Creating A Web Presence For Photographers

Photoshop (Intermediate – Advanced): Using Photoshop (and some free applications) to create web galleries with Chuck Behrman

In this tutorial CD, Chuck Behrman will teach you, through live, real-time demonstrations, many techniques for using Photoshop for the creation of web galleries and either web programs or supplied templates for simple web sites.

Since Photoshop itself cannot create a complete web site, we will take a look at some other applications as well as some simple templates that can get you started.

The Photoshop web gallery generator simply creates a gallery but does not provide any way to link that gallery to your existing web page. I've created an easily customizable way to do just that -- and you don't have to use any other software (except a text editor) to accomplish the modifications. I'll even provide you with a template to start with.

I also found some free, cross platform software for generating web galleries that I'll be making you aware of. 

If you don't have a web page now, we'll address how to create one (I've got a simple template for that too). We'll cover Internet Service Providers (ISP) such as DSL or Cable and getting your own URL and independent web host (like yourname.com).

We'll also discuss how to create the items you might want to put on a page using Photoshop as much as we can - images, logos, text, email links, etc., as well as how to use metadata and internal text to raise your visibility to the search engines.
