I’m pleased to report that designer/developer Todd Dominey has connected his excellent SlideShowPro Web gallery technology to Photoshop. SlideShowPro is a highly customizable Flash component that works with Flash MX 2004 and above, enabling Flash authors to create slick SWF galleries that support goodness like full-screen mode (click the button in the lower-right corner of the gallery on the home page) and streaming audio (example).
Now it’s possible to use Photoshop to batch-resize images & generate the XML file needed to power a gallery. Scripts for Photoshop CS2 & CS3 are downloadable from the site by anyone who purchases SlideShowPro ($29.95).
There’s several free ones like this over at kirupa.com. And they’re actually customizable.
I was searching for a spyware
association with Adobe which seems to popping up recently.
It is my opinion, Adobe is installing software which goes
beyond the functionality
needed to support it’s
programs. Spyware is a broadly used term, but to most
users, anything they don’t specifically ask to install,
and uses the internet to
perform any service is spyware.
I don’t trust Adobe to do
the right thing.
And certainly don’t trust
Adobe partners to be any more
honest.
