Modifying the Lightroom Flash Gallery for Windows Servers.

Modifying the Lightroom Flash Gallery for Windows Servers.: "A recurring question that I get is how to get the Lightroom Flash Gallery to work with Windows Servers. By default, Lightroom exports web images into a folder called 'bin'. This folder as it turns out, causes problems with Windows Servers. To get around this you have 2 options: Modify the gallery, or copy it and modify it. The latter is the safest way.

First you need a copy of the gallery.
Mac. Control Click (or Right Click) on the Application file: Adobe Lightroom.app.
From the menu, choose 'Show Package Content'.
A window will open with a folder called 'Contents'. Open this and then open 'Plugins'.
Control Click (or Right Click) on the file: Web.lrmodule.
From the menu, choose 'Show Package Content'.
A window will open with a folder called 'Contents'. Open this and then open 'Resources'.
Finally open the folder 'galleries'.
Inside is a file called 'default_flash.lrwebengine'.
This is the file you need to copy.

XP: The default location for the file you need is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2\shared\webengines.
Inside is a file called 'default_flash.lrwebengine'.
This is the file you need to copy.

Vista: I don't have Vista to check, but I think it's also in a similar location inside the Lightroom Program folder.


The location this needs to be copied to is found with Lightroom open and going to the Presets tab of Lightroom Preferences (Edit>Preferences on PC, Lightroom>Preferences on Mac). From there click the 'Show Lightroom Presets Folder" button. Inside the window that opens, create a folder called 'Web Galleries" (no quotation marks), if it doesn't already exist. Open this and copy'default_flash.lrwebengine' into.

Open the default_flash.lrwebengine folder (you need to right/ctrl click on Mac and choose Show Package Contents). Inside are a number of files, but the one we need is called 'galleryInfo.lrweb'.

In the version I'm looking at (V2.4 on Mac), lines 21 and 22 read:

title = LOC '$$/WPG/Templates/Flash/Bluefire1=Lightroom Flash Gallery',
id = 'com.adobe.wpg.flash.bluefire1',
Change these lines (they may be different line numbers for you) to

title = LOC '$$/WPG/Templates/Flash/Bluefire1=Lightroom Flash Gallery MOD',
id = 'com.adobe.wpg.flash.bluefire1mod',
Then after Line 45
 [ 'photoSizes.tracking' ] = false,


Add the following lines:

['photoSizes.large.directory'] = 'large',
['photoSizes.small.directory'] = 'small',
['photoSizes.medium.directory'] = 'medium',
['photoSizes.thumb.directory'] = 'thumb',

What we've done here is to give our copied gallery a new identifier for Lightroom, and a different name that will appear in the Engines panel of Web. The 4 new lines create new folders for the generated images for the gallery, and are not inside a 'bin' folder.

Save the file, and then restart Lightroom. A new gallery should appear in the Engines panel of web called 'Lightroom Flash Gallery MOD'. Use this to generate your galleries. Please bear in mind any of the Flash Web Templates will call the default gallery, so make sure the Engines panel reads Lightroom Flash Gallery MOD if you apply a Template.

10 alternativas a Cuevana para ver películas online

10 alternativas a Cuevana para ver películas online : Durante este último tiempo, en Cuevana se sucedieron varios “problemas” por los cuales hubo que ajustar algunas cosas antes de tiempo (como el rediseño del sitio), que dejaron a algunos usuarios ciertos problemas para acceder a las películas o series del portal. Pero realmente esto es algo que no incumbe a los usuarios y, como sabemos, existen muchas otras alternativas a Cuevana dando vueltas por Internet, que intentaremos presentar aquí mismo. Los sitios que repasaremos funcionan del mismo modo que Cuevana, mediante la instalación de un plugin que permite visualizar los videos de Megaupload o WUShare, entre otros servicios, en una calidad de imágen realmente excelente. Tal como sucede con el más popular servicio, todos ellos tienen publicidad que en algunos casos resulta insoportable, pero como dice Federico en DotPod “a caballo regalado no se le miran los dientes”.

Learn Composition from the Photography of Henri Cartier-Bresson

“Do you see it?” This question is a photographic mantra. Myron Barnstone , my mentor, repeats this question every day with the hopes that we do “see it.” This obvious question reminds me that even though I have seen Cartier-Bresson’s prints and read his books, there are major parts of his work which remain hidden from public view. Beneath the surface of perfectly timed snap shots is a design sensibility that is rarely challenged by contemporary photographers. Henri Cartier-Bresson. © Martine Franck Words To Know 1:1.5 Ratio: The 35mm negative measures 36mm x 24mm. Mathematically it can be reduced to a 3:2 ratio. Reduced even further it will be referred to as the 1:1.5 Ratio or the 1.5 Rectangle. Eyes: The frame of an image is created by two vertical lines and two horizontal lines. The intersection of these lines is called an eye. The four corners of a negative can be called the “eyes.” This is extremely important because the diagonals connecting these lines will form the breakdown ...
