How to use?

Part 1 - Adding folders with images or images to website album.

From the Images menu, select Add images... Browse to the location of the folder you'd like to add and select the images. VisualLightBox will now include that folder. Or you can drag the images (folder) to the VisualLightBox window. The image is copied to your pictures folder and automatically added to your website gallery.

If you have included the images that you do not wish to be in the website photo album, you can easily remove them. Select all images that you wish to remove from web site album, and select Delete images.. from the Images menu. You can pick and choose pictures by holding the CTRL while clicking the pictures you like.

You can also use your Vista Photo Gallery projects (.vgal) in VisualLightBox.

Part 2 - Adding caption.

When you select an image you'll see the various information about it, such as:

• Caption - you can enter any comment or text about the image (up to 512 symbols) in the website photo gallery.
• File Info - for each image, you will see the file name, full folder path; file size and date of last change.

3 - Editing capabilities.

In this website gallery software you can easily rotate your pictures using "Rotate Left" and "Rotate Right"

4 - Gallery properties.

Change the name of your website album, the size and quality of your pictures with Website Photo Gallery. From the Gallery menu, select Properties or use "Edit Gallery Properties" button on the toolbar, establish the various sizes for exported images.

5 - Publishing of the VisualLightBox.

When you are ready to publish your website photo album online or to local drive for testing you should go to "Gallery/Publish Gallery". Select the publishing method: publish to folder or publish to FTP server.

• lish to folder. To select a local location on your hard drive, just click the Browse folders button and choose a location. Then click Ok. You can also set "Open web page after publishing" option.
• publish to FTP server. The FTP Location Manager window enables you to define a number of connections for use when uploading your web site album to an FTP.

You are able to add a new FTP site by clicking "Edit" to the right of the "Publish to FTP server" drop down list. FTP Location Manager window will appear. Now type in a meaningful (this is not the actual hostname) name for your site and fill in the FTP details in the appropriate fields. You will have to type in your hostname, e.g. domain. The FTP port is normally located on port 21 thus this has been prefilled for you already. If your web site uses another port, you will have to enter it here.

Type in your username and password for the connection. If you do not fill in this information, VisualLightBox is unable to connect to your site and thus not able to upload your gallery to website. If this site enables anonymous connections, just type in anonymous as the username and your e-mail address as the password.

6 - Save your photo gallery as project file.

When you exit VisualLightBox, you'll be asked if you want to save your project. The project consists of the pictures you choose to put on your website photo gallery and all your settings. It's a good idea to save the project, because that will allow you to change the project in case you decide to do something different with future galleries. So click Yes, then enter a name for your project. To select the location of your project, just click the Browse folders button and choose a different location. Then click Save.
