Album

Album is a tool to create HTML based photo albums. It allows you to manage your digital pictures on your computer.

A photo album consists of a series of (large) originals, thumbnails, and index pages. The large originals are the real originals that came from the camera. They will never be touched or modified.

Note that a photo album is not a Web gallery. There are other tools that are much more suited for that purpose.

Design aspects:

• Provide index pages with usable thumbnails.
  Many tools have thumbnails that are just too small to be really useful.
• Provide 'medium' pages, with images of a convenient and consistent size.
  Using a 1024x728 screen and the browser's full screen mode, each image can be viewed completely.
• Provide 'large' pages, with the original (large) images.
• Navigation buttons at fixed locations.
  No more looking around to see where the "next" button went...
• Navigation with keystrokes as well. No more looking for buttons at all.
• Allow updating and reordering of images.
• Provide titles and descriptions.
• Handle EXIF information, movies, pictures with sound.
• Albums can be nested.
• Albums can be burned on a CD or DVD for offline viewing.
