Today's giveaway does its dirty job pretty well, namely generate photo thumbnails and then publish online web photo albums using built-in templates with style.
So it looks like a very good tool for people like me who know almost nothing about HTML language.

But 50 bucks?? Come on... the developer is not probably aware that there are plenty of FREEWARE ALTERNATIVES out there doing the same things and even more for FREE!!!

One of them is definitely a FREE tool called "JetPhoto Studio", which can import your photos from a digital camera and then automatically organize them in albums, calendars and maps by EXIF metadata, notes, keywords, time and geodata.
Once you have organized them with meaningful folders, this software is even able to create slideshows, wallpapers and screensavers, as well as create & publish flash and web galleries on the NET (Flickr) literally with a couple of mouse clicks.
The last version of this amazing FREE program enables users to import and manage not only their photos but also their VIDEOS, raw, panorama and stereo files captured with their digital camera!
This means that this software can also be used as a VIDEO CLIPS PLAYLIST ORGANIZER and even as a MOVIE EDITOR, since it's able to trim/merge any video clips of yours and reorder them in the playlist according to your needs.
Once you have produced your FINAL MOVIE, you may want to publish it on the NET where it can be played in both Flash-enabled web browsers and iPad/iPhone mobiles, as well as in Flash, Lightbox, CoverFlow and Google Map web galleries.
And guess what? You don't need any video encoding and page integrating knowledge to do that, since each task is automatically performed by the program itself with no questions asked.

In addition to it, this FREE cool app allows you to:

- adjust an image's brightness and color balance
- apply filters (black and white, sepia) and automatically correct exposure to any pics and video clips of yours
- send photos to mobile phones
- add watermarks, batch rename files, copy file names to photo notes and auto rotate your photos with EXIF information
- merge GPS metadata into JPEG or RAW files and geotag your photos by automatically organizing them by a built-in digital map, designed to show you any locations where your pics were taken, by directly linking your photos to Google Earth and Google Maps.

The installation and registration on Win64 was without any problems.
The software opened quickly and everything was very intuitive. I managed to create the photo gallery in 5 minutes (about 50 pictures).

You can choose among 20+ different galleries. I was rather surprised by the clumsy handles of the first one I chose but the second was exactly what I wanted.

I think I can recommend this piece of software to those who want to publish their photos on web with a style.

You can see my creation at http://www.aj3000.org/OtherLove_gallery/otherlove.html

and you can compare it with the same story created in iSpring convertor and Photostage.

Ran the setup but didn't let it finish, then ran the activate program and then I allowed the setup to finish, this way when the program is open it is registered.

For the last three weeks I've been tracking a building project and needed something that will make a decent presentation of it, and thankfully today's offering appeared.
As a quick test I pointed it at a folder that contained about 15 photographs, all taken with the same camera, it loaded all the files into the program window including a few non-image files which I had to remove.
I then moved onto the Galley of templates, these can be customised or you can create your own by the look of it.
It does appear to allow user the ability to customise many aspects of the program.
Then onto the generate which it did without a hitch producing a very pleasing and functioning web page.

I can thoroughly recommend this program as it is well thought out and well designed, plus it has a good video tutorial, enjoy.

For some reason I can not get my note in "share your ideas" above. So through the comments then.

The program is pretty straigthforward and easy to understand. It would be good if it would have been possible to select or filter on filetype in the image selection. I had to remove all the ARW versions before I got the page I wanted.

What is also nice is that you get access to the HTML and CSS code in the program so you can redesign the page for yourself.
