jpegs, thumbnails, websites
 

ok, basically i have a load of jpegs that i want to stick on my website, they are all 800x600. what i want to do is have thumbnails on one page so that the user can click them and be showsn the full size picture (a la tgp sites etc ;)). is there any software etc that can automate taking say 50 jpegs and creating something similar to an index print you get with APS cameras etc? or do i have to manually resize and stick them in etc? i dont fancy doing lots of work, i just want it to be simple :(

If you use M$ Frontpage with Office you can right click on the specific image and choose "Auto Thumbnail."

Adobe Photoshop (or the much cheaper & still v good Photoshop Elements) will do what you want.

You just tell it you want to make a web gallery, give it the location of the source images, & the location of the destination folder. It will make the thumbnails for you, stick them on an index page(s) & link them to the actual images. Works v well. I used Elements to make my online photo gallery.

Have you considered still using the same images but in your thumbnail page specifying the size of the images to however small you want them, by using the 'width =' and 'height =' attributes of the img tag? Although, as your original pics are so large, it would probably make your page horrendously slow to load, so it's prolly not a very practical solution ;)

I use a thumbnail creation package called easy thumbnails (http://www.fookes.com/ezthumbs/?Easy%20Thumbnails=2600), I then use a "Standard" frontpage html page with a javascript that builds the page (out of the thumbnails) and then when you click a thumbnail it shows the main image in a new window. javascript handles the screen size etc and the layout. PM me if you would like a copy
