FotoFusion includes an integrated FTP client and allows you to publish your collage directly to a web site as an online photo gallery.
If you wish to publish the files without ftp-ing them to your server directly, click on PUBLISH TO LOCAL FILE tab, which will render your files locally.
To Publish directly to your website
First, you need to have:
| • | The name of a server to which you will publish; |
| • | A login ID and password. |
Go to the Publish tab:
Enter your login information for the web site, and choose a folder and name to store the remote file under.
Once you have published a collage to the web, it will appear in the list of Published Web Collages, allowing you to quickly review work you have already done.
The important decision of whether or not to include original images should be made at this time.
In addition to the file name, published original images will contain the FotoFusion frame number for easy reference purposes.
You can choose to publish now, or choose additional options on the Image Quality and Watermark tabs.
These options are identical between the Publish (to Web) and the Email areas and so we will cross-reference these two actions:
When your options have been configured you can Preview or Send the results to your server.
If you already have an existing online web gallery, you can easily produce a collage from it.
Reasons for doing this include:
| 1. | Sending emails to customers or friends with a collage of the contents of your web gallery, inviting them to come to your gallery to browse. |
| 2. | Producing collages and exporting them to HTML to integrate with your gallery as a more interesting 'table of contents.' |
| 3. | Printing out a collage of your recent work. |
To bring an image from a web page into FotoFusion, simply drag it from your web browser into FotoFusion. Done!
Multi-page Publishing
Extreme users can publish multiple pages simultaneously.
When a multi-page project is open, the Publisher window will include add two options:
If this is option is selected, a thumbnail preview of your work will be included in the generate files.
can be selected to publish the entire project. If you only want to publish one page at a time, switch this to "Selected Page."
