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)

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!
