Template Updates

Here are some features I would like:
1. More templates with a Paypal option
2. More templates that switch between thumbs/gallery mode to a slideshow mode!
3. More control over the look of watermarks
4. Flawless previews for all the templates (it is hard to keep track of which one is which when you’re chosing one)

Here are some templates I’d like to see:
1. Strips of negatives (actually postives) lying around that you can zoom in on and navigate through, as if you were looking at a light table.
2. A template similar to the polaroid one, but with polaroid frames that fit each picture (horizontal and vertical) - and with more options
3. Pile of pictures with slight drop shadows behind them. Like the polaroid template mixed with the postcard template. Randomly in a pile (overlapping at points) that you can move around and zoom in on.
4. A template that looks like you’re looking through one of those view finders from the 80’s (here’s a picture of a blue one, but they were usually red: http://www.inthe80s.com/toys/images/user-image-1177831721_thumb.jpg)

Thats all I got so far

First of all: your work is really amazing!!
My personal wishlist would include only two things:
1. watermarks which can be transparently extended over a larger part of the image, so clients will be able to see the images rather clearly, but making a screenshot becomes less attractive for them.
2. possibility to include up to three external linksbesides every image preview. The user definable URL should consist of a text string which can include variables like the image’s filename. This could be used t0 allow the client to downbload highres-files, or to transfer images to an external labs shopping cart. Right now I do this with HTML-templates in iView Media Pro - but your flash templates for Lightroom are so much nicer!

But I guess this is not possible yet…

>> 3. More control over the look of watermarks

Thanks for the feedback and idea guys! As far as watermark stuff, we dont really have any control over that. Basically you get what lightroom gives you. I though there was a way to select an image to be the watermark? I don’t really know though, i have only played with the watermark stuff once or twice. Like i said though, watermark stuff is up to Adobe. I’ll mention to Andy at adobe that people want more watermark options.

Hey - I forgot to say thanks for all the work you’ve done - this site is incredible. Also, I thought of another feature: Comments in the flash galleries - or an optional guestbook for comments. They’re fairly simple using a little php script in the flash side of things - but I’m sure its no easy task to include this in a lightroom gallery…

Great site and LR galleries. As for ideas, how about turning pages, like this site. “http://www.magasinetanno.no/”
This would be very cool in a Lightroom gallery.

The flash templates are really nice, but it would be great to see more html templates.

Something like P7s would be a good starting point. http://projectseven.com/products/galleries/ssm/ssm_03.htm

I really love all the good work you do on making these great galleries that are so easy to use in LR!

In my work I present my pictures to my clients in (somewhat modified) html versions of the webgalleries but what I really miss is the possibility to show the filenames in the indexes! A lot of the clients really ask for that (before I used the iView webgalleries that always showed filenames in the indexpages)

Thanks!

Hi, Would it be possible to add a link in the base lightroom flash gallery to the original file? This would permit someone to download the original file.
