Creating Photo Albums in Webstyle

Click the Album icon on the menu bar to create a new album. A pop up will ask you to give the album a name. You are now ready to start creating your album.

There are two ways to add photos to the album. The first is to click the Import button on the menu bar – then navigate your way to the folder containing the images you wish to use.

By holding down the control key you can select multiple images to import.

You will now be presented with a dialog box to establish the settings for your album. These can be altered at any time during the creation process, so, for the moment accept the default settings and proceed with adding images to your album.

Webstyle will now load each image and create a thumbnail in the preview window.

The alternative method to import your photos is to simply drag and drop from a Windows folder.

Now you can begin to customize your album to allow visitors to identify the images easily.

So, click on the first photo and you will see a Properties Window that displays information about the image.

The first editable field shows the photo's title. Webstyle takes the first part of the filename by default, so if this is not a sensible name you can change it now to something more friendly.

Next, you can add a caption to your photo to give visitors a little more information.

Repeat this procedure for the rest of the images.

At this point it may be a good idea to sort the order of your pictures by using the up and down arrows on the menu bar. Or it may be easier to simply click on an image and drag and drop it in the position you would like it.

One of the most useful features of Webstyle is the ability to edit and enhance your images using Webstyle's own ultra fast photo editor. If an image is a little dark, simply doubleclick on it to open it in the Photo Editor.

Auto Enhance uses advanced algorithms to analyze your photograph and set it to display at optimum brightness, saturation and contrast. But you may have ideas for something a little more creative and you can experiment with the settings individually. Remember Webstyle photo editing is non destructive so it will preserve all the attributes of your original image.

If you are now happy with the way your images look and the order in which you will display them, click on the Album Settings button to check the photo and thumbnail sizes.

A default photo size is selected. If instead you would like the photos to display at their original size simply uncheck the Set photo size option, or otherwise check the size you would like the images displayed.

Next set the size for the thumbnails.

If you are now happy with the look and order of your images, click the Save button. This will automatically switch Webstyle into web page editing mode where you can select a template to host your album.

Here you can alter the number of rows and columns used to display your images and take advantage of all Webstyle's web page editing features.

When you are completely happy click Save and watch Webstyle take care of all the hard work.
