    I thought i'd pass this on. I found a free Flash browser that's pretty easy to use, much easier than a custom PS gallery and it's Flash so it's cooler...also has some copy protect advantages over the PS gallery. Anyways I do not work for these guys, but I am changing over my website to use their gallery so I endorse them so far. I've been working with this for about a week.

    You can see what I did with the gallerys on my site, most of them are changed over. For comparison's sake the old custom PS galleries still remain in the older MTB galleries so check them out to see the difference. They just seem a lot more slick in comparison.

    Always worth looking at something new. Not a very big zip file is it.

    Although this doesn't look like it is for novices to use though and you need to know what you can use on the server hosting your website, eg, php, asp, etc as you need to address that when creating. According to the instructions.

    The complicated stuff (php, asp, etc...) is just for the thumb autogenerator, which is enirely optional and something I haven't even looked at yet. I just make my images and thumbs (save for web in PS of course) drop them in the right files, enter the file names and caption into the XML document and it works. Next I want to figure out how to make the images bigger, they get displayed ~25% smaller than actual and I'd like to see them at actual size. I'm not sure how to do that yet since the size settings on the page are already set larger than the image itself is... if anyone knows i'd be a happy camper if you told me. :)
