How to use the Gallery of Pictures
There are several areas on this website that "pictures" are being displayed. The TOP area of HOME Page and the Gallery. There are also Pictures included or Linked to in Articles, which is a different than a Gallery.
The TOP area is reserved for some interesting photos and may depending on what's being display use one of two different programs. Each works a little different and have unique features a view may exercise.
One will just auto scroll through some pictures. Very basic and simple. Enjoy the views.
The other displays what appears to be ONE picture. However, if there are multiple pictures, the view can scroll through them by clicking on either a "Right" or "Left" arrow at the views pace. OR the view may click on the "page" numbers at bottom to a specific picture or skip around. An additional feature is the ability to "click" on any of the pictures and a Pop-Up Window will appear, displaying the 1st page picture, and then begin an auto scroll of the "full" or "uncropped" pictures.
Another Major area is the "Gallery". The Gallery contains many different Categories, and each Category may have multiple sub-galleries, each containing any number of pictures. The "Gallery" may be found by "navigating" the main menu Library >> Gallery. This will display multiple Galleries. The name of the Gallery may give some clue as to what the Gallery contains. Clicking on the Gallery will display a listing of "thumbnails" . Click on the Thumbnail will open the picture in one of many formats depending on source picture file
There is not a Scrolling feature. If you double-click on a thumbnail, it will open a thumbnail sized picture. That is a limitation of this particular Gallery feature. In the upper right corner, you will find a "Slideshow" icon. Also a "Full Screen" icon which only displays the thumbnail page to full screen, it doesn't display the Picture in full screen. And then there is the "Share" icon for email & etc sharing methods.
However, you may download the "Source Picture" by clicking on the Thumbnail and you will find a "Download" icon. This will download the Full-Sized picture.
There are other Gallery packages that can be added to our website, These happen to be Freeware and work fairly well, not perfect, nor a complete set of features other Pay For Packages offer.
The Left Side Gallery(s) found on the "Home Page" along the left side. These are like a slideshow but manual. Click on one and it will display it's source pictures, either thumbnail, custom sized, or full size. It may be one picture or multiple. These Galleries are a subset of the two described above with almost the same display features. They are almost redundant Package feature as the TOP and Gallery. The most interesting are placed here by request or by the webmaster.
