PS to watermark your photos? Please share! I have an action to size and sharpen for web but can't figure out how to get it to add my watermark.

i just made it a brush (my watermark which is just a .jpg of my logo) and then i recorded me adding it to an image (from the action menu) and then adjusting the opacity so it is translucent...

then i run the action when i batch the photos.

i can go into more detail later (trying to figure out what to do with the boys for a birth today and am on hold for dh to answer...)

Ah, make it a brush! Brilliant!
