Hello,

I am just trying to build some galeries to submit to TGP's. Is there any good software to use?

Thanks for any hint :-)

I prefer Dreamweaver for building gallery templates, and I use Arles by Digital Dutch for "batch cropping" thumbs. I still go back and manually recrop and retouch as needed, and I always make any thumbs that are uploaded with submissions one at a time.

Quality thumbs make a huge difference, so you have to find a compromise between productivity and quality that you can live with.

I usually use Dreamweaver also for my basic design skills (I suck tho), but I found I'm much better off just paying a professional to build my hosted galleries, and tgp gallery templates.

Good luck Michelle, and if you need to get put in contact with a gallery template designer let me know :)

Adobe Photoshop -> Adobe ImageReady -> Macromedia Dreamweaver :)

Thanks Marx :-) I am currently working this path (with the help of various tutorials), but I dont understand why I have to slice the whole thing... dreamweaver also still needs some training...

Once you get more into submitting, I'd recommend using an auto-submitter like Chameleon. Create your own database of sites for it and you'll save a ton of time every day.
