Caption in 'picture gallery' with montage layout?

How do I get a caption to display in 'picture gallery' with montage layout?

 

[Chris Leeds, MVP-FrontPage]

If I remember right the captions in "montage" are only visible on mouseover.

mjshore,

I found other ways of creating a photogallery.

Eleanor has some good advice in a previous post

So does Steve Easton. Here are some earlier postings, including some between
myself and Steve

You can find Irfanview at http://www.irfanview.com/ The option Thumbnails is
what is under discussion

The thumbnails that IrfanView created are 3 to 4 kb in size.
The actual images are 24 to 50 kb.

The advantage with IrfanView ( imho ) is that you can point it at a folder
full of images, open one
of the images, click resize / resample ( use resample it makes better
images ) set the size and
compression you want and then do a "batch" resize resample.
Tell it where to save the resized images ( use a different folder ) and in
about the time it takes
to read this it's done.

You can easily get a huge 1mb .bmp camera image down to a 600 by 800 .jpg
that only has a file size
of 50 to 60 kb without loosing any image quality.

You can also embed comments, copyright info, edit / remove EXIF information
etc "inside" your
images as part of the batch process.

Then point it at the new folder, do the thumbnail thing and then save as
html.

I'm sure there's a way to "pre-define" the look of the finished pages, I
just haven't dug into it
yet.

obtw, you can also play audio and video files in IrfanView. ( and much
more )

Steve, Eleanor et al

I like the gallery that IrfanView created. I recently downloaded it and
JAlbum - as you say, you can't beat the price.

I am keen on photography, now that I am retired and have acquired a
digital
camera - not ultra-high resolution but a great 10X zoom lens (Kodak 7490,
if
anyone's interested) and one of my future projects will be putting up some
albums on my website. So I want to find the best way to do this.

I have used FP photogallery, but after reading some of Eleanor's postings
on
this newsgroup and on her websites, I found it easier to create a folder
of
thumbnails and a corresponding folder of images, then display the first
with
links to the second. So a way of easily creating the thumbnails folder
would
be useful. It is good to know what size to make the thumbnails, too - is
about 20 to 50Kb seems O.K.?

I shall watch this thread with interest
