Publisher's description of JAlbum
From JAlbum AB:
JAlbum allows you to create nice-looking photo galleries for the Web. You simply select or drag and drop folders containing images or movie files onto JAlbum, and it creates thumbnails and HTML pages to publish your images as a gallery or as a picture slide show. The galleries are based on various templates, and their appearance can be further customized by advanced users. The application's additional features include support for IPTC/EXIF data, style sheets, lossless image manipulation, plugable image filters, a built-in FTP/SFTP client and a built-in web server that allows anyone to share Web albums straight from their own computers.
Version 8.0.9 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
Editor's review of JAlbum
5.0 stars
- "A quick utility for organizing pictures"
JAlbum is a long-time favorite free Web album generator. There's no wizard to direct you through the process, but a quick look through the menus will be enough to get you started creating image collections online.
To begin, specify the original image folder, set the album-destination folder, select the images, and generate the album--it's really not more complicated than that. Using the integrated FTP client, you can upload your album to your Web site or you can use the integrated Web server to serve your album from your computer. The JAlbum site also lets you post your projects to their Web hosting service for free, as long as you don't mind registering your name and e-mail address. There are several great-looking templates and skins to choose from, with more skins available online from JAlbum.
Recent versions include a lot of new tools, most notably a photo editor for basic manipulations, such as red-eye removal and cropping. If you've been looking for a new way to post your photos, JAlbum is a great choice with an extremely easy-to-use interface and plenty of options to create the perfect album.

Version: JAlbum 8.0.9
Pros: I would say this is to computer users what the SLR has been to amateur photographers - it opens up the world of creating professional and interesting albums. Easy to create a basic album but some of the skins require a lot of settings - however for me this is a plus as it puts you in control of almost evertyhing
The built in FTP allowing you to upload your albums direct from the programme to your own or their limited free hosting is especially good. I paid a small amount for hosting but it isnt really necessary unless you are paranoid about having all your albums in one location.
Cons: not so much dont like as improvements possible
strong links to social networking sites and photostreams like flickr (from the hosting) would be good - there are skins that let you do this but they are not the "click here to upload to facebook" type tools and need a bit of understanding.
More web space for less money would be good but I guess they have to make their money somewhere

Version: JAlbum 8.0.9
"Saves so much time! Awesome!"
Pros: Easy to make photo albums for webpages or whatever. Easy to embed into webpages. Has multiple templates with a link to where you can download even more.
Cons: It was hard to figure out where it was putting the files at first. It makes multiple folders (thumbs, slides, album...). I messed up at one point and I ended up having about 4 copies of my photos.
Summary: So worth the cons. If you have the sense to figure out where the slides (photos) go in the first place, then you shouldn't have a problem. This program saves me hours of resizing, and linking all of my photos.
