The Simple Gallery module is a very powerful yet user friendly module to display images on your website.
One of the most difficult issues to handle on your site is the upload and presentation of digital images. Many of the images taken with today's digital cameras approach or exceed 1 MB in size. While these images look great on your monitor and make great prints they are much to large for website distribution. A visitor with a dial-up connection would need to wait 2 1/2 to 3 minutes to download a single image. Imagine what that user would feel like if your photo album contained 20 images!
To minimize the problem of these large files the Simple Gallery module has the capability to resize the images on upload. This allows you to present large numbers of photos on your site without having to resize them prior to upload.
On the following pages will will detail how to use this module as an effective photo gallery for your visitors. We will also explore how this module can be used to resize your images for use inside the Text Editor.
