SlideshowPro Director offers an inexpensive and elegant solution for image galleries on the Web. Since I started using it last year, I have seen its use proliferated in many different formats all over the Web, from artist portfolios to lodging virtual tours.
SSP Director has to be installed and used on a server, and it requires Flash. It is available as a component for Flash and gallery extension for Lightroom. [There is a standalone version that eliminates the need for owning Flash, described below.] If you have a Web site hosted on a server and know how to get access to it for uploading and installing Director (or as a first step, the free test software that determines if the full product will work on your server), or if your Web designer/Webmaster can guide you through the process, the installation is pretty straightforward.
Getting the Flash software is the hard part because it is so expensive. But once you’ve got the look you want, and upload the Flash files (a .swf and .html file), then you are good to go. That means you can get someone with the Flash software or your Web designer to create the flash “engine” for you.
You’ll need two SSP products:
