It is common knowledge that the Photo Gallery component that is built into
FP 2002 just doesn't work very well! There are no changes for this problem
for FP 2003 even though there are so many questions asked about it in the
FrontPage forum. My first tutorial about this subject was this page. Now
let's look at some other possibilities.

Galleries made with JAlbum, Arles Image Web Page Creator, Photoshop and
Photoshop Elements, PhotoImpact, Photo Explorer and ThumbsPlus.
Explanations and links to examples and programs.

Are there others I should add? Can you show me examples?

Eleanor, I love the Alternatives page and your tutorials and advice
here in the group have helped me many times. So I thought I would
suggest one alternative I have been using. It's called "PhotoThumb"
and can be found here. http://photothumb.com/pt/index.shtml

It's not free but for me is a real time saver with all the photo work
I do during the season. Here is an example on my site.

I use the Black Theme, but there are several others to choose from. I
tried several alternatives and settled on this one for my needs.
Thought I would suggest it and thanks again for all tutorials on your
site.
