Editor's review
Just show it where your images are, press a button and in a few moments an elegant Web Gallery will open in your browser. With tiny size and no installation, you can try it and have your first gallery ready in a matter of seconds.
Pros: The application is now known as Lightbox JS Web gallery generator. The application is a complete wizard that needs pointers to the source of the pictures to be used and the destination folder for the finished photo gallery. Clicking on the create button makes a HTML web gallery in a few seconds. The program footprint is very small and thus you can be productive almost as soon as you have the program available to you. A few parameters need to be set. Gallery layout in terms of rows and columns, thumbnail sizes, photo sizes in pixels are the parameters available. One can set links to hi-res pictures too. You can integrate with an existing web site if you provide it with a template/master page, complete display control can be defined through a CSS page. Set up a slide show as easily if required.
Cons: While this provides a nice and quick way to create a photo gallery some it assumes the photos are all nicely finished. Some basic photo edit functions would have been very useful. In these times of volume photography via digital cameras quite often the photos you want to put up in galleries have minor blemishes and it’d be nice to be able to remove them before presenting them to the world.
Overall: This intuitive to use and simple application does the job very quickly and deserves a 4 star rating easily.
