Albumatic is a product of Basepath Software.
Overview
Albumatic is the easiest way to put your digital photos into
an album that's published on a Web page. It's one of the very few free or shareware
programs that can scan in photos (or use existing ones), assemble them
into an album, create thumbnails that link to larger images, and transmit the whole thing
(using FTP) to your Web site. And, it's totally self-contained, even the FTP part.
Basically, here's how you work with Albumatic:
- You organize your photos into albums, as few or as many as you
want in each album. On the Web, an album corresponds to a single Web page and the photos
that it references. On your local computer (where you're running Albumatic), an album
corresponds to a directory.
- You add photos to an album. For each photo, you can enter a
caption, crop it, and rotate it around (in case you scanned it upside down).
- You can decide if the main album page should show just
thumbnails, small photos (of varying sizes), or the photo in its original size. If you
want, the photos on the main page can link to larger photos, and you can choose the size
for them, too.
- When you've got the album the way you like it, you click the
Publish To Web button and everything is sent automatically to your Web site. You (or
anyone who has permission) can then view the album with any ordinary Web browser.
- If you want, you can organize several albums into a library. Links can be
automatically placed in each album that take you to the other albums. And,
you can publish all the albums in a library with a single button click.
Well... in the interest of full disclosure, we do have to
admit that it's not always easy setting up the FTP connection, especially if your Web site
is new and you've never done it, but we've done our best here to give you clear instructions.
For First-Time Users
Chances are you've already played around with Albumatic, and
have even gotten an album to appear in the preview window. But, in case you haven't, we've
provided a Getting Started Guide.
