INSTRUCTIONS FOR BEST
PHOTO GALLERY VIEWING

I use the  JAlbum Web Photo Album
Generator for my photo galleries.

Press F11 on your keyboard NOW!  F11
will toggle most browsers to full screen view.  At full screen you are less likely to
have to scroll vertically to view an entire photo.  I try to standardize my photos to 720
pixels at the widest or tallest side.
Many of my galleries have photos of a different size, often slightly larger,
because I’ve just recently began to hold to this standard.  Anyway, you have more screen real-estate
if you use F11 to make your browser
full screen.  Try it, and then by
pressing F11 again will again put
your browser right back into normal mode.

Most of my
galleries have on screen controls but I find it easiest to use the left/right curser keys on the keyboard to navigate through the
photos.  Just
click on the first (or any) thumbnail to view a larger photo (720p?), and then
toggle through all the photos with the left or right keyboard curser key.
For those that like to navigate with a mouse, the on screen controls are arrows
inside small circles that usually appear to the right of the gallery title bar
in photo viewing mode. A segmented arrow starts a slideshow.  I usually chose 3 or 4 seconds per slide
and it takes several more seconds for the slideshow to begin.  Also, you will see a small checkerboard
in a small circle to the left of the gallery title bar in photo view mode and
clicking that will take you back to thumbnail view.  In thumbnail view the left side circle icon
becomes an up arrow and that will
take you back to my main page of galley links.  The gallery title bar is at the top of
the viewing window.

I’ve
been trying to standardize my galleries to 720 pixels on the long side for
optimal viewing on most monitors.
This translates to seeing most of the photo on screen with a monitor
resolution of 1024
X 768 if you are in full screen mode.  For many (but not all) of my photo
galleries you can click on the lower quarter of a photo and it will show you a
larger size photo.  On many of my photos
I put up a larger size on the web for this, usually 900 or 1024 pixel on the
long side, even though the gallery displays the smaller (720p) size first.

NOTE:
There are exceptions to all the above.
If you find something that doesn’t work, please email me about it.

You may download my pictures for your private viewing but I
ask that I am given proper credit as photographer anytime my photos are shown.
Any and all commercial use of my photos is strictly forbidden and governed by
US and International COPYRIGHT laws.
