Specifying web gallery layouts
Choose a web gallery template
Lightroom has premade HTML and Flash web gallery templates that you can select in the Template Browser. You can
customize premade templates by specifying certain elements, such as colors, gallery layout, text, and an identity plate,
for your gallery. Customizing the premade templates doesn't modify them, but you can save your modifications in a
new, custom template. Custom templates are listed in the Template Browser of the Web module.
Note: Lightroom includes three Flash gallery layouts from Airtight Interactive: Airtight AutoViewer,
Airtight PostcardViewer, and Airtight SimpleViewer. Choose them in the Engine panel. The Airtight Interactive plug-in
provides custom options in Web module panels, which you can use to modify the Airtight layouts.
❖
In the Web module, click a template in the Template Browser.
The preset templates appear under the Lightroom Templates folder, but you can add new folders and custom
templates. Click the arrow next to a folder to expand or collapse it.
When you select a template, the Engine panel indicates whether the template is a Flash gallery or an HTML gallery.
