I have a Macg4, 1.75G ram, OS 10.2, Explorer and Outlook Express.
I have created PhotoshopWeb Photo Gallery, in PS 7 and PSCS. I have saved the images, index, pages etc in folders.
My clients, on pcs and macs like mine cannot open the files. They arrive as Sit files. Even when I try to turn off compression in outlook exress, they still arrive as sit files. I tried DropZipping the folders, still no luck. If putting the Web Gallery files in Folders is the problem, what is the alternative when there are 50 images?

Buko, I do not yet have a website so maybe you are right about the Adobe web photo gallery being available for website usage only. As for unstuffing .sit files at the receiver end of an attached email, my pc people manintain they cannot handle a .sit file. thanks for your response, J.L.
Why don’t you just make an Acrobat Presentation which will be easier to email?
It is quick and easy to do from inside Photoshop’s File Browser. Just arrange your JPEGs in the order that you want to show them; choose Automate/PDF Presentation and choose your options
Then all that your recipients need to watch the Slide Show is Acrobat Reader.
Instruct them to go to the Window Menu and choose Full Screen View and click Page Down or the Right Arrow to see the next slide. Hitting "Escape" stops the show.
Ann, Your PDF presentation method transfers my files well, problem mostly solved.
I do want a thumbnail page so I did a contact sheet in PS and saved it for web as jpeg and included it with the other jpegs as page one of PDF Presentation. But it is not an interactive thumbnail page like adobe web photo gallery.
Also I seem to have to select each file separately in the browser, it won’t open a folder with multiple files. Is that your experience? thanks, JL
Just put the images that you want to include in a single folder; Open the folder containing the JPEGs in the Browser and drag your images into the order that you want them to display; Cmd. A to Select All; Then choose Automate/PDF Presentation. In the next dialog you will see all of your files listed (and you can also reposition or delete any of them there); Choose your Options and hit Save.
If you want your thumbnails to be interactive, you can use the Links tool in Acrobat Pro to make links from each area of your Thumbnail page directly to the full-sized image page.
Ann Your suggestion of the single folder, select all, automate presentation works fine.
I could not find Acrobat Pro but maybe it has another name? And maybe this is the same solution as yours: I had my images up, one at a time, in Reader; I hit the Escape key, went to the Window menu and hit Thumbnails and got a left hand window of all my images in the folder, and, they are interactive with the larger window on the right. Very useful help, thanks so much. JL
If the List of thumbnails which appear Adobe Reader’s Pages tab work for you, that is fine: but if you wanted to have your thumbnails displayed on your opening page (arranged as a page-spread), then you will need the Link tool which is part of Acrobat Pro.
Can a file done in Acrobat Pro be sent to and opened by someone else who has Reader but not Pro? Will they get the linked thumbnails displayed on the opening page? thks
