About the photo gallery

A photo gallery is a web page that contains a collection of graphics arranged in a specific layout.

You can create your own web site "photo album" by first creating two or more galleries, and then adding a link bar that connects them all.

Adding and removing photos

When you create a gallery, you can add as many graphics that you want, and you can add or remove a graphic at any time.

You can add graphics from a variety of sources:

• A file on your computer or local web site you have created
• The World Wide Web
• The Microsoft Clip Organizer (also known as clip art)
• A scanner
• A digital camera

Editing a specific photo

FrontPage offers several ways to edit your graphics once you have chosen them for your photo gallery:

• Size   You can change the width or height of the graphic. You can also choose to maintain the aspect ratio, or not, depending upon how you want to change the graphic.

• Orientation   You can flip or rotate the graphic:

  Rotated right 90 degrees	Rotated left 90 degrees

  Flipped vertically	Flipped horizontally

   

• Crop   You can crop the graphic. For example, if you want only part of a graphic visible, crop out the rest.

• Reset    If you have made changes to the graphic, you can click the Reset button to return the graphic to its original state.

Captions and descriptions

Below each graphic in a gallery there is space for a caption and description. You can select the font style, color, and size of the caption. You can change the caption and description at the time you create the gallery, and you can also change or remove it later.

Thumbnails

When you create a photo gallery using a layout, a thumbnail of each graphic is automatically created. You also have the opportunity to set or change the size of the thumbnail at any time.
