gallery navigating

[kerriann85]

Is there a way to get to a specific person's gallery?
Jan said she's post a tornado pix, so how do I get just to Jan's gallery?
or
Are there going to be names in the "browse all galleries" place? Now you have to click on a pix to see who it belongs to.

Thanks!

Kerri,

I haven't found a way either ... clicking on an image to see who it belongs it is OK for the moment but not sure how it will work when there are lots :)

I haven't tried it yet but isn't there a way to add your name when you are uploading the images ?

What if we each created a titlepage, with our name in large block letters, and posted that as our "Main" page. I tried it using some fancier font, and the thumbnail was too fuzzy, but maybe with large block letters . . . Maybe I'll give it a try.

Well, I didn't spend any time making this beautiful . . . but I did post my "Main" page on the gallery with nothing but my name in bold font. I suppose it would be a way to do it if it can't be done some other way. Take a look and see . . .

Linda, that works pretty well! I'll have to try that.

[Wendy]

I suppose that another way would be to put your name under the main image.

I noticed on the NAPP site that you can search for individual members galleries - but even their main images don't have names underneath.

Perhaps the search facility would be a good idea..?

Then perhaps the best way forward is Linda's one

Wendy,

I don't know... I tend to browse the NAPP gallery based on the images (e.g. I'm more likely to look at landscapes and scenes rather than flowers) not who took them, but the search facility means that if you want to find someone in particular then you can.

Hi Kerriann,
Unfortunately, at this time, there's no way to locate a specific person's gallery. I'm working on what we can do about that. But we wanted to go ahead and get the gallery up and running. Hopefully, we'll be able now to add features and make adjustments as we grow.

Meanwhile, here's a link to that image I was talking about. I think it's called a wall cloud. But someone correct me, please, if that's wrong. I was driving one day and noticed the storm approaching, so I jumped out and snapped this picture. It's the most unusual cloud formation I've ever seen, and the photo really doesn't do it justice... ya had to be there! :lol:

Thanks Jan, I know you have lots to deal with just getting this going.
I like the idea of people usuing their name as their first image. We'll see if we can get it to catch on. :)

As a matter of fact I was looking at you cloud as the new message jingled into my email! Cool!

[lindajay]

Well, I feel a little conspicuous being the only one with my big, bold name hanging out there as my main page. :oops: So I just removed it and went back to a scenery shot as main page. If the idea happens to catch on, I'll join in.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

Linda ...

Its just the rest of us that are slow :) ... I am going to do it just as soon as I get round to it.


Wendy

Ok Linda, (and Wendy) and all,
I've got my name as my main page on the gallery.
And I think, since this is a photoshop forum after all, that everyone should photoshop a "name plate" for their gallery!!

It's almost too small for the thumbnail but it might be ok. What do ya thinK? Should I redo it?
Maybe if I make the "works by" in a simpler bolder font?
Or take the chrome off my name?

Suggestions welcome.

And Linda, you can put your name back now. :D

[Wendy]

Kerri,

That looks fine ... its readable in the thumbnail.

I have done mine but am totally unable to create an account at the moment :(

I'm glad that I wasn't the only one having problems. I was really beginning to wonder. It took me 4 or 5 trys to get recognized and then upload without the site jumping to error messages. This has happened on several occasions. Hopefully it will be debugged soon.

[Wendy]

hi Rich,

I had some problems but now it seems to be sorted and I uploaded mine OK


Wendy

[Wendy]

Linda ..

I now have my name on the main image ... I took Kerri's advice and made a "name plate". Thanks Kerri :)


Wendy

[lindajay]

Those look nice! I guess I'll re-work mine and put it back out there, too. I like the idea of incorporating it onto a photo, like you did, Kerri. Maybe this evening . . .
