Just as we've mentioned before, make sure you take the
time to prepare your images prior to clicking on the Web
module. Select the ones you want to have as a web page, edit
them if necessary to ensure they are looking their best or any
unwanted aspects have been removed or obscured and if
they’re a part of a wider library, save them as a collection.3
If you look over at the right-hand side pane, this is where
you can find most of the common options to define the
style and presentation of the images for the web gallery you
are creating. There’s plenty in here to get to grips with; we run
through them in the coming steps. For now, just have a browse at
what’s available.2 When you have the images ready, click on the Web
module located in the top menu at the very end of the
available modules. The first list will display a series of tips, as
with the other modules we’ve looked at. Take a moment to
browse through the tips; if they’re not appearing, click Help >
Web Module Tips.4 The first option available to you is the Layout Style. This
is where you can specify the type of layout you want to
use, from a basic grid view to something a little more complex.
It all depends on which looks best with the images you’ve
selected, and what your end goal is. Below that is the Site Info
for you to fill in.The Web
