Web photo gallery styles
To create more effective web galleries, use the Adobe Output Module in Adobe Bridge. For more information, see

Photoshop provides a variety of styles for your web photo gallery. If you are an advanced user who knows HTML, you
can create a new style or customize a style by editing a set of HTML template files.
The web photo gallery styles provided by Photoshop are stored in individual folders in the following locations:
Windows
Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/Web Photo Gallery.
Mac
OS
Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/Web Photo Gallery.
The name of each folder in this location appears as an option in the Styles menu in the Web Photo Gallery dialog box.
Each folder contains the following HTML template files, which Photoshop uses to generate the gallery:
Caption.htm
Determines the layout of the caption that appears below each thumbnail on the home page.
FrameSet.htm
Determines the layout of the frame set for displaying pages.
IndexPage.htm
Determines the layout of the home page.
SubPage.htm
Determines the layout of the gallery pages with full-size images.
Thumbnail.htm
Determines the layout of the thumbnails that appear on the home page.
Each template file contains HTML code and tokens. A token is a text string that is replaced by Photoshop when you
set its corresponding option in the Web Photo Gallery dialog box. For example, a template file may contain the
following TITLE element that uses a token as its enclosed text:
When Photoshop generates the gallery using this template file, it replaces the token %TITLE% with the text that you
entered for Site Name in the Web Photo Gallery dialog box.
To better understand an existing style, you can open and study its HTML template files using an HTML editor. Because
only standard ASCII characters are required to create HTML documents, you can open, edit, and create these
documents using a plain-text editor such as Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac
OS).
