Web Album Support

Photo Album Helper supports creation of dynamic web photo albums from a collection of photographs made with a digital camera. It can be used to

  • transfer images from a digital camera

  • organize, rename and backup image files during transfer

  • reduce JPEG images in quality and size

  • create thumbnail images

  • publish images via FTP

Dynamic album support

Photo Album Helper is aimed to users of dynamic photo albums such as the Light Development Photo Gallery.

For dynamic photo albums a production process is required where images are transferred, processed and published in a few simple steps comparable to the process with static albums with the only difference that the process does not require production and upload of static HTML pages.

Transfer with a mouse click

In a first step images are transferred from camera storage. Photo Album Helper supports this process in the way that it allows to maintain an incoming directory and a storage directory. It can be set to rename and backup image files during transfer and to create subdirectories in the incoming area to automatically organize storage structure.

Reduce images lossless

To view a digital image on the screen does require significantly less resolution than provided by a digital camera or scanner. Images from digital cameras can be reduced in quality and size without loss of display quality conserving bandwidth and storage requirements of web photo albums at the same time.

Publish albums instantly

Images are published online automatically. Photo Album Helper implements an FTP publishing process where processed image files are transferred to your preferred storage. A generic file transfer interface can be used or extended to own custom needs.

See examples

All images in the Light Development photo gallery have been processed with Photo Album Helper. To add a new album to the gallery from a series of snapshots became effortless with Photo Album Helper.
