Hi,
Looking for help...
If I design a number of pages with VSD and I want one of those pages to be a photo gallery created by Adobe Photoshop CS3 (Photoshop has an automatic feature called Web Photo Gallery). Is this doable somehow?
FYI, I have basically no experience with html.
Thanks.

Photoshop Web Photo Gallery with VSD?

I'm a beginner, but here's what I do:
I use Coffeecup VSD as my "Front End" to my photo galleries. I have perhaps 40 galleries going at a time. I use the VSD to create several "Brochure-type" pages that refer to "Home", "Current Events" or "Recent Events" and then "Client Galleries". On each page, I create descriptive links to folders that I reuse--"event5" or "gallery3". Coffee Cup VSD is easy to update, and change pricing, content, etc.
All of my folders and all of my web pages (index), blogs, etc are in my main www folder on my web page. (I could change this, but it's sort of easier for the time being--I can see how this can get out of hand with really large web pages). I use Adobe Elements (since I sort all of my photos in Adobe Elements) to create a web gallery. I then put the web gallery files into the "event5" or "gallery3" folder under my www folder on my web space. I then test all links. If you wanted to have your Adobe page appear like any other page, you could edit the html link on a navigation button. I use lists of links which is not as elegant but also works. The links refer to the folders--such as http://www.yourweb.net/event1.
This isn't the same as imbedding the Adobe files into your VSD page itself. Never tried that, but I might when I have some time to attempt it.
My feeling is that my work flow has 3 separate tracks--a web gallery creation in Adobe Elements following an event, a Coffee Cup VSD update with fine tuning the link to the appropriate folder, and then, a whole segement of uploading the files in my web space with my FTP tool. Lastly, I typically call my hosting company and order more web space, but I'll leave that one alone...
Good luck and I hope my experience is useful-Todd
