Has anyone created their own photo album using software? Which one do you use?
I've recently used Web Gallery Creator ( http://pranas.net/WebGalleryCreator/) and found it to be pretty simple and straightforward. It does the basic thumbnail resizing, page creation etc. without the fancy features of comments, flash etc.
I used it in my recent Caplio R1V review here...
Another cool one I found was SimpleViewer, which is a flash based album viewer.

Try out their demo - very flash indeed.

I used to use ACDSee to create rough HTML Albums then fine tune them.

I left my main galleries with Coppermine which will suit given a lot of events but still looking for something better for the portfolio side.

Yeah I find coppermine to be a bit heavy and clunky for just displaying images and portfolios. It's suited towards user galleries and comments and such, but takes some time if you want to put up a gallery with lots of photos.

Nah ST its easy with lots of photos, you can ftp a whole folder up and then go to "batch add" works a treat.

I bought NERO Photoshow Elite. It makes a beautiful slide show with music and transitions. It's supposed to burn Video CDs and Video slide shows on CD and make HTML photo albums. I can't get it to burn Video CDs. It makes a self-running exe file to show the slide show. This file is transferrable on CD--and that works. But I can't get the FTP to copy the files onto the internet.

I use JAlbum.
I find it a good balance between functionality and usability (ie has plenty of both), and you can't argue with the price (freeware).
I'm sure there are probably a few other apps have more features or can knock up an album more quickly, but this does everything I need it to and more, and is pretty easy to get into and then becomes very easy to use once you know your way around. Don't be put off by the fact it's freeware either, I've tried a number of commercial products and come back to JAlbum.

I bought NERO Photoshow Elite. It makes wonderfully animated online slideshows which are very easy to put together and upload--therefore easy to renew with each fresh batch of photos. Do you guys like time-controlled slide shows? I do.
