Palette and Appearance of the web gallery. You can

The Preview pane displays a version of your current web
design and it will help you decide how the web gallery
will look as you hover over each of the templates on offer. The
default preview image displays the basic layout and not the
additional enhancements you’ve made or added titles and
other text.7 The last few sections provide image information such
as a title and captions, the quality of the image as it will
be viewed in a browser along with any metadata included.
The remaining section allows you to enter details for the
web server that the gallery will be uploaded to, including any
subfolders for the images.

Finally, in order to be able to test the web gallery in a
browser, click the Preview in Browser button at the bottom
of the Template pane. Lightroom will prepare the gallery and
open it in the system’s default browser. If you want to display
the gallery in another browser, you need to change the system
default to another manufacturer's browser.8
On the left hand side of the Lightroom interface you
will be able to see a number of options in the form of
available templates. The Template Browser contains a wealth
of predefined templates that can be quickly applied to an
existing web gallery.http://www.bdmpublications.com 121THE WEB MODULE
