The Lightroom workflow
Creating web galleries: Basic workflow
The Web module lets you create web photo galleries, which are websites that feature thumbnail images that link to
larger versions of the photos. The panels on the left side of the Web module in Lightroom contain a list of templates
and a preview of their page layouts. The center pane is the image display area, which automatically updates as you make
changes, and also lets you navigate between the index and other pages in your web photo gallery. Panels on the right
have controls for specifying how the photos appear in the template layout, modifying the template, adding text to the
web page, previewing the web gallery in a browser, and specifying settings for uploading the gallery to a web server.

Lightroom can create two types of web galleries:
Lightroom HTML gallery
Produces a web page of thumbnail images that link to pages with larger versions of the
photos.
Lightroom Flash gallery
Produces a website with different views: a row of thumbnail images that display a larger
version of the photos, and a navigable slide show. View this gallery in a browser using Adobe Flash®
Player.
