The picture <\/em>gallery, that is.<\/p>\n

I detailed last month<\/a> my irk at Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 and the way it dropped straightforward HTML online galleries for fancy-shmancy Flash-based galleries (about which I’ve seen not a single encouraging word on the Adobe forums, and much lamentation similar to mine).<\/p>\n

Two further developments.<\/p>\n

First, Adobe has released PSE 6.0.  Early reviews indicate (a) lots of bugs, (b) some performance improvements, (c) a lot of unhappiness with the interface, (d) not much meat to justify the upgrade.  Oh, and, as far as I can tell, the same Flash issue.  So I’m not going to be upgrading any time soon.<\/p>\n

Second, I’ve dropped back and punted slightly.  Following some advice I read, I’ve re-downloaded JAlbum<\/a> — a very nice, very free web album\/gallery generating tool.  I actually used this for a while a couple of years ago<\/a>, but then gave it up in favor of PSE (largely because PSE does a good job of managing the photo portfolio).  So now I’m using PSE 5.0 to manage, edit, and export the photos, and JAlbum to collect them together for our web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All of which is a Good Thing, because it means I can finally get back to the job of cataloging and posting photos for the amusement of family and friends.<\/p>\n

Using two tools for this purpose is a bit clumsy (especially if I have to add to or otherwise revise a gallery), but the results are a lot more to my liking, so I’m willing to take the slight extra effort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
