Tank Software has developed several cross platform (Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris and Windows) tools to assist you in organising your digital photos and galleries.

Catering for the onset of digital cameras en mass, Tank Software has developed a complete Gallery Management tool with them in mind. Digital cameras are often capable of taking high resolution photographs which are much larger than necessary to display on the internet, but it is better not to alter the original JPEG images as the quality is reduced on every operation such as resize or rotate and can be evident when a real print is made. Gallery Mage allows one to resize, rotate and crop their images, while still preserving the digital originals. These operations instead of being performed on the originals are stored as textual data, and performed on copies of the images when exporting (e.g. as low resolutions images destined for the web and email, or high resolution images destined for printing).

While Gallery Mage 2 is not explicitally coupled to any particular gallery displaying software, SPGM is the package that we use and recommend. SPGM is a PHP4 script which is very easy to install and use. Galleries consist of a directory of pictures, thumbnails and caption data - and that's exactly what Gallery Mage can create. In fact, Gallery Mage now has an "Easy Upload" feature to allow you to upload your gallery after exporting with a single click. Tank Software has also made some modifications to SPGM, to enable it to directly read Gallery Mage's gallery .ini format, complete with captions and EXIF data. These modifications can be downloaded here. |
