How to Create a Digital camera Photo Gallery

Nowadays it seems it is very usual for many of us to public personal photos on sites under the form of a gallery, this is way I consider a digital camera photo gallery tutorial to be very useful to the beginners who wish to make a gallery and public it on the internet.

I will refer to the following program: IrfanView, because it is free, it is easy to use and quite practical even if doesn’t have many fancy options. It will help you set up your digital camera photo gallery in no time.

The first step towards a digital camera photo gallery is to prepare your photos for the web and this means scanning and uploading your pictures from your camera on the PC. Choose those that best suit your purpose and optimize them. The list could go on.

One step closer to your digital camera photo gallery is when you take all your photos and put them in a separate directory on your computer’s hard disk. It is the moment to start the IrfanView program. Press the keyboard key “T” from thumbnail and after this access go to Options  Set Thumbnail Option.

Here you will see the Thumbnail quality option; you must select the Use Resample box. You’re far on your way to creating the digital camera photo gallery, so go to Thumbnail size and choose here some desired configuration.

You can use de default configuration generated by the program which is 80×80 or 100×100. Both of types work just fine. After this press the OK button and you will leave the option panel. Move to the next level of creating your digital camera photo gallery.

Look at the left side of your screen and navigate through your directories until you find the folder which contains the photos. After selecting it wait for a few seconds for IrfanView to refresh the screen. Now arrange the thumbnail window as you think is best for you. One more thing and you’ll have your digital camera photo gallery.

Click on the option button  select all and after that Save As “name”.html and “voila” you have a nice internet page which contains your digital camera photo gallery and is all ready for uploading. Enjoy it!

After successfully creating a digital camera photo gallery you must find a web hosting provider that will host your page. You may either choose the free domain or the paid registered domain.

For online digital camera photo galleries I suggest that you buy the domain because it is safer, you don’t have problems with their servers and you won’t get your site erased for some unknown reasons.

The paid option offers you stability and reliability, you can upload your pictures easily and now all you friends, colleagues and family can see you last photos, all thanks to digital camera photo galleries.
