Customize the gallery by specifying options in the Site Info, Color Palette, and Appearance areas of the Output
panel. For example, provide a title, description, and contact information; choose a color for the background; and
specify text size.
Note:
You can specify titles, captions, and descriptions that appear on every page of a gallery in the Site Info options. You
can choose to display filenames, cell numbers, or all metadata for individual images in the Appearance options of some
templates. Otherwise, the templates do not display unique captions with individual images.

If you use a Lightroom Flash Gallery template, choose a theme from the Style menu. Then, customize it using the
Site Info, Color Palette, and Appearance options. The styles correspond to the Flash galleries that are available in
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom® software.

Preview your web photo gallery at any time in Adobe Bridge by clicking Refresh Preview. Click Preview In Browser
to preview the gallery in your default web browser.

(Optional) Change the images in the gallery by navigating to them in the Folders or Favorites panel, and then
selecting them in the Content panel. You can also use the Preview panel to preview the images and refine your
selection. Drag thumbnails in the Content panel to rearrange the order of the images in the gallery.
When you’re finished customizing your web photo gallery, use the FTP capabilities in the Output panel to
automatically upload your gallery to a web server. Or, save the gallery to your hard drive.
10
To upload your gallery via FTP, open the Create Gallery area of the Output panel and select Upload. Enter an FTP
Server address, User Name, Password, and Folder destination. Then click Upload.
Note:
The FTP Server and Folder boxes specify the location on the web server for placing the web gallery that you’re
uploading. When typing the server path, use slashes for designating directories. Check with your web hosting provider to
verify the path for accessing your public folder on the web server.
11
To save your gallery on your hard drive, select Save To Disk in the Create Gallery area of the Output. Specify the
location for the gallery, and then click Save.
When you save the gallery locally, Adobe Output Module places the following HTML and JPEG files in the destination
folder:
•
A home page for your gallery, named index.htm or index.html. Open this file in any web browser to preview your
gallery.
•
JPEG images inside an images subfolder.
•
HTML pages inside a content subfolder.
•
JPEG thumbnail images inside a thumb subfolder.

Create a PDF contact sheet or presentation with Adobe Output Module
Using the Adobe Output Module script, you can create Adobe PDF contact sheets and presentations in Adobe Bridge.
Contact sheets let you easily preview and catalog groups of images by displaying a series of thumbnails on a single,
printable page. PDF presentations let you use a variety of images to create a multipage document for slide show
presentation. You can set options for image quality in the PDF, specify security settings, and set the document to open
automatically in full-screen mode in Adobe Acrobat. You can also add the filename as a text overlay below each image
in the PDF.
