Cerebrosoft Releases Multi-Platform Image Publishing Software
Cerebrosoft Press Release 15/07/04
Cerebrosoft has released B*Gallery v. 2.2, a Windows, Linux, and Macintosh OS X application that makes it easy to create HTML image galleries that can be updated, extended, and shared. Unlike most thumbnail programs that create simple, static clickable galleries, B*Gallery makes it simple to add, update, customize, and connect image pages into meaningful online catalogs, sales presentations, reference works, and home photo albums.
B*Gallery is easy enough for beginners to use. It’s simple to organize thousands of photographs from digital cameras. You can create web pages and share your images with friends and family, without having to learn to program the web.
After organizing photos into albums, and combining albums into categories, you can drag and drop images across your entire collection. You can add captions to photos, and descriptions to album pages. It’s simple to create multiple categories, and to move pictures among categories. B*Gallery can automatically generate HTML for selected photo albums or for the entire gallery. The built-in FTP program lets you upload your images and HTML to your web site.
B*Gallery comes with pre-configured themes that you can use to create galleries immediately. You can customize themes as much as you’d like, varying colors, fonts, and picture orientation. Advanced users have full access to the web pages’ underlying HTML, and can fully integrate B*Gallery’s pages into their web sites, matching their look and feel.
The program lets you rotate your photos 90 degrees, without the loss of quality that accompanies image rotation with many software packages. It also retains the original Exif file header information that often gets lost when images are changed. B*Gallery can even rotate an entire batch of digital camera images in a single operation. Renaming photographs is simple; you provide a short description, and the program adds date and time information.
Whether you’re a business person who needs to keep an online product catalog fresh, a digital camera owner who needs to stay on top of a rapidly growing collection of digital images, or a hobbyist who wants to take control of a collection of images downloaded from the Internet, B*Gallery has the tools that you need.
B*Gallery runs under Windows 98/Me/NT4/2000/XP, Macintosh OS X, and all popular versions of Linux. A single user license costs $19.95(US), and may be purchased securely online at http://www.b-gallery.biz/. You can download a free trial version of B*Gallery from the same web address.

I purchased this software a hour after I downloaded the trial! I have been searching for at least a couple of years for software that would allow me to easily create professional looking web galleries and then incorporate them into my FrontPage webs. I don't care for the included web gallery options in FrontPage. I have downloaded every trial available online, including some very expensive programs. Nothing else I have tried has been this easy to create my galleries and then include them in my FrontPage websites. This includes the Adobe Suite of products! I did not use the publish by ftp option as FrontPage is set up for http so I simply stored my galleries in folders in my FrontPage webs. Until now, I edited and prepared my photos one by one in PhotoShop and then stored them in FrontPage. Each time I wanted to add photos to existing galleries in FrontPage, I had to delete my existing albums and create new ones or the newly added photos would only show up as place holders on the web. With B-Gallery, all I do is open my existing galleries, drag and drop new photos to my heart's content, and publish them to my sites. What a time saver! What used to take hours now takes minutes. I completed my galleries on one of my sites and plan to redo several years of albums on another site as soon as possible.
