About Web photo gallery styles


    The Web photo gallery styles provided by Photoshop are stored in individual folders in the following location:

    Windows

    Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop 7.0/Presets/WebContactSheet

    Mac OS

    Adobe Photoshop 7.0/Presets/WebContactSheet

    The name of each folder in this location appears as an option in the Styles pop-up menu in the Web Photo Gallery dialog box. Each folder contains the following HTML template files, which Photoshop uses to generate the gallery:

    Caption.htm

    Determines the layout of the caption that appears below each thumbnail on the home page.

    FrameSet.htm

    Determines the layout of the frame set for displaying pages.

    IndexPage.htm

    Determines the layout of the home page.

    SubPage.htm

    Determines the layout of the gallery pages with full-size images.

    Thumbnail.htm

    Determines the layout of the thumbnails that appear on the home page.

    Each template file contains HTML code and tokens. A token is a text string that is replaced by Photoshop when you set its corresponding option in the Web Photo Gallery dialog box. For example, a template file may contain the following TITLE element that uses a token as its enclosed text:

    <TITLE>%TITLE%</TITLE>

    When Photoshop generates the gallery using this template file, it replaces the token %TITLE% with the text that you entered for Site Name in the Web Photo Gallery dialog box.

    To better understand an existing style, you can open and study its HTML template files using an HTML editor. Because only standard ASCII characters are required to create HTML documents, you can open, edit, and create these documents using a plain-text editor such as Notepad (Windows) or SimpleText (Mac OS).
